GAP, France: Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe kept the Tour de France's overall lead on Wednesday and said he was 'ready for the Alps' after the 200km run to Gap on stage 17, won by Italian Matteo Trentin.
Rowe smirked but did not react to Martin's move after jostling on the way up the type of climb where Alaphilippe has frequently left everyone trailing with his trademark push on this Tour. "When the shit hits the fan, he's my responsibility, I believe he will win the Tour, and it's up to me to deliver him to where he needs to be."Rivals have been predicting local hero Alaphilippe would crack under pressure since he took the overall lead but Thomas' co-captain Egan Bernal lying in fifth overall was unsure.
"Hats off to him, he's the one in the lead and he looks strong. But at last we are in the Alps," said impressive climber Bernal, the youngest man in the race.
