Pauline Ferrand-Prévot is a French Superstar

[RedheadDane]

The Tour De France Winner definitely deserves a thread!
Not to mention that she also won Paris-Roubaix earlier this year.
And has won approximately a million other races - across multiple disciplines - including (but not limited to) several World Championships, and Olympic gold.

Edit: I see there was a brief thread, way back in 2016:

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, if she could go for a ride with anyone it would be Lance... "I liked him when I was younger. Whatever he has done in the past, he will always be the best cyclist in the world," Not bright :rolleyes:

Guess it's up to @Armchair Cyclist whether he wants to merge the thread, or just let this one be the thread.

Well, I don‘t think this should be merged with a clinic thread.

Oh, I just searched her name on a whim, and saw that thread in the results.

How has she gone this long without a thread? sacre bleu!

Hard to get a Professional road racing thread without racing on the road.

But she was quite a big deal before she left us. I still haven't quite forgiven her for beating Emma & Lizzie to become world champion in 2014.

Nevertheless, her return just goes to show how much womens cycling has improved since then, There is now fame & a (small) fortune to be made.

Why did my brain just briefly decide to skip the 'b' there?
Yeah, eating your rivals to become World Champion would definitely be frowned upon.

There weren't many threads for female riders at the time. Let's not forget that Vos didn't really have one either.

At least that race gave Lizzie a chance to show the world why Jonathan Vaughters was right when he called her a horrible human being.
