In TOUR 10/2014, we printed a portrait of 22-year-old Ferrand-Prévot under the headline "The new face". The article about the new star of international women's cycling appeared at just the right time: the Frenchwoman sprinted across the finish line as the winner of the road race in Ponferada, Spain. You can read the portrait of the rider from Champagne in the current issue, which you can read as a Magazine or as digital edition conveniently.
