Marion Rousse is preparing to leave her colleagues from the Tour de France as well as the peloton to set sail for Brittany where the big female loop will be given.
The Tour de France is already coming to an end. And if the winner of the winner has little doubt, a consequence of the ultra-domination of Tadej Pogacar, many uncertainties still remain, at the forefront of the identity of the one who will accompany the Slovenian and his main rival, Jonas Vingegaard, on the podium of the Tour or the name of the green jersey as well as that of the polka dot jersey.
However, Marion Rousse is about to leave the big loop. The 19the Step disputed this Friday between Albertville and the beach with on the program the Col des Saisies, the Col du Pré and the climb to La Plagne will be the last that the former French champion will comment alongside Alexandre Pasteur or Laurent Jalabert.
As soon as the stage ended, it will indeed cross France to go to Vannes from which the Tour de France women will start, with a first step which will rally Plumelec and the famous Côte de Cadoudal. Marion Rousse will then swap her consultant cap for this racing director and the next ten promises to be particularly intense for the partner of Julian Alaphilippe.
By his own admission, the pressure is indeed much stronger in the cost director’s costume than in that of a consultant. “It implies so many things, you are responsible for the ordeal and you are so afraid that there is something going on that I am quite concentrated during the whole stage”, She told La Tête’s microphone in the handlebars.
