After two seasons as Ineos Grenadiers’ only female rider, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pauline Ferrand-Prévot is set to j🌃oin Visma-Lease a Bike in 2025 accor🌳ding to a report from .
The 12-time multi-discipline World Champion had already announced that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2024 wou𝄹ld be her ﷽final year of mountain biking and that she was eyeinℱg a return to the road with the big goal of riding the Tour de✤ France Femmes.
“I do miss it, especially now that we have a Tour de France for women,” Ferrand-Prévot told Ineos Grenadiers teammate Geraint Thomas on his podcast back in October.
“I would like to ride the Tour de France one day. Right now I'm very focused on the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris Olympics, but why notꦅ get back ♊to road racing next year, or the year after? I would like that.”
Her main focus in 2024, and for her time at Ineos, has been the Paris Olympics after it has been one of the only accola🌄des to elude her during her illustrious career. She’ll take p⛄art in the cross-country MTB event on July 28.
The departure of Ferrand-Pr&ea🔴cute;vot would likely signal the continuation of Ineos Grenadiers being one of the few men's WorldTour teams not to have a women's equivalent.
Ferrand-Prévot’s transfer to Visma-Lease a Bike for 2025 would see her return to full road competition for the first time since 2018, with her final few💎 seasons on Canyon-SRAM only seeing her ride sporadically at French national championships.
She’s been the road World Champion in the past during her most successful 2014 season, where she also won La Flèche Wallonne, Emakumeen Euskal Bira and became French national road andꦬ ITT champion.
However, for the past six seasons, her eyes have only been focused on off-road competition, during whic🦩h time she has taken in eight more MTB rainbow jerseys, one more in the cyclocross field and became the inaugural women’s ✃gravel World Champion.
A move to Visma-Lease a Bike would see her reunited with former teammate and fellow multi-discipline star, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marianne Vos, after the 🉐pair were both on Rabobank-Liv betwee🌟n 2012-2016.
Ferrand-Pr&eac𒁃ute;vot would likely join Vos and young star Fem van Empel in combining both cyclocross with road for the Dutch outfit. Vo꧑s and Van Empel are two of only four riders already signed on to Visma for 2025.
