Tour de France Femmes champion, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, rejoices in her triumph and discusses her ambitions for 2025.
Pauline Ferrand-Prevot to Target Tour de France Again in 2026
Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, the versatile and accomplished cyclist, has announced her intention to compete in the Tour de France again in 2026. This news comes after her triumphant win at the Tour de France Femmes earlier this year, an achievement that saw her enjoy the incredible support from the public.
In a recent visit to the Visma-Lease a Bike headquarters in the Netherlands, Ferrand-Prevot celebrated her Tour victory and expressed her desire to fight again for the coveted title. However, it was initially suggested that she might not target the Tour again, but she has since changed her mind.
The European Championships, to be held in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of south-east France, near Valence, will serve as Ferrand-Prevot's first major competition in October. The women's elite road race will cover a distance of 116.1km with 1,570m of vertical elevation gain, starting in Privas and finishing in Guilherand-Granges, where a local loop with punchy climbs will be tackled.
Ferrand-Prevot, who has won an Olympic gold medal, the Tour de France Femmes, and 12 elite World Champion titles, has opted to miss the World Championships in Rwanda. She has also decided not to pursue another set of rainbow bands in 2025, choosing instead to take time to recover and set new goals.
The finish location of the European mountain bike titles, where Ferrand-Prevot has previously won two titles, remains to be announced. It's likely that she will continue to focus on key races in road cycling, mountain biking, and cyclo-cross, aiming to build on her previous successes.
For the most accurate and current details about Ferrand-Prevot's plans and ambitions, fans are encouraged to follow her official social media channels or recent interviews where she may share updates about her 2025 targets and whether she intends to participate in the 2026 Tour de France.
In a heartwarming moment, Ferrand-Prevot shared her joy at seeing the little children on the side of the road with signs at the Tour de France, expressing her appreciation for the relationship she enjoys with the public at the event. As she prepares for the European Championships and beyond, it's clear that Ferrand-Prevot's passion for cycling and her connection with her fans remain strong.
