Pauline Ferrand Prevot and Julien Absalon split up

It is not usual in the world of cycling and mountain biking for the personal lives of cyclists to be news, but in this case it seems relevant because of the professional and sporting relationship between the two involved. In addition to the fact that they themselves have just made it public. Julien Absalon and Pauline Ferrand Prevot have announced that they are ending their personal relationship but that nothing will change in the team.

Pauline Ferrand Prevot and Julien Absalon split up

In 2018, the personal relationship between double Olympic champion Julien Absalon and current European champion Pauline Ferrand Prevot became public, something that did not interfere with their sporting careers and did not seem to have an impact when Pauline signed for BMC Absolute Absalon in 2020, the team that Julien himself has managed since the end of his career.

Now, after Pauline Ferrand Prevot ended her season prematurely due to the fatigue accumulated throughout the year, both have just made a statement on their social networks confirming that they have put an end to their life together as a couple, but that nothing will change in their sporting and professional relationship.

So explained Julien Absalon:

"I am a discreet person, I never post private things on my networks, but it seemed important to Pauline and me to put an end to the rumours and clarify our personal situation. We have decided to end our life together but we get along very well, we are not angry, we will just live differently and continue to work together. Next year we will continue hand in hand to go out and get some victories."

And this is Pauline's publication about it:

"Everything is fine, life goes its own way and sometimes we take different paths. After six beautiful years, we have decided to turn a new page in my private life with Julien. We're neither angry nor upset.... That's life! That's why we will continue to work together and to take advantage of our common passion. I wish us both the best. Always united."
