After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial staff of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
At 32, Julian Alaphilppe begins a new chapter in his career in 2025. In fact, the Frenchman decided to leave Soudal Quick-Step, joining Tudor training. A change of team which will be synonymous with success for Marion Rousse's companion? Obviously, Alaphilippe hopes to return to success, but Jérôme Pineau is more than pessimistic about the future of the double world champion.
Over the years, Julian Alaphilippe has managed to build an XXL track record, notably winning two world championship titles and prestigious races. The fact is that for a few seasons now, things have been more complicated for the Frenchman, particularly for physical issues. But nowAlaphilippe decided to change team for 2025. His arrival at Tudor will it then allow him to return to success and enrich his trophy cabinet?
Alaphilippe plumbed by Van der Poel, Van Aert and Pogacar?
This Sunday, at the microphone of RMC, Jerome Pineau showed himself worried about future victories of Julian Alaphilippe. Indeed, in the eyes of the former cyclist, the prestigious successes of the Frenchman are certainly over: “ There is something that you forget, which must be put back in the middle of the table and we will quickly remember it in the weeks to come. Julian Alaphilippe has qualities to win certain races, which he won in the past before the emergence of certain guys called Van der Poel, Van Aert and Pogacar. That's the thing. What can he win? Ardennes classics? Pogacar goes there so he is not going to win. The Tour of Flanders? There is Pogacar and Van der Poel. And we forget Pedersen. World champion? It's over. In Rwanda, Pogacar will be there. The big races, which ones remain? The stages on the Tour de France, on the Giro? I won a stage in the Giro, I'm not a huge champion, we expect a lot more than that from Alaphilippe ».
“Remind me of a runner who did 7-8 years at Quick-Step who bounced back well afterwards”
Moreover, Jerome Pineau expressed serious doubts about the performance of Julian Alaphilippe far from the Soudal Quick-Step : « If you expect Alaphilippe to still be able to string Monuments together, no, he won't win that again. And what's more, the last detail reminds me of a runner who did 7-8 years at Quick-Step who bounced back well afterwards. Name me one “. To see now that it will really give Alaphilippe chez Tudor.
