Morier aims for better performance in 2027

Émilie Morier, a cyclist from the St Michel - Preference Home - Auber93 team, is looking forward to the 2027 Tour de France Femmes with Zwift. She hopes to improve on her 19th-place finish and third position among French riders from the previous year.

Route expected to be more challenging

Morier described the 2027 route as "much punchier" compared to 2026, with "quite a few difficulties" ahead. This suggests the course will include more hills and technical sections, making it harder for riders to maintain high speeds.

Focus on preparation and avoiding distractions

She emphasized the importance of focused preparation and avoiding distractions, stating that the event will be "much more complicated" than the previous year. This indicates that the race will require greater physical and mental effort from participants.

Morier unfamiliar with Puy-de-Dôme

Morier admitted she was unfamiliar with the Puy-de-Dôme region, describing it as "a whole other world." This suggests that the new route may include areas she has not previously raced in, which could present both challenges and opportunities.

Final climb expected to be crucial

She mentioned the final climb would be a crucial moment in the race, noting that fatigue would contribute to an exciting spectacle. This highlights the importance of endurance and strategy in the final stages of the event.
