SENECHAL. Initially removed from the list of riders summoned for the Tour de France 2022, the Frenchman will finally compete in the Grande Boucle after Tim Declerq’s package.
No Julian Alaphilippe, but Florian Sénéchal will participate in the next Tour de France 2022! Due to Belgian Tim Declerq’s Covid package, the brand new French champion will be part of the adventure from July 1 to 24. A few days ago, the Quick Step rider expressed his disappointment. I learned the news on Friday, before the French championships. I was disappointed but it gave me the motivation to do well in the league. I had hoped that being champion of France would change the game, but even for the world champion it does not matter… now I am a reserve. They made their decision, I’m just a runner.
The team informed me that they wanted to put Danes for the big start in Copenhagen to give a good image. I can understand it, marketing is important too. It’s a big advertisement Tour de France. We will watch the team on TV to see how they manage to win stages. Personally, I know that I have done well professionally and with results. I’m going to take a vacation and we’ll see the tricolor jersey on the roads of Italy in training camp and on the Tour of Spain” he explained.
