Marion Rousse scratched the detractors of her companion, Julian Alaphilippe, winner of the 12th stage of the Tour of Italy this Thursday.
One year later. A year after his last victory, Julian Alaphilippe won this Thursday on the 12e stage of the Tour of Italy 2024 between Martinsicuro and Fano. A stage that he had marked in his diary and which he won at the end of a sublime solo number, thus signing his 42e victory since his professional debut.
A success which will do the double world champion a lot of good and which his partner, Marion Rousse, was delighted with. Through her Instagram account, the director of the women’s Tour de France sent a jab to the detractors of the 31-year-old puncher by publishing a photo of Alaf accompanied by the song Blah Blah Blah by Armin Van Buuren.
“All we always hear about you is blah blah blah”
Here is a small excerpt of the lyrics of the song: “All we always hear about you is blah blah blah. So all we do every time is ha ha ha. And we don’t really care what they say, because it’s blah blah blah. » A message intended in particular for the general manager of Soudal Quick-Step, Patrick Lefevere, who has not been kind to Alaphilippe in recent months.
For his part, “Loulou” did not hide his joy after his victory at the microphone of Eurosport. “It was my dream to win a stage in the Tour of Italy, so I am very happyhe confided. It’s a victory that does a lot of good, it’s an important victory for me. I think of my wife (Marion Rousse) and my son, who have supported me a lot recently and always. Thanks to my whole team, who controlled the start of the stage really well. I told them that it was a step I had checked off. I’m really happy to have gotten there. »
