Tadej Pogacar, Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel 'at an exceptional level', says Julian Alaphilippe
Julian Alaphilippe says «self-pity isn't any use» as he — and his team — look to make some indents on cycling's biggest names during the Classics season. Alaphilippe followed a disappointing 43rd at Strade Bianche with an 11th-placed finish at Milan-San Remo and then abandoned the E3 Saxo Classic with illness.
