Julian Alaphilippe won the second stage of the Dauphiné at La Chaise-Dieu. Less than a month before the start of the Grande Boucle (1-23 July), the Frenchman is full of confidence.
His compatriot Christophe Laporte, who had won the day before, kept the yellow jersey, at the same time as Julian Alphilippe but ahead of him in the addition of places. "The last few months have been long but I have been able to stay patient and work hard," said the 30-year-old Auvergnat.
