This Wednesday, August 13, in an interview with the Swiss media “Tages-Anzeiger”, the Swiss runner Marlen Reusser, in turn, criticized the weight of Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt, during the Tour de France women 2025.
After congratulations, criticism. While she assumed to have lost weight during her preparation for the Tour de France female, Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt is no exception to criticism on this subject. The Frenchwoman had lost 4 pounds before taking part in the Grande Boucle, and winning her for her first participation.
“PFP” had returned to this subject at a press conference, claiming that his weight loss was checked, in particular by a nutritionist. “It is important that parents educate children, explain to them that we are high -level athletes, professionalsshe insists. We knew that the last two days would be difficult on the Tour (with two large mountain stages) And that the watts/kg were essential. It’s just the process. ” The champion had concluded on a humorous note. “NOW (after victory and a return to normal life), I eat what I want and when I want. (laughs) “
Criticized still despite everything
Marlen Reusser, a Swiss runner who took part in the 2025 female tour, is one of those who are worried about their future because of Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt. For the triple European time trial champion, what the French did will impact physical requirements towards women’s cyclists. “We secretly hoped that she would not win. It has established a new standard and when runners are successful, it puts pressure on us. »» She said at the Tages-Anzeiger microphone.
Relying is also concerned for what French victory refers to the youngest: “When she exhibits her new jersey and is obviously proud that he is too big, it sends a message”. The one who forfeited during the first stage of the Tour for food poisoning, is therefore added to the long list of those who criticized the French champion.
