Pauline Ferrand-Prevot

Thomas Bonnet goes to Burgos BH, whilst Pierre Thierry is heading to Cofidis.

In other news, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot won't race again in 2026.

After abandoning the Tour de France with illness back in August, she and the team decided some extended recovery would be the best thing in order to be back and ready for next season.

So enjoy your time off, Pauline.

Yeah

... a prime example this year, Ned, was at the Tour de France Femmes and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot and her shocking position.

Yeah, it was really-

I mean, it was kind of Felix Gall-ish.

... "Here's what we should do," you know? Like change this up.

Yeah, 'cause that was the thing in the, in the FIM's with Pauline Ferrand-Prévot's time trial that's set up, where everyone's like, "This po- is this position like-"

Yeah

... right or off or whatever? So yeah, it's, it's hard to think that he wouldn't have access to someone that could do this perfectly, but it, it's funny, I agree.

And yeah, phenomenal.

Kind of like Pauline Ferrand-Prévot.

You know, she's won everything in most disciplines.

Most-

Um, that, you know, this is an indicator of RED-S and LEA, and that it's important to, like, remind everyone that, one, losing or having irregular periods are not normal, and that, two, RED-S and LEA can affect any athlete in any sport at any size." Which is something we'll circle back on today, but I thought that was just, like, a very pertinent moment in the tour.

We talked last year after Pauline Ferrand-Prévot won- That about her intentionally kind of maybe like messing with her weight a little bit to, to capitalize on her watts to kilo did not work out this year.

She hasn't had a great season on the, on the bike, and is that due to maybe some of that? Maybe.

I kind of think so.
