After eight years spent at the highest global level of women's Cycling, the two entities are ending their collaboration at the end of 2024. This decision comes as the Lapierre brand is working on a new strategy for the near future.
Lapierre is proud to have supported women's cycling and accompanied the growth of the French FDJ-SUEZ team led by Stephen Delcourt towards the summits of world road cycling since 2017.
The numerous victories of FDJ SUEZ riders in the biggest races on the women's UCI World Tour calendar since 2017 have proven Lapierre's commitment to offering the best bikes and contributing to the reputation of women's cycling.
The track record acquired since 2017 is simply impressive: stage winner on the three grand tours (France, Spain, Italy) including the most notable on the 3rd stage of the Tour de France Femmes 2022 thanks to Cécilie Uttrup Ludwig. Lapierre and FDJ SUEZ also shone in the biggest Flandrian classics with victories in La Flèche Wallonne, Liège Bastogne Liège, and the Amstel Gold Race, without forgetting more than 10 national titles (France, Denmark, Sweden, Australia, Italy… ) on the road and in a time trial.
The 2024 season was the year of consecration with the historic triple, Australian champion, Paris 2024 Olympic champion and 2024 world champion of the Australian Grace Brown in the time trial. Lapierre would like to thank Stephen Delcourt and his entire team for their seriousness, commitment and professionalism during these eight years of partnership.
