French cyclist Aude Biannic says she rode cobbled classic Paris-Roubaix while unknowingly pregnant
French cyclist Aude Biannic has revealed that she was pregnant without knowing while riding cobbled classic Paris-Roubaix in 2024. Biannic, who races for Movistar Team did not take a test before the cobbled classics, Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix — despite noting her period was late — as she wanted to concentrate on the famous one-day races. Advertisement '(Paris-Roubaix) is a race that I really like. I couldn't have raced it knowing that I was pregnant,' the Movistar rider told French outlet L'Equipe this week, having originally announced it on the team's website last year. 'I continued to train for months, but without intensity, just to have fun and clear my mind. I put off stopping my riding as long as possible…the night before I gave birth, I was even wondering if I wasn't going to go for a little ride. 'I don't know whether it was the high level of cycling that meant I had far less nausea and complications than a normal person. I continued to train for months on end, but not intensively, just to enjoy myself and clear my head.' Biannic eventually stepped away from cycling in August last year and gave birth to a son, Noah, in November, before returning to competition in May. She is currently competing in the Tour de France Femmes, which ends on Sunday after nine days of racing through the country. She is the only mother in the peloton and spoke in 2024 via Movistar that she enjoyed a very calm pregnancy, but this week expanded on her experience. 'Once or twice, I had contractions while cycling,' Biannic said. 'I wasn't very reassured. In terms of medical follow-up, both with my gynecologist and within my team, I was a bit of a guinea pig for everything. I didn't get much advice, other than to trust my feelings.' The Frenchwoman has been with her team since its inception in 2018, the only Movistar rider to have done so. Movistar's Marlen Reusser abandoned this year's Tour after the first stage after suffering with a stomach bug. ()
