Ferrand-Prevot: I accept this rainbow jersey and I want to keep it for another year

Following her victory in the women's road race in Ponferrada last year, Pauline Ferrand-Prevot didn't get to fully enjoy racing in the rainbow jersey during the 2015 season, saying that she wasn't quite prepared to handle the pressure of racing as the world champion. The French star told Cyclingnews on the eve of World Championships in Richmond, however, that she would relish in a second opportunity to wear the rainbow jersey.
