Pauline Ferrand-Prévot has not competed for over ten weeks due to an ankle injury sustained earlier in the spring, which resulted in hospital treatment, antibiotics, and illness. She has been training at altitude and is prepared for her debut in the Tour de France Femmes, aiming for a yellow-jersey win. This would mark a significant achievement, as it would be the first win for a French rider in the Tour since 1989. Ferrand-Prévot expressed excitement and optimism about her readiness for the event after her time away from competition.
I'm feeling good and happy to be here finally. I haven't raced since the Vuelta, which is two months and two weeks, quite a long time. This is the main goal of my season. I'm doing well.
I took a break from the Vuelta to heal from my small injury from the crash at Strade Bianche. After that, I began preparing for the Tour, which is my main goal for the season, and I wanted to be 100% ready for this race.
