Julian Alaphilippe does not see himself doing the Tour de France this summer. The 31-year-old rider announced that he did not think he would be on the French roads this summer to compete in the Tour.

Remco Evenepoel declared, on the evening of Paris-Nice, that he “would like to have Julian with” him on the Grande Boucle. “It remains a goal to one day win the Tour of Flanders but I have the impression, when I see the last few weeks, that it is a dream that is getting further and further away.”
