Damn dust in his eye… After more than six hours of racing, Julian Alaphilippe made his dream come true by winning the road cycling world championships on Sunday in Italy at Imola.

Having started like a bomb twelve miles from the finish, the Frenchman fined his pursuers to finish with his arms raised on the former Formula 1 circuit.

“I've been so close so many times but I had never even been on the podium.

I arrived here with a lot of ambitions.

It's a dream day for me, repeats the tricolor hero.

I want to thank everyone who follows me and supports me.

Today the France team has been very strong.

I want to thank the coach Thomas Voeckler for believing in me, my family, my relatives, my cousin Franck (also his trainer), Marion (Rousse, his partner).

It is the dream of my career.

When we have seen that, we can die quiet as the other would say.
