Open Extended ReactionsCHATEL, France -- French rider Pauline Ferrand-Prévôt won the women's Tour de France in her first attempt Sunday, launching an attack to clinch the final stage and increase her overnight lead.
"After my Olympic title, I said I would try to win the Tour de France in the next three years," said the 33-year-old Ferrand-Prévôt, an Olympic champion in mountain biking at last year's Paris Games.
I just want to say thank you and congrats to them," said Ferrand-Prévôt, who rides for the Visma-Lease a Bike team.
