Blasi tipped for Tour de France win

The fifth modern women's Tour de France will run from August 1-9, covering 1,175 kilometers from Lausana to Niza with 18,795 meters of elevation gain. The challenging route includes nine mountainous stages, a 21km time trial, and the iconic Mont Ventoux climb. noplasticplease.life

Paula Blasi, a 23-year-old former middle-distance runner from Catalonia, has only been in WorldTour cycling for 1.5 years. Despite her potential to win, her team reportedly lacks confidence in her ability to secure victory in this most challenging edition of the women's Tour de France.
