Paula Blasi Could Win Tour de France

The fifth modern women's Tour de France promises to be the most challenging edition yet, featuring nine demanding stages from Lausana to Niza from August 1-9. The 1,175-kilometer route includes 18,795 meters of elevation gain, a 21km time trial, and the iconic Mont Ventoux climb.

The 23-year-old Spanish athlete, formerly a promising middle-distance runner, duathlete, and triathlete, has only been competing in the WorldTour for a year and a half, yet many believe she has what it takes to claim victory despite her team's reservations. milkshake.it.com
