The organizers of this Critérium du Dauphiné 2023 had assured a few days ago the presence of the former double world champion on their race, the information was officially confirmed by his Soudal Quick-Step training this Wednesday.
Absent in 2021 and 2022, the French puncher will return to the event on which he won twice (Lans-en-Vercors 2018 and Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne 2019). Not spared from crashes at the start of the season and criticized by his manager, Julian Alaphilippe will be keen to shine on this Criterium from June 4 to 11, a few weeks from the Tour de France. In this eight-day race, Julian Alaphilippe will be accompanied by his compatriots Rémi Cavagna and Florian Sénéchal, Belgians Mauri Vansevenant and Dries Devenyns, Briton Ethan Vernon and Italian Andrea Bagioli.
