Julian Alaphilippe

Julian Alaphilippe is the rider who reminds me why I love road racing. A two time World Champion out of rural Cher, he attacks on instinct rather than arithmetic, hitting the gas while he has the legs and trusting the rest to courage. His long stint in the yellow jersey at the 2019 Tour electrified France for good reason, and the Vélo d'Or only confirmed his standing. The cyclo-cross background gives him a grubby, fearless edge most pure road men lack. I will always take a panache driven racer who risks losing over a calculator who protects a placing, and Alaphilippe is panache made flesh.
