Pauline Ferrand Prevot: “I know that this shape that I have now I will not keep forever. It's just for the Tour de France. It's also my job to be the best as possible. We know this is an endurance sport, and to climb you need to have a high watts per kilogram.“ "I don't want to stay like this, I know it's not 100% healthy. But we also had a good plan with the team's nutritionist and everything is in control. I didn't do anything extreme and I still had power left after nine days of racing. It's a tricky subject because you have to find the limit, but I also know I can't stay like this forever. It's the choice I made." "I had quite a lot of complaints on Instagram about it, people saying I was not a good example for young people. But I also think parents should educate their kids and say to them, 'Pauline is like this because she's preparing for the Tour de France, it's not forever.” “Everyone needs to understand that it's also our job to be the best as possible. I just do my job the best way I can and that's it."
