Lieselot Decroix, new Co-Director of Performance

FDJ-SUEZ will welcome Lieselot Decroix from 01 November, new Director of Performance alongside Flavien Soenen.

The arrival of Lieselot Decroix in the FDJ-SUEZ team as Director of Performance will mark a significant milestone for the team. Lieselot, a former international cyclist who competed at the Beijing Olympic Games and holds a doctorate, is respected and admired in the world of professional cycling.

After successfully juggling her sporting and academic career, she decided to put her expertise to the benefit of coaching within the JVW team (Jumbo Visma Women).

‘Lieselot has this rich duality between the experience of high-level competition and a scientific approach, based on his exemplary academic background. We are convinced that his vision and skills will help solidify our positioning, aiming for more innovation and performance in our future projects. ‘

Stephen Delcourt – General manager FDJ-SUEZ

By leaving Jumbo Visma Women in November after three dedicated years, Lieselot herself shared her thoughts and enthusiasm for this new challenge:

“I am pleased and proud to announce that I will join FDJ-SUEZ as Director of Performance for 2024 and beyond. I feel connected to their vision, ambition and passion and am extremely motivated to contribute to the team’s future success.”

The team as a whole looks forward to working alongside Lieselot and co-constructing the future of FDJ-SUEZ, integrating its valuable expertise. The next steps look promising, and the team is ready to welcome them with enthusiasm and determination.
