In 2023, Alaphilippe has two victories, the Ardèche Classic and a stage in the Dauphiné.

Next season will be all the more important for Alaphilippe as it is the last of his contract with Patrick Lefevere’s Belgian team Soudal-Quick Step.

For the rest, we will have to wait a little longer before knowing, in particular, what its recovery course will be. As well as knowing whether or not the Tour de France will appear on its calendar.
