Continuing the ambitious recruitment drive unveiled in recent weeks, FDJ-SUEZ today announced the signing of Eglantine Rayer for the next 2 seasons.
A recent stage winner in the Tour de l’Avenir Femmes 2024, Eglantine Rayer (20) is a cyclist whose precocious talent and fighting spirit have already made an impression on observers of French cycling. A promising puncheuse-climber, Eglantine was very recently a key cog in Juliette Labous’s victory at the 2024 French Route Championships, on home soil in Normandy.
Multiple French time trial and road champion in the youth categories, as well as European Junior time trial champion in 2022, the future FDJ-SUEZ resident has demonstrated significant progress on all types of course.
Eglantine represents the kind of cyclist every team wants to have in its ranks: a sense of racing and sacrifice for its leaders, an inexhaustible willingness to learn from the best, and plenty of room for improvement. She will be an undeniable asset for the coming seasons. We’re delighted to add her talent to our ranks, and to do everything we can to help her progress in the professional peloton.

I’m delighted to soon be joining this new family and writing a new chapter in my career with the FDJ Suez team. My goal is to reach a new level in the years to come, and I chose this team to progress and rediscover the pleasure of cycling, which is what got me started in the first place. I firmly believe that FDJ Suez has the necessary resources to accompany young talents like me to the highest level. It’s a team that’s been expanding rapidly over the last few years, and it’s a fantastic opportunity to be able to join it at this pivotal moment in my career. I can’t wait to begin my adventure in this new environment, with the finest team in France.
