The Tour de France Femmes proved to be a turning point for Juliette Labous, as her remarkable performance established her as a household name in the cycling community of France.
"I think especially after the Tour de France, it is something special for French people, and I can see the wide range of people, like my neighbours, normally people who all watch the Tour de France, who thank me for the emotion the felt about the Tour de France last year," Labous told Cyclingnews.
Furthermore, she has been delivering strong performances in the spring classics and is now targeting the Amstel Gold Race as her next goal. "I like the Ardennes, and they will help me to be good in the GC races later on. The GC events are the big goals, but you have to have other goals too, so I will for sure do the one-day races with less pressure and freedom to try new things," Labous said.
She makes no secret of her goal to be a part of the Tour de France Femmes. "I was physically a bit under the podium of the Tour de France last year. I want to be on the podium this year and show that I'm physically able to and to be on the podium. I need to continue working as I have done. I have continually progressed on this team, and if I keep working like that, it will show. Keep training as I have done and stick to my goals,” concluded the Frenchwoman.
