Pauline Ferrand-Prévot: “They can be awarded the title of world champion for change of plan”
Pauline Ferrand-Prévot took the opportunity to deliver a message on his social networks, explaining his change of plan: “Hello everyone, I admit that I took time to write this post. Indeed, for a month and my victory on the Tour de France, I try to find a good balance between taking advantage of all the opportunities available to me and maintaining my healthy life of professional sportswoman, which is essential for me. I had made the decision, at the start of the season, not to participate in the world championships in Rwanda, for the last year Beginning of my “process” of return on the road, I got out of the Olympic period physically tired and mentally worn.
That said, I realize that the years follow each other but are not alike. The context is really different too (few races this year, and much less pressure for the Tour de France than for the Olympic Games). So I feel ready to continue to give the best of myself, in an intelligent and thoughtful way. This is why, in consultation with my team and the French team, we decided that I will participate in the world championships on the African continent. I am honored to run with my French teammates, who are part of the world elite, to give the best of ourselves to the conquest of the iridescent jersey. Thank you all for your unconditional support. Forward for a new beautiful experience! And in any case, I can already be awarded the title of world champion of change of plan. “
