Former French champion on the road in 2012 and now turned to the profession of consultant for France Televisions, Marion Rousse has been appointed director of this Tour de France women. “When I was a little girl, I watched the Tour de France on TV with admiration and when I started my career, I suspected that I was never going to have the opportunity to race it. We want to do the maximum for little girls to dream of taking part in. Women’s cycling has evolved a lot in recent years, partly thanks to ASO (owned, like L’Équipe, by the Amaury group), but it lacked a benchmark stage race with a real media resonance. Now that I have accepted this mission, I intend to invest myself so that it enters the hearts of the public and for a long time, because it is not a question of launching for two or three editions” explained the former cyclist.
