It stirs emotion the enthusiasm with which Pauline Ferrand Prevot posted on Instagram the photo showing her training with Tadej Pogacar. It evokes emotion because the queen of Tour de France Femmes writes: "I had many reasons to smile this morning. Back on the bike and I shared part of my ride with those beautiful people who are Urska Zygart and Tadej Pogacar. Listening to Tadej's post-Tour advice was stimulating. And of course, I had to ask for a photo..."
It stirs emotion to see how an athlete who has won everything still gets excited: an Olympic gold, 12 world titles and three European championships just to start the list... And who this year, upon her return to road racing, has already won the Paris-Roubaix and the Tour de France Femmes, which were her major objectives.
She could be satisfied with probably being the strongest cyclist ever, and yet at 33 years old she still has so much desire to amaze and be amazed. And to rejoice over a photo taken during training with Tadej Pogacar.
Oh, don't forget: Pauline is not done surprising us this season...
