"Pauline Ferrand-Prévot's triumph in the Tour de France Femmes doesn't signal an end to her racing aspirations, as she's yet to win numerous other competitions"
Pauline Ferrand-Prevot has made history by becoming the first French winner of the Tour de France Femmes since 1989, securing a decisive victory at the final stage in Châtel.
The 33-year-old cyclist, riding for Team Visma-Lease a Bike, dominated the key mountain stages of the race, outperforming her rivals Demi Vollering and Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney who finished second and third overall.
Ferrand-Prevot's wins at the Tour de France Femmes count as the 14th and 15th of her road career. She has already established herself as a multi-disciplinary world champion, being an Olympic mountain bike champion, Paris-Roubaix winner, and a prominent figure with multiple world championships to her name.
The victory took place high in the Alps at Châtel, where Ferrand-Prevot secured the victory with two mountain stage victories. She was quite in control after the initial scare and remained at the front of the race.
The race saw a minor scare for Ferrand-Prevot, who found herself in the second group after a small mistake in the first downhill. However, her teammates helped her get back on track, and her directeur sportif allowed her to decide whether to go on attack during the final stage.
Ferrand-Prevot took a two-and-a-half-minute lead going into the final day. She jumped away from Vollering, Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney, and Niamh Fisher-Black during the final stage, ultimately winning the final 6km to secure her victory at Châtel.
Regarding her future racing plans, explicit details were not provided in the search results. However, post-race commentary in the coverage suggested admiration for her continued presence in elite cycling and hinted at ongoing career ambitions. There is no clear statement that she intends to retire soon, and she is likely to continue competing at a high level.
Ferrand-Prevot has two more years left on her contract with SD Worx-Protime, and she has her sights set on winning the Tour of Flanders and Liege-Bastogne-Liege in the future.
