How do you blame young children? Still just as popular during this Tour de France, despite less impressive performances than in other exercises, Julian Alaphilippe is happy to take pictures after the race.
In front of his team bus, the Soudal Quick-Step rider poses with two young children while the father immortalizes the moment. Very polite, these kings of cyclists then thank… Alain Philippe.
Born from an error, this nickname has been popularized for some time and uninformed fans confuse it with the real nickname of the French cyclist. It must be said that the Twitter account of the FFLose, which “supports losing France”, has largely contributed to this nickname.
For several seasons, signs displaying “Alain Philippe” have appeared on the roads of the Tour de France. A situation which obviously does not bother the runner, hilarious after the error of the cyclists, nor the team which relayed this moment on its social networks.
