Consultant at the same time as companion of Julian Alaphilippe, Marion Rousse is on all fronts during the Tour de France. She spoke of her darling on the set of “France Télévisions”.
After ten years of living together (punctuated by a marriage) with Tony Gallopin, Marion Rousse has been the companion of another tricolor cyclist since 2020. A love story with Julian Alaphilippe which resulted in the birth of a little Nino. Since then, the couple has lived off their common passion for cycling and participates in particular, each in his own way and in his own way, at the Tour de France. Absent last year, the Soudal-Quick Step runner is back on the French roads, while Marion Rousse is not far from him since she provides commentary for France Télévisions, in her role as a consultant. On Saturday, she made a confession about Julian Alaphilippe.
Before the start of the eighth stage which offered the peloton a run from Libourne to Limoges, the one who was French road champion in 2012 therefore gave a little confidence about her champion at heart. ” We remembered that last year he had not been selected to participate in the Tour de France and he had rather badly experienced it because it is a great love story between Julian Alaphilippe and the Tour de France . It was adopted by the public and it’s true that he pays it back rather well with his long rides. »
Expected bang
Still without a win and rather disappointing since the start of the 2023 edition of the Grande Boucle, the 31-year-old man hopes to be able to meet all or part of the expectations of French supporters. If a good overall ranking seems out of reach for the time being, a bang on one of the stages that will punctuate the next two weeks of racing cannot be ruled out. The French public and Marion Rousse sincerely hope so.
