One thing is certain, Marion Rousse did not digest the absence of her companion, Julian Alaphilippe, from this Tour de France 2022. And the young woman did not hide her bitterness.
The Tour de France 2022 has a bitter taste for Marion Rousse. Indeed, his companion, cycling champion, is not part of the Grande Boucle. The reason : a heavy crash that occurred on May 7 during the mythical Liège-Bastogne-Liège race. With “two broken ribs, a broken shoulder blade and a pneumothorax”, impossible for the athlete to take the start of the Tour. If Nino’s dad had recognized that his absence from the Grande Boucle was ultimately more reasonable, Marion Rousse is apparently not of the same opinion.
At the controls of the comments of this Tour de France, the young woman expressed her frustration at the absence of her companion. This Wednesday, July 20, when the director of the Tour de France announces to him that two stages of the Tour 2023 could correspond to the physical capacities of Julian Alaphilippe, the young woman’s response was somewhat sharp : “If Patrick Lefevere (boss of his companion’s team, editor’s note) listens to us, the message has passed”. Visibly bitter, Marion Rousse is angry with him.
Marion Rousse, sharp towards the boss of Quick Step
Faced with this well-placed tackle, the journalists of France Télévisions did not hesitate to take up this attack with “Ouuuuh”. “That’s a tackle”, even launches Laurent Jalabert, before qualifying this tackle as “ground tackle”. Humor of course, but Marion Rousse has obviously sent a message to the boss of Quick Step. Passionate about cycling, Nino’s mother is having a hard time digesting the absence of her darling during this Tour de France 2022. Hoping that during the next competition, Julian Alaphilippe will indeed be present… Otherwise, some will have ringing ears. The young woman definitely does not keep her tongue in her pocket.
