Pauline Ferrand-Prevot will leave INEOS and sign with Visma Lease a Bike in 2025

After confirming a few days ago that she will leave mountain biking after the Paris Olympics, WielerFlits now reports that Pauline Ferrand-Prévot will leave INEOS at the end of this season and will join the Visma-Lease a Bike team for 2025.

Pauline Ferrand-Prévot leaves INEOS and will join Visma in 2025

For years, Pauline has had the idea of returning to road cycling, where she was already World Champion in 2014, but a few weeks ago she confirmed that this transition would happen in 2025 after achieving everything in mountain biking.

Many of us thought that this change could be accompanied by the creation of a women's road team in her current team, INEOS Grenadiers. Since it is the only one of the big teams that still does not have a women's division. But it will not be the case.

The Dutch media WielerFlits has just reported that Pauline Ferrand-Prévot has already finalized her signing for 2025 with the Visma-Lease a Bike team. There she would have the opportunity to return to the World Tour alongside her former road team-mate, Marianne Vos, and with the young promise Fem van Empel, with whom she could combine cyclocross and road racing.

Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that Visma has also ventured into mountain biking with the arrival of Milan Vader to the team a few seasons ago, so we could even see Pauline competing in some isolated races of the discipline that has brought her the most success in her career.

In any case, for now Pauline remains 100% focused on the Paris Olympics where she aims to achieve the only victory missing in XCO, the Olympic gold medal.
