Sadly, it looks like it won\u2019t be the Tour next year. Despite the fact that when he does try, it\u2019s always a great show. Alaphilippe finished fifth in the 2019 Tour. He was in the lead for most of the race but ultimately lost to Bernal in the last few days, claiming the hearts of many fans in the process. In 2020 he took stage two and the yellow jersey. It looked like he was at it again but then lost the lead through a penalty and finished 36th overall in the end.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_180476\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-180476\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2020\/11\/Alaphilippe-profimedia-0560220989.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-180476\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2020\/11\/Alaphilippe-profimedia-0560220989-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Julian Alaphilippe\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-180476\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alaphilippe celebrates meters before crossing the finish line to win the Men&#8217;s Elite Road Race. \u00a9 Profimedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThe route of the 2021 Tour is nice, and it motivates me.
