As the Tour de France approaches, emulation is felt on the side of cycling enthusiasts and there is one in particular who must be under pressure since she will be leading to live her first Tour de France Women as a director. In effect, Marion Rousse was appointed to this post last year and the France Télévisions consultant will therefore have to combine her multiple roles and we wish her a lot of courage! Became the mother of the adorable little Nino last June, the companion of Julian Alaphilippe was invited on the set of C to you last night to discuss this new role that awaits him.
This is the first time in history that the Women’s Tour de France will take place and for Marion Rousse, who has long been a great hope of French cycling, this lack in her career has always been present. “To explain to you the aura of the Tour de France, to explain to you that it is a race that is apart, when you pass in the street, when someone stops you, when you start talking, when you are asked your profession and you say that you are a professional cyclist, the first question that comes up: ‘Oh, but if you’re a cyclist, have you done the Tour de France?’ Me, suddenly, I did not feel legitimate, because the Tour de France did not exist for us “says the beautiful blonde of 30 years.
All the little girls who will be in front of their television will be able to dream of doing the women’s Tour de France one day
Disappointed that the competition did not exist before, Marion Rousse ensures that she “would have done it with pleasure”. An error that will now be repaired since this year will mark the first women’s Tour de France. “I’m happy, I’m proud to be in this position, to know that all the little girls who will be in front of their television will be able to dream of doing the women’s Tour de France one day”she concludes.
A lack finally filled for Marion Rousse, who would have dreamed of being able to participate in the competition when she was a cyclist. Having become director of the Tour de France Women, the mother hen will be able to follow this beautiful development in the world of women’s sport as closely as possible.
