At the end of his contract with the Soudal Quick-Step team, Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe joined the Swiss Tudor Pro Cycling team, launched in 2022 by double Olympic champion Fabian Cancellara.
It’s a new beginning. After ten years with the Quick Step, Julian Alaphilippe (32 years old) launched a new challenge by joining the Tudor Pro Cycling team. At the end of the contract, the double world champion (2020 and 2021) signed, last summer, three years with the Swiss team launched in 2022 by double Olympic champion Fabian Cancellara.
And despite this change, the French cyclist, who is currently in training before the start of the new season, has not lost too much financially. He is expected to receive an annual salary of more than 2 million euros, according to the Swiss newspaper Le Temps. Emoluments practically equivalent to those he received within the Belgian team (2.3 million euros per year). He also benefited from the hiring of his cousin Franck Alaphilippe as coach.

Winner of the Tour of Italy and the Tour de France or crowned world champion in 2024, the Slovenian recently extended his contract with the UAE Team Emirates until 2030 with a record salary of 8 million euros per month. year.
