Marion Rousse surprises: this gesture full of irony about Julian Alaphilippe

Humor invites itself on the Tour de France. And for this 2022 edition from Copenhagen to Paris, it was the Internet users who made viewers smile. Indeed, the absence of Julian Alaphilippe inspired the Twitter account of the French Federation of Lose, which initiated the trend of a certain “Alain Philippe”… who is none other than a clever mix of Julian Alaphilippe and “Alain Philippe”, as some call him by mistake.

And the joke launched by the “Fédé Française de la Lose”, which promises Internet users their “daily dose of self-mockery about the wonderful world of sport”, has rolled as well as the riders of the Tour, since signs on which is written “Alain Philippe” have multiplied on the roads of France. Who wielded the best? This Wednesday, a spectator broke records by posing with his piece of cardboard alongside… Marion Rousse !

Marion Rousse plays the game

And if the photo had its small effect, it’s because the France Télévisions consultant on the Tour de France is none other that the companion of Julian Alaphilippewith whom she had a little Nino in 2021. “Good friends, I think Benjamin has folded the game”greeted the Fédé de la Lose, sharing the photo on which Marion Rousse poses with a broad smile. Irony of fate? Julian Alaphilippe withdrew for the competition due to ensuing injuries his fall on May 7 during Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

The consecration for the Fede de la Lose

And the author of the Fédé Française de la Lose account is not his first recognition. On July 10, the official Tour de France account shared a photo of the rider Thibaut Pinot, behind which was a fan at the side of the road holding the “Alain Philippe” sign. The opportunity to mention the humorous account with a wink. “After having lived through this, one can die in peace”then moved the “head of the Lose”.

One thing is certain: the Tour de France and its famous Alain Philippe still have many surprises in store…
