Since 2023, Shimano has been a constant companion to the team and will remain the official technical partner for the 2025 and 2026 road cycling seasons, with a commitment from both organizations for two additional years.
Shimano will provide FDJ-SUEZ with its latest products and technologies, including its DURA-ACE Di2 wireless groupset, which will support the team’s ambitious race calendar. With the most advanced drivetrain and braking experience, FDJ-SUEZ will benefit from the DURA-ACE groupset’s fast, precise, and reliable shifting performance, providing the team with the competitive edge it needs to tackle the biggest races.
The addition of top-level cyclists to the team this year, including Demi Vollering, winner of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift in 2023, and no less than four consecutive stage victories in 2024, alongside French champion Juliette Labous, but also Elise Chabbey and Ally Wollaston, will lead to even greater ambitions and goals for the upcoming season.
The FDJ-SUEZ team achieved 13 victories in 2024, including two national titles, numerous stage wins in several general classification races, and two one-day Classics.
Stephen Delcourt, General Manager of the FDJ-SUEZ team, states: “In a period where the team has undergone significant changes in terms of sponsorship, it is crucial to preserve this incredible adventure with Shimano. This brand represents not only technical excellence but also a long-term partner with whom we have forged strong ties over the years. The extension of this partnership was a priority for us, as it reflects our shared values and our commitment to performance and innovation.”
Yuzo Shimano, Senior Executive Officer, Vice President, Bicycle and Planning Department states: “The extraordinary growth of the Women’s WorldTour has shown us what is possible in a short time. What we see today, in terms of tactical intelligence, fierce competition, and a growing global audience, represents a new era in cycling.”
