Overview
- Decathlon CMA CGM publicly announced the creation of a professional women's squad that will race at the UCI ProTeam level beginning in the 2027 season.
- The roster will be composed of 12 riders supported by an experienced staff that includes a sporting director, coach, assistants, mechanics, medical and performance specialists.
- The women's programme will share resources with the men's structure, notably the Decathlon CMA CGM Performance Centre in La Motte-Servolex, to speed professional setup and reduce duplicate costs.
- Company leaders framed the launch as a strategic development project aimed at scouting road, cyclo-cross and mountain‑bike talent and feeding field testing for Decathlon product design.
- The announcement was issued just before the Tour de France Femmes and could boost visibility for riders, strengthen the club’s talent pipeline, and accelerate investment in women’s cycling at the team and product level.
