Pauline-Ferrand Prévot: "Now I'm not fit to Win"

Pauline Ferrand-Prévot finished 7th at the European Cyclocross Championships in Namur where she tested her condition after a period of rest.

“I came here to see where I can best,” says Prevot now focused on winning another cyclocross world title on February 4th (Hoogerheide, Netherlands). After 7th place at the European Championships, the Frenchwoman makes her assessments.

The World Cup is my goal. It is also for this reason that I ran the Europeans not in full shape. I wanted to test my legs and understand where to work in the coming months " - Pauline Ferrand Prevot

His 2022/23 debut in cyclocross was not perfect, also given his own continued mechanical problems at Koppenbergcross in the middle of last week, where it finished in 12th place. But we are not here to judge since we know Prevot's athletic skills and we know that she, with the right form, can achieve any goal. We remember that 2022 was magical for Prevot, where he won the world title in Marathon, Short Track, Gravel and Cross Country! So a period of rest, before the winter cyclocross season, was well deserved.

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
