Julian Alaphilippe: “My success is way beyond what I had imagined”

 

It was a dream for me to win a stage at the Tour de France. To add the polka dot jersey to two stage wins is huge. I’m left for words to describe how happy I am. Today, I had col d’Aspin as my goal to secure the polka dot jersey, after which I tried to help Bob [Jungels]. I’m very satisfied with how I went today. This is way beyond what I had imagined.
