    Such a classless move on Lefevere’s part to publicly comment like that. What was he supposed to accomplish by shaming a rider and his family, force on more wins? No wonder that team has been downhill the last few years, look at this disgracefully unprofessional attempt to get a rider to improve!

    Agreee with Patrick on this one. If he has an alcohol problem, they should be supporting him and offering the resources he needs to break that issue, whether its a mental health or physical dependency issues. NOT threaten with contract termination or berating him publically.

    This isn't the first time Levefere is treating one of his riders like this though. If every 2 out of 10 (random numbers) rider on his team is a problem, and you don't hear this kind of stuff as frequently from other teams, then maybe Levefere is the problem. He is great at what he does, but he's a dick

    Alaphilippe 100% drinks, I've seen all the QST team having a couple glasses of wine in the Mendoza airport waiting for their flight out of the tour de san juan 2019. and I really don't think that's a big deal because he was already in unreal shape in early february, skinny to the bone and won a couple stages there too.

    @Jan-se1nd Před 3 měsíci +7

    I remember a podcast with one of Alaphilippe's teammates - no point in saying who - who was asked where Alaphilippe placed form wise among all the riders at the first camp of the season. He said he would show up in the worst shape of all and ride like hell for 3 weeks to get in better shape and that it would work -- he would be at the top shape wise at the end of the training camp. But for how long can you do that and still be successful?
    That pod was 3 or 4 years ago and Alaphilippe is now 31 -- does he still approach his training so amateurishly? If so, well, I get why the last couple of years have been difficult for him.

    • @Jeroen_K
      @Jeroen_K Před 3 měsíci +1

      Even if this is true, it doesn't say anything. He might have stuck to base training better than the others and got dropped, because the other riders trained to race in training. Even sticking to zones in the camp could have had him grow during the weeks, while others went nuts in the hyper-competitive nature some of the more amateuristic training camps have.

    • @Jan-se1nd
      @Jan-se1nd Před 3 měsíci +1

      @@Jeroen_K Well, the point of the story was that Alaphilippe is such a natural, physical talent that he could show up without doing the required winter training and still be a world class athlete. And it was also implied that it wasn't the first time it had happened -- that it was his way of training.
      I also want to emphasise that it was said in a sort of admiration for Alaphilippe. There were no ill intentions behind it. But the hosts did wonder for how long he could keep training like that, as do I. Again, I won't mention who the teammate is or the hosts, but I believe it to be a teammate that respects Alaphilippe massively.

  • @lucasgoren379

    I think everyone is being way too nice here. Lefevere is a bully, and not in the cute playground sense of kicking sand. Like Patrick and Benji made clear, he likely has had a private conversation with Alaphilippe. The only reason you'd air those critiques publicly is to hurt Alaphilippe and Marion and it's a shame that the rider's union isn't doing anything about this abuse.

    There are lots of drug issues in all sport. Whether Alaphilippe has an issue or not, this is an issue that needs more attention. Riders can get hooked on sleeping pills or alcohol as they struggle to get to sleep after the rush of a race and all the sugars and caffeine they take.
