Race Recap
Alaphilippe wins World Championships once again
Julian Alaphilippe (France) attacked his way to a two-time title at the UCI elite world championships, putting in a final blow about 20 kilometers to the line, and holding off a group of select favorites to celebrate solo in Dylan van Baarle (Netherlands) finished second and Michael Valgren (Denmark) took third.
“Last year was a dream for me,” Alaphilippe said at the finish, “it was very hard and it’s emotional. I was very motivated. I wanted to do well for the team and get the best result possible.
"The legs felt great and in the final I made the cut. This wasn’t planned. I went all out, I have no words. I thought of my little one on the final. There were many supporters for Belgium and they asked me to slow down. They weren’t sympathetic words but it gave me more motivation.”
