Pauline Ferrand-Prévot: 2025 Tour de France
Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, the French mountain biking superstar, has expressed her interest in competing in the Tour de France Femmes in the future. In an interview with Geraint Thomas’ podcast, Ferrand-Prévot said that she would like to try the Tour in 2025 or 2026.
Ferrand-Prévot is one of the most successful mountain bikers in history, having won the World Championships in cross-country, cross-country marathon, and short track. She has also won the World Cup overall title in all three disciplines.
In recent years, Ferrand-Prévot has also begun to compete in road cycling, and she has shown a lot of potential. In 2023, she won the French National Road Championships and finished second in the UCI Road World Championships road race.
If Ferrand-Prévot does compete in the Tour de France Femmes, she would be one of the favorites to win. She is a versatile rider who is strong in both climbing and sprinting. She would also be a major draw for the race, as she is one of the most popular cyclists in the world.
Tour de France Femmes: An increasing success
The Tour de France Femmes is a new race that was held for the first time in 2022. Due to the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics taking place immediately after the 2024 Tour de France, the 2024 edition will not happen immediately after the men’s tour. Instead, it will take place in the short gap between the Olympic Games and the 2024 Summer Paralympics..
The Tour de France Femmes is part of a growing trend of women’s cycling races becoming more professional and more prestigious. The race is expected to grow in popularity and to become a major success.
The 2022 edition saw the victory of Annemiek van Vleuten (NED) Movistar Team whereas this year was won by Demi Vollering (NED) SD Worx. This race is likely to continue attracting some of the best cyclists in the world.
