Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, a 15-time world champion, recently returned to road racing with her new team Visma-Lease a Bike. After a warm-up performance at the UAE Tour, finishing 17th, she is focusing on her first major race, Strade Bianche. She has moved to road cycling full-time, aiming for significant events like Milan-San Remo Women and the Tour de France Femmes. Despite a modest finish in the UAE, Ferrand-Prévot feels prepared and optimistic about her upcoming performance in the Spring Classics, especially given the course's gravel sectors.
"I was not expecting much from the UAE Tour; just to be back in the bunch and with my teammates to get to know each other."
"Tomorrow will be the first test of the season. If I don't do well tomorrow, maybe I will be a bit disappointed because I trained hard for it."
