Julian Alaphilippe on France 2: “I’m glad it’s over”
“I’m glad it’s over. It’s difficult to sum it up now; you first need to step back from everything and then recover in order to do this. Personally, I didn’t have any wins, but I put in a lot of effort, so I hope that will help me in the future. »
Thibaut Pinault on France 2: “The Page That Turns”
“It definitely ends, it’s special, especially on the Champs-Élysées. I’m happy with what I did on this tour. It’s a beautiful page to turn, but I hope the next page is even more beautiful. »
[Sur son plus beau moment dans ce Tour] : “When I realized I was riding alone on the Petit Ballon d’Alsace, it was special. I had to take advantage of this, I felt a feeling of happiness that carried me to the top.”
“I don’t regret anything, I don’t regret my decision, I have two and a half months left and I’m going to enjoy it. It didn’t change anything for me.”
