Pauline Ferrand-Prevot had a great spring, but La Vuelta Femenina is the real test of her comeback - Analysis
Briefly

Pauline Ferrand-Prévot returned to road cycling with the goal of winning the Tour de France Femmes après Zwift, a challenge she enthusiastically embraces after dominating in mountain biking. Her initial results in 2025 have surpassed expectations, showing her competitive prowess in various Classics. As she heads to the Vuelta Femenina, where she faces rigorous stage races and mountainous terrains, her performance is set to be a pivotal test for her capabilities in this new chapter of her cycling career.
"I never dared to dream of a spring like this. It was an amazing, but demanding period. I enjoyed a short break at home to recharge. Now I feel completely ready to give it my all in La Vuelta."
"So far, the Frenchwoman's return has gone better than probably anyone would have expected. A few test runs in late 2024 were nothing to write home about, but in 2025, you'd hardly know she hadn't raced on the road for years."
