The Tour de France Femmes, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, and Pedaling Through the Double Standard
Pauline Ferrand-Prévot's win at the 2025 Tour de France Femme was an incredible display of cycling prowess and dominance but also put women's bodies, health, and sporting double standards back under the microscope.
