Laurent Jalabert gave his opinion on the possibility of seeing the (young) children of women’s Tour de France riders stay close to their mothers during the event.
In certain sports disciplines, mothers with young children now have the possibility of taking them with them to major competitions. This is for example the case for Amel Majri on the side of the French women’s football team, since the player received authorization from her coach to fly to Australia with her baby to compete in the 2023 World Cup. In judo, Clarisse Agbégnénou is also accompanied by her little Athéna born in June 2022. For cycling, on the other hand, things are a little more complicated.
The subject was also mentioned this Sunday, during the first stage of the women’s Tour de France. To the comments for France Televisions, Laurent Jalabert gave his opinion live. ” Taking care of your child after the stage seems complicated to me because every minute, every hour counts for recovery. I would not say that cycling is a more difficult sport than judo, not at all, but hey… “And as a solution, the winner of the Tour of Spain 1995 did not look far by recommending to some to help their other half.
“If there is a mom, there is a dad behind”
While the journalist Nicolas Geay suggested to him that the fathers could possibly take over, Laurent Jalabert abounded in this direction. ” Yes, of course, if there is a mom, there is a dad behind. For once, it’s his role too during these eight days (of the women’s Tour de France), in particular, to be able to take care of the little one and to manage everything that needs to be managed on the side while the competition is taking place for Madame. But it’s good that there can be a family life of course.«
