Julian Alaphilippe was unanimously named Sunday, the most combative rider of the 2019 Tour de France by the jury chaired by the race director Thierry Gouvenou. The Frenchman, winner of two stages and yellow jersey for fourteen days, succeeds the winners to the Irishman Dan Martin. In the history of the Tour, fighting began to be rewarded in 1952. The first "super-combative" was designated in 1956 (André Darrigade). The public who gave its opinion, via Twitter, for this trophy, also opted for Alaphilippe.
