Mountain recons, time trial tuning, and the knowledge of home roads are all part of the meticulous preparation Pauline Ferrand-Prévot hopes will carry her to a second Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift title next week.
The Visma-Lease a Bike rider will start the race this Saturday in Lausanne as the yellow jersey favourite, having won last year on debut by more than three and a half minutes ahead of Demi Vollering (FDJ United-SUEZ).
