“Here it is: Pauline”, “PFP President”: Ferrand-Prévot won the Tour and conquered… hearts
From the very first stage of the women's Tour, the Olympic mountain bike champion was the most scrutinized and eagerly awaited rider by the public. And she played the game, always available, especially for her younger fans.
By Marion Canu , special correspondent in Châtel (Haute-Savoie)We stopped counting a long time ago the number of parents who will be able to boast in the coming weeks of having in their phone a souvenir photo, now a collector's item, of their offspring with Pauline Ferrand-Prévot . We also stopped counting the number of signs with her image. Every day, on the side of the roads, the words: "All fans of Pauline", "Here it is: Pauline", "Pauline we love you", "PFP President" flourished and accompanied her until the final victory.
Throughout this women's Tour de France , which launched with great fanfare on July 26 in Morbihan, the Olympic mountain bike champion was the most anticipated rider and one of the most supported by the spectators. "The public has been incredible since the start of the Tour de France, it's a unique feeling," she savored Saturday evening after the finish.
