Pauline Ferrand-Prévot: Tour de France 2026 Aim

Pauline Ferrand-Prévot makes another victory in the Tour de France her priority in 2026 where she will also participate in the Tour of Flanders and Liège-Bastogne-Liège but not Paris-Roubaix, which she won last year. The 33-year-old Frenchwoman, who unveiled her program on Tuesday January 13 during the media day of her Visma-Lease a bike team in La Nucia, in the south-east of Spain, will begin her season on March 7 at the Strade Bianche in Italy before continuing with several great classics: the Tour of Flanders (April 5), the Flèche Wallonne (April 22) and Liège-Bastogne-Liège (April 26). But she will skip Paris-Roubaix, which she won to everyone’s surprise last year, and will then devote herself to the Grand Tours with first the Vuelta (May 3-10) before defending her crown on the Tour de France (August 1-9), the high point of the season.
