The weight of the runners was one of the central questions of this Tour de France women 2025 with in particular the fears displayed by Cédrine Kerbaol before the thinness of some of his opponents.
And it was not the images of Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, which appeared very thin throughout the week, which gave reassuring answers since the queen of this edition had to lose four pounds during her preparation to be the strongest in the mountains.
“I don’t want the skin on the bones”
A sacrifice that his Dauphine Demi Vollering does not seem ready to do. Asked about the subject, the Dutchman said at the end of the 9th stage in Châtel that she did not intend to lose more weight to hope. “” I could lose weight, but I don’t want to have the skin on the bones. I will never be as light as Pauline and Gigant. I think I have rather good weight, I’m just bigger –1.72m against 1.65 for “PFP”-“she reacted in remarks reported by France Info.
Relaunched on the theme, she continued: “I am proud of this ‘heavy’ weight (environ 57 kg). I want to be an example, show young girls that you may not be super thin to win. I know many young people who fight with this question. I hope that young girls do not think today that you have to be super thin to win. ”
