This is the sporting event of the month of July which animates the daily life of the French every summer. The Tour de France made its big comeback on Saturday July 1, 2023 and is broadcast live on France 2. For the luckiest, it is not on the small screen that the cycle race is watched, but indeed on the ground, on the edge of the roads. Marion Rousse, she, consultant and director of the Tour de France Women, followed the stage of Saturday July 8, 2023 on the set of Bike Club. She accompanied Laurent Luyat, responsible for hosting the show for more than twenty years on the public service. During the show, the latter narrowly missed making a huge mistake. While talking about Tony Gallopin, the ex-companion of Marion Rousse, he said: “A reaction that reaches us, it’s Tony Gallopin, Pedersen’s cop… teammate, the winner of the day”. He caught himself to avoid saying “Marion Rousse’s boyfriend”.
Laurent Luyat, a teaser
This is not the first time that Laurent Luyat has tried to challenge Marion Rousse about the cyclist. Sunday July 2, 2023, the host of Bike Club had drawn the name of Tony Gallopin and his reaction had been immediate: “Marion, that’s it, she looked, she looked!”, was he amused. For her part, the consultant kept her calm and showed professionalism by responding: “I have the right to say it or is it good? Tony Gallopin. We talked about it today. Rider who gamed the classification of San Sebastián”. These small remarks should not be to everyone’s taste since Marion Rousse and Tony Gallopin have been separated since 2019. They were married in 2014, but it’s in the arms of another Marion Rousse cyclist who finally found true love. From now on, she is having happy days with Julian Alaphilippe. The two lovebirds have even passed a milestone since they became parents. The young woman gave birth to a baby boy on Monday, June 14, 2021. The couple decided to name their child Nino.
