Pauline Ferrand-Prévot has done it again. After dominating nearly every cycling discipline imaginable, the 33-year-old French superstar has added the Tour de France Femmes to her extraordinary list of achievements—and in her very first attempt.
Riding for Visma | Lease a Bike and supported by SEG Cycling, Pauline stormed through the 2025 Tour with commanding performances, including a legendary solo win on the Col de la Madeleine that earned her the yellow jersey. In the final stage on Sunday, she sealed her overall victory by crossing the finish line first again, underlining her dominance.
Her win is a career-defining moment in a journey that’s already filled with historic achievements. Pauline joined SEG Cycling in January 2024, with the goal of returning to the road after years of off-road focus. “Pauline is one of the best riders of all time,” said SEG Cycling co-owner Martijn Berkhout. “From the start, our role was to support her vision and create the right environment for her to pursue and ultimately realise her dreams in road cycling. We’re proud that our approach could contribute to helping her achieve this incredible success.”
Women’s cycling is only just beginning to bloom, but female riders can rely on SEG Cycling’s twenty years of experience in guiding riders. SEG has the team, the expertise and the international network to help female athletes reach the top.
In 2019, Pauline shifted her focus to mountain biking. What followed was a golden era: five world titles and, in 2024, Olympic gold at the Paris Games. But after achieving everything off-road, she returned to the tarmac with a mission—to win the Tour de France Femmes within three years. She did it in one.
Pauline’s 2025 season was electric from the start. She placed third in Strade Bianche, second in the Tour of Flanders, and then took a spectacular victory at Paris-Roubaix—her debut in the race. Each result was a signal: she was back, and she meant business.
With now 15 elite world titles, an Olympic gold medal and the Tour de France Femmes to her name, her legacy is unmatched.
