Pauline Ferrand-Prévot booked a yellow card and relegation for her Milano-Sanremo sprint
CyclingSunday, 23 March 2025 at 05:00
Lorena Wiebes is the first champion of long-awaited debut edition of Milano-Sanremo Women. Marianne Vos (Visma | Lease a Bike) and Noemi Rüegg (EF Education-Oatly) complete the podium of the women's La Primavera. Rüegg's incident with another Visma rider - Pauline Ferrand-Prévot will be the topic of discussions in next days.
Just as Lotte Kopecky (working for Wiebes) reeled in the late attack of Elisa Longo Borghini, the French ex-mountain biker launched her sprint in search of glory. But it quickly became clear Ferrand-Prévot lacked the turn of speed as she continued to swerve to her left-hand side. Until she came into contact with Rüegg who had been coming from behind.
Ferrand-Prévot reacted quickly and corrected her line of sprint, however the damage was done. Upon quick review, jury relegated the Frenchwoman from her inital 4th place to last (12th) place in the group and on top awarded the Visma | Lease a Bike rider her first yellow card.

- I love it when the "little guy" wins!acem8214-05-2025
- Yeah, TdF is completely overrated, only amateurs and has-beens participate. And little ole skimpy Jonas has only won it as often as Switzerland or The Netherlands or Germany and Australia combined. Prestigewise there is NO comparison until he wins either the WC again or something big coz sorry G-W is basically a 2nd rate race at their level and he’s not won much else except a decent collection of stages, which Jonas and plenty of sprinters win too. Until now, MP is about pulling level with Asgreen who also won stages and classics, was a WC and HE got himself a monument and almost as many almosts as Mads but in a career only half as long.Mistermaumau13-05-2025
- Jonas is a great rider but only rides stage races so i would have to say he & Mads are about equal now. Stage racing in general is overvalued i think... (vs the power required to win one day races)Xrider5113-05-2025
- Jonas only does stage raXrider5113-05-2025
- First goats and now great danes, all we need now is a showdown at the tour of turkey, that could maybe slide into grease. Sorry, always happens when I get tired.Mistermaumau13-05-2025
- I think this kind of thing will become quite common in future in light of the way pros have had to up their game and risk-taking. Means more precarity but also a bigger pool.Mistermaumau13-05-2025
- Its difficult to compare the two, since both are fundamentally different as cyclists. Jonas is essentially a stage racer, whereas Mads excels in classics as well as in sprint stages at GTs. At this point of time, Jonas with his two Tour wins, beating Pogacar no less, has the better credentials. If Mads wins a few monuments and some Points Jerseys, the comparison may be closer.Cooldude13-05-2025
- I thought he did quite well in that team if not for the illnesses and strings of bad luck.
KerisVroom13-05-2025 - For his sacrifice, he was rewarded with nice haircut by his team lead. It's heartwarming to see a team lead who appreciates his domestique.KerisVroom13-05-2025
- Have you gone Mads? Jeez, this is the Giro, and apart from there being other races and riders not participating, there are over 150 riders with plots and subplots, including a thing called the GC for which I doubt VERY much he’ll come into contention. Are there no other stories or topics to propose currently? Does every article have to include MP? Comparisons to Wout, to Danes, how hell fare on every single stage. Soon Pogi will start feeling like he’ll have to do some publicity stunt to become relevant again. How about updating us on how his UCI ranking is evolving with all the frenzy?Mistermaumau13-05-2025
