Holder of a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents’ dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
Patron of the Tour de France Femmes, Marion Rousse spoke about her role as manager, consultant, and certainly the most important one, that of mother. Especially since his family life was turned upside down by the transfer of Julian Alaphilippe to Tudor Pro Cycling, a Swiss team.
Big change for Julian Alaphilippe. Wearer of the blue and white jersey of the Quick-Step since his professional debut, the Frenchman made the decision to challenge himself by joining the team Tudor Pro Cycling of Fabian Cancellara, which nevertheless evolves at the lower level. Which means that the team will need invitations to participate in the Grand Tours. Companion of Julian Alaphilippe, Marion Rousse also had to digest this news and find a new organization to educate young Nino, three years old. A temporary operation, especially as her husband enters the home stretch of his career.
“These are his last years as an athlete”
« No, all teams now operate the same way. Julian, as a cyclist, travels more than 250 days a year. So it’s another case different from mine, since I still manage to be a little more present at home. My career will be longer than his, he knows that these are his last years as a top athlete, so he has to do it 100%. Obviously, it’s also hard sometimes on his part not to see his son as he would like, but all high-level athletes are in the same boat unfortunately” confided Marion Rousse.
Nino, the true treasure of Marion Rousse
In this interview given to Paris-Matchthe patron saint of Tour de France women also spoke at length about her son, her real priority. “ He’s still little, he’s three and a half years old, so when we ask him what your dad’s job is, he says “he’s going to train.” For him I think it’s really basic. He hasn’t yet understood that it’s a bit unusual and he’ll learn it soon enough. » said Redhead.
