A 16th women’s team is joining the MPCC. The French team Team Grand Est – Komugi – La Fabrique, through its manager Laurent Goglione, has applied for membership. He said: “We can only imagine the cycling of tomorrow and the still nascent women’s cycling as a clean sport.

Team Grand Est – Komugi – La Fabrique, a structure created in 2018 initially at the amateur level, entered the UCI continental level in 2023. The team is made up of fifteen riders, including five Frenchwomen, among them Perrine Clauzel, one of the world’s best specialists in the cyclo-cross discipline. Seven nationalities from four different continents are represented in this very international team.

“We want to adopt and respect the MPCC regulations in order to defend clean cycling with them, based in particular on the notions of transparency, responsibility and mobilisation of our managers, staff and riders”, says Laurent Goglione, team manager. “We can only imagine the cycling of tomorrow and the still nascent women’s cycling as a clean sport, transparent in its approaches and attitudes, focused on sporting performance, in a legal and respectful manner.”
