On Instagram, the 28-year-old fullage in an extensive post now elaborates on the matter and defends her views in clear terms. “Now that I have had a few days to put things in perspective, here is my personal opinion on the subject of ‘weight’,” Vollering begins her story.
“After the Tour, about 80% of the questions I received during the closing press conference about my weight. Whether I was planning to lose more. Or that the way would be the Tour de France again. Or if that was the key to future performance. I understand it, this is sport. People are enthusiastic and have always taken into account.

Fulling wants to warn a younger generation of cyclists, it clearly sounds in her argument. “So why am I sharing this now? Because young girls keep an eye on us.

Or do not even realize that it is becoming harmful. ”
Fulling adds. “That is why we – as top athletes, teams and sport – have a responsibility. We have to create a safe environment where athletes can ask questions, speak openly and get the right guidance, especially young and emerging riders. Because the risk is real. Because health is not always visible.”
