Pauline Ferrand-Prévot heads into the Tour of Flanders as a top contender after an impressive return to road racing. Just a year back, she made her comeback and quickly soared to prominence, winning the Tour de France Femmes and clinching Paris-Roubaix Femmes. This season, Flanders stands as a prime target as she aims for greater heights.
Ferrand-Prévot has experience on this course, racing it seven times before her break. Last year, she finished second behind Lotte Kopecky after a powerful late move, proving she’s a force to be reckoned with. Visma-Lease a Bike's DS, Jan Boven, expresses confidence in her ability to win, stating, "With Pauline, we know that we are able to win the race."
Her past performance sets high expectations. Boven notes that improving her sprint and refining tactics could be key for victory. The team believes they can build on last year's near-win, adjusting strategies for a stronger push this time.
With her sights set firmly on the podium, Ferrand-Prévot is ready to tackle the challenges ahead. The race on Sunday promises to be thrilling as she aims to convert her talent into a win at one of cycling's most prestigious events.
