Julian Alaphilippe to race Giro d'Italia in 2024, will miss Tour de France

Julian Alaphilippe signs on for the 2023 Il Lombardia. The Frenchman will return to Italy for the Giro d'Italia in 2024.

Julian Alaphilippe has confirmed that he will be taking part in the Giro d’Italia this year, opting to make his debut in the Italian Grand Tour at 31 rather than race in the Tour de France.

The former double world champion will thus miss out on the much-anticipated debut of his teammate Remco Evenepoel in the Tour, which Alaphilippe has raced six times in the last eight years, and will instead lead the Soudal-QuickStep team in Italy in May.
