In reversal, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot will race Road Worlds
Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift champion Pauline Ferrand-Prévot announced that she now plans to race the Road World Championships next month in Rwanda, reversing an earlier decision.
Ferrand-Prévot wrote in a post on Instagram that she had decided at the beginning of the season not to race Worlds after a physically and emotionally draining 2024 (when she won the Olympic mountain bike title), saying she didn't want to ask for extra effort from a body that was already at 80%.
But after recovering from her Tour win, she said she realized that this year had actually been less stressful, and she was "ready to give the best of myself again," joking that she is now "the world champion in changing plans." The post included a selfie of her in French national team kit. The women's road race in Kigali is September 27.
