so rad! here's the translation via google

The name of the first Olympic flame bearer has been revealed 🔥 🙏 Anne Caroline Chausson, cyclist with more than 19 world titles, including in mountain biking, will fly the colors of Vaucluse, at the Sommet du Ventoux. As a reminder, the Olympic flame will pass through seven towns in Vaucluse on June 19.

What irony that most of those world titles were in a sport the Olympics does not even include, DH.

I don't want to piss on anyone's chips, especially not Anne-Caro's, but...

She's not the first torch bearer, just the first to be named, says it right there in the post.

It doesn't actually go up mont Ventoux until mid June, a whole month into the relay around France.

It doesn't appear to be mentioned, but she was the first female BMX Olympic gold medalist when it was introduced in 2008.  ACC is such a legend!

Too good.

Great to get recognition from your nation like this. Shows the respect cycling earns in Europe.

It's the announcement of the Vaucluse region, she's the first person they've named as a torchbearer as the flame traverses that region.
