The director of the Tour de France and consultant for France Télévisions did not hesitate, while she was a runner, to pose for sexy photos.
At 34, Marion Rousse has already had several lives. Consequence of the end of her running career at just 24 years old, three years after being crowned champion of France. An early stop motivated by long days, she juggling between training, her beginnings as a television consultant and her part-time job as the mayor of Etampes.
Since then, the Northerner has become one of the voices that count on television, forming with Laurent Jalabert and Alexandre Pasteur the trio of star commentators at France Télévisions, and more recently the director of the women’s Tour de France, which made its big return to the women’s calendar in 2021.
Pauline Ferrand-Prévot as Marion Rousse
But this jack of all trades was also a hostess of the Tour de France for three years and could undoubtedly have tried her hand at modeling. While she was still a runner, the 2012 French champion caused a sensation by posing on several occasions for photos intended for sexy calendars for Cyclepassion, notably in 2012 and 2015.
Marion Rousse is not the only cyclist to have posed for her sexy calendars. The Dutch Anneke Beerten, the German Naime Diesner and the French Myriam Nicole also gave of themselves.
But the same was also true in 2012 of Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, then only 19 years old, who had also been in the spotlight in GQ for a slideshow “The athletic bombs”.
