Morier on the route's difficulty

During the official presentation of the 2027 route, Morier, who leads the St Michel - Preference Home - Auber93 team, described the course as "much punchier than last year." This indicates that the route will include more challenging climbs and varied terrain, requiring greater physical and tactical preparation.

Morier's unfamiliarity with Puy-de-Dôme

Morier admitted she was unfamiliar with the Puy-de-Dôme region, stating, "I didn't know it at all. It's all black, I have the impression it's a parallel world." This suggests that the area's terrain and conditions may present unexpected challenges for her and other riders.

Preparation and focus emphasized

Morier emphasized the need for thorough preparation, noting that the 2027 race would be "much more complicated than last year." She highlighted the importance of being "well positioned and remain focused at 100%," indicating that strategy and mental strength will be crucial in such a demanding race.

Morier's hopes for the race

She expressed hope for a "beautiful battle until the end" and that each rider would have the opportunity to "do their best to go for victory or a place in the general classification." Morier also mentioned that the race would end with an ascent, stating that riders would "leave our last bullet there" and that the effort would "make a successful spectacle."
