Julian Alaphilippe: "I didn't plan to go solo"

"I’m speechless. I don’t realize what’s happening to me. I knew this stage suited me. I managed to avoid any pitfalls and crashes. I felt good so I accelerated in the Mutigny climb but I didn’t think I’d go alone. I gave everything. I heard I was 30 or 40’’ ahead. It’s difficult to meet the expectations being the favourite. I made it. I’m delighted."
