168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Julian Alaphilippe has intimated that he will miss the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour of Flanders in 2022 in order to focus on t༒he Ardennes Classics.

The world champion raced Dwars door Vlaanderen and the Ronde this year before going on to win 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:La Flèche Wallonne and place second at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liège-Bastogne-Liège, but he believes that he spread himself too thinly by trying to be competitive on the co❀bbles as well as in the Ardennes.

"What will change for the first part of the next season is that I will stay focused on the Ardennes Classics. They’re the races that suit me best. Even though I loved discovering the Tour of ♊Flanders, it is a race that I will come back to💧 do at 100 per cent when I’m ready to give my all to go for victory.

"To be ready for La Flèche Wallonne or Li🍰ège-Bastogne-Liège at the end of April and to play for the win in the Tour of Flanders is a bit difficult. Next year I will focus on the Ardennes. Then the Tour de France will foll💝ow quickly, and we will see."

Alaphilippe made his Tour of Flanders debut in the pandemic-delayed edition of 2020, crashing out of the winning break when he clipped a motorbike. He placed 42nd at the 2021 Ronde, which was won by his Deceuninck-QuickStep teammate Kasper Asgre🌃en.

Although Alaphilippe has won La Flèche Wallonne on three occasions, he has endured disappointment at Liège-ඣBastogne-Liège, where he placed second in 2015 and 2021, and where he was declassified from second place in 2020.

The Frenchman has yet to decide on his approach to the Tour de France, where he has won a stage and worn the yellow jersey in each of the past three editions. He spent 14 days in the maillot jaune in 2019, only losing the garment on stage 19, and he went on to reach Paris in 5th place overall. Despite that remarkable𓆉 July, Alaphilippe has downplayed the idea of fighting for the general classification ever since.

"So much can ha🐈ppen in the first week and in the first part of the Tour. It's difficult to predict a scenario and that's something I really like," Alaphilippe said of the 2022 route. "But when I say that, I’m not thinking about the general classification. I’m just thinking about doing nice stages and trying to win. A lot of things are going to happen and that will make the Tour interesting, I hope.

"That's what I mean when I say I like the route of the Tour. There are also some very diff🎉icult stages in the high mountains, which will be very complicated. I am not making too many plans at the moment. I will wait until I go to reconnoitre some of the stages before setting myself clearer objectives."

Alaphilippe claimed his second successive world title in Leuven in September with a remarkable solo attack on the penultimate lap. He confessed afterwards that he would not have minded giving up the rainbow jersey, though he expressed hope to RMC that the title would not weigh as heavily the secon🐻d time around.

"I hope so because I have learned to ride with theꦰ rainbow jersey," he said. "I have learnt to wear it every 🥃day in training and take all the demands that go with it."
