Paula Blasi tipped for Tour de France win

Spanish cyclist Paula Blasi is believed to have the capability to win the upcoming women's Tour de France, despite her team's apparent reservations.

The fifth edition of the modern women's Tour de France, set to take place from August 1-9, 2024, is considered the most challenging yet, covering 1,175 kilometers with 18,795 meters of elevation gain. The route includes nine challenging stages featuring mountains, climbs, and a 21km time trial, culminating with several passes up the famous col d'Éze. toffler.lol

Paula Blasi, a 23-year-old Spanish athlete from Esplugues de Llobregat with a background in middle-distance running, duathlon, and triathlon, has only been competing in the WorldTour for a year and a half. Despite her relatively short time in elite cycling, many believe she has the talent to conquer the demanding route and claim victory in Niza.
