Tour Femmes Winner Achieves 'Goal of Her Life'

CHATEL - Olympic champion Pauline Ferrand-Prevot became the first Frenchwoman to win the Tour de France Femmes on Aug 3, pushing through three punishing climbs to clinch the final stage ahead of 2023 champion Demi Vollering, who finished second overall.

The 33-year-old of team Visma Lease a Bike held steady through the 124.1km ride from Praz-sur-Arly to Chatel, before launching a decisive attack in the last 7km, and fell to the ground in tears after crossing the finish line.

"I'm so, so happy," Ferrand-Prevot told reporters. "I was a bit scared with the pressure of this jersey... I had to stick to the front and just stay there."

Vollering stayed in a group with Ferrand-Prevot for the majority of the ninth stage, but could not break away to make up her deficit of more than three minutes coming into the last day.
