Pauline Ferrand-Prévot will not start Gravel European Championships after positive covid test
CyclingSaturday, 30 September 2023 at 05:30
Pauline Ferrand-Prévot was one of the eye-catchers on the start list of the European Gravel Championships on Sunday, but the Frenchwoman will not start in Oud-Heverlee. The reigning gravel world champion has tested positive for the coronavirus.
"Nothing has really gone well since the World Cup in Les Gets," Ferrand-Prévot writes on her Instagram page. "I tried to push myself further for a good result, but last week during the Test Event for the Olympic Games in Paris I felt tired again and had no energy."
That feeling continued this week. "On Wednesday I felt sick and now it turns out that I have been hit by the coronavirus again. The plan was to participate in the European Gravel Championships, but that is not going to happen," she concluded.
Ferrand-Prévot hopes to defend her world title on gravel a week later, on Saturday, October 7, in Veneto, Italy.

- What this article doesn't mention is the influence of Vingegaards wife (25 tour), whereas Pogs gf doesn't seem to be like so, tho she is a cyclist and knows the scene. When JV won his tours his interviews where certainly not extrovert, very, 'we done the job and that's it, Pogs certainly more verbally animated and it's his personality on the cycle too. JV's had to follow the last few tours, tho if he can get calm & his wife don't pipe up then I think he can do a good ride..

ChillingCyclist10-01-2026 - I'm a big fan, and I'd really like to see him do well. But, I would also like to see him retire at the end of 2026.JoeyB10-01-2026
- Jonas has a completely different personality than Pogi. Pogi can handle the pressure on all terrains. Pogi also loves his peace and quiet. And by the way, you can have your Casio watch. I will take several of the Richard Mille watches. Pogi is charismatic and humble, and always thanks his teammates for everything they sacrifice for him. Jonas probably does the same, but is much more private. Both are great, great riders, and I can't wait for The Tour De France this year! We are going over for two weeks. Go Pogi!
