Tour de France stage winner Vauquelin joins Alaphilippe in French road race team for Paris Olympics

The final teams for the cycling events at the Paris Olympics are coming together, with the host nation France naming Tour de France stage 2 winner Kévin Vauquelin to the team for the men’s road race.

Giro d’Italia stage winner Julian Alaphilippe, who skipped the Tour de France with the Olympics in mind, will be one of the home favourites after finishing second overall at the Tour of Slovakia last month.
