Patrick Lefevere is not the type to be asked to put Julian Alaphilippe on. Over the course of several months, the manager of the Soudal Quick-Step formation made numerous interventions to the Frenchman through various outings in the press. The Belgian criticizes his rider in particular for not performing well enough given his status and salary: “I want it back. He owes me revenge. Julian has a champion salary, but he still needs to confirm it is. I don’t care if he’s not world champion anymore, but he hasn’t won much in recent years. Yes, he had a lot of bad luck, but the lucky ones are always the same, the unlucky ones are always the same…‘ had launched Patrick Lefevere, for example. last hour About the 2022 season of Julian Alaphilippe.
And just like last year, Julian Alaphilippe showed bad luck on the roads. The 30-year-old runner, the author of disappointing performances at the Flandriennes races, missed a significant part of the Ardennes due to a knee injury. The French must return to Liège-Bastogne-Liège, a competition they never won on Sunday, April 23. Still dissatisfied with his star’s performance, Patrick Lefevere drew it again during an interview. RMC Sports this Monday, April 17:Saying you’re in trouble is a big word. He’s been going from one bad luck to the next since last year, and I mustn’t hide mentally that it’s hard for him to come back every time, to train, to regain his morale. We’re doing everything we can on the team to help him, but in the end it’s the driver himself who has to do it.“
The Belgian thus sent another print to Julian Alaphilippe: “I learned a very nice phrase in French: ‘Everyone in life should give their salary’. Salary for three seasons until 2024. Fortunately, we can say that he is a two-time world champion. Apart from that, he won the first stage of the Tour and the yellow jersey. I understand the French teams are excited about this, but not me.“And Soudal Quick-Step’s manager took the opportunity to point out the Frenchman’s salary once again:”Like everyone else, I like him. How can you not love Julian? But I have to be realistic, it consumes a large part of my budget and I still want results.“
