Pauline Ferrand-Prévot has arrived in Kigali and has been previewing the city circuit, getting to know all of its intricacies, including the cobbled climb of the Côte de Kimihurura. It is her final preparation to win another rainbow jersey, to add to her collection of 15 world titles, this time in the elite women's road race on Saturday at the 2025 UCI Road World Championships in Rwanda.

Speaking to select media from the Kim Hotel, located just a few hundred metres from the racing circuit's final climb, the Frenchwoman said she is recovered from her stunning yellow-jersey victory at the Tour de France in early August, and is fully prepared to fight for the rainbow jersey, too, in Kigali.
