Pauline Ferrand-Prevot: Ineos star hypes up Paris 2024 mountain bike bid - 'I can be really good at D-Day'

Pauline Ferrand-Prevot is stepping up her hunt for the one major title that eludes her: Olympic gold. The French star became the first woman to sign for Ineos Grenadiers ahead of the 2023 season in a bid to boost her prospects for Paris 2024. She has won 10 rainbow jerseys throughout a stellar career across mountain bike, road, cyclo-cross and gravel – and will target victory at the Games on home soil next summer on her trusted MTB.

Ad Ferrand-Prevot, speaking at Warner Bros. Discovery's start-of-season cycling launch event, said: “The Olympic title is the only one missing. So for sure I really want to have a gold medal.

It's also why I chose to go to the new team. Mountain Bike'It's not only about one rider… but maybe 10!' — Ferrand-Prevot on 'exciting' MTB battlesAN HOUR AGO “I know I have two years to be the best athlete and to improve again in a few things. It’s the main goal of my career, so I'm already working on it to be better.” Ferrand-Prevot has won four cross-country world titles – the only MTB discipline in the Olympics – and also boasts two marathon wins.

She won three rainbow jerseys in just seven weeks last season – two on the mountain bike in Les Gets, France, plus victory at the inaugural Gravel World Championships in Veneto, Italy. “Last year with the win in Les Gets, it was a big thing for me because it was in front of my own crowd and it should be the same in Paris next year,” she continued. “I also proved to myself that I can be really good at D-Day, and I can put everything together to be the best for one and a half hours.
