[HIGHLIGHTS] Dauphiné - Alaphilippe: "It's been a long time since I've felt so good"

"It's been a long time since I've felt so good," said Julian Alaphilippe before Sunday's start of the Critérium du Dauphiné. The former double world champion has not raced since Liège-Bastogne-Liège on April 23.

"I feel physically fresh and that's a good sign because it's a period that you have to approach with a lot of freshness," he said. "Fighting for the general classification is out of the question," he added.
