Pauline Ferrand-Prévot would have wanted to participate in the European Championships at home, but she was forced to withdraw due to some health issues. In recent days, as tuttobiciweb reported, the French federation had communicated that the Tour de France Femmes winner was dealing with symptoms of an infection, and for this reason, the technical commissioner of the French team had to modify the lineup that would compete in the continental championship.

Late last night, the Olympic champion of "fat wheels" posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed. Nothing serious, Pauline explains: "Since the fall at Strade Bianche, I have always had problems with my ankle, and today they operated on me. I am relieved to have resolved this situation. I will start rehabilitation soon. Now I have some rest ahead of me".

Then a wish of good luck to her teammates who will soon face the race in Drome Ardeche: "Go girls, you are in shape and have great team spirit. You will make us dream" and to conclude, a wish for a speedy recovery to Maeva Squiban, who is also forced to withdraw due to an illness.
