Nickname

Cece

It’s hard to pin Cédrine down. She is from France but often trains in Andorra, though she spends a lot of time traveling around Europe in her van in search of adventure (surfing in Portugal is one of her favorites). She prefers spontaneity to plans. You’re more likely to find Cédrine out on the dance floor than going to bed early. She is a dreamer, but she also takes action.

In her first year on the squad, Cédrine made an undeniable impact. She finished in an impressive eighth place at the Tour de France Femmes. After strategically moving up on the GC in the opening days, an ill-timed crash on the final stage meant the overall podium slipped out of her grasp but Cédrine continued to race with all of her heart right up to the finish line. Cédrine won the French time trial national championship, taking her first elite title. She finished in fourth place at Liège-Bastogne-Liège and on the overall classification at the Vuelta a España, narrowly missing out on the podium in both races.

Cédrine is a natural leader and is equally happy to be the team’s designated leader or to support her teammates. Her confidence and race savvy make her an ideal teammate.

Cédrine is very close with her family and loves to spend time with them. Lucky for her, they started a fan club and often travel around Europe to watch her race. Keep your eyes peeled for a group of fun-loving fans singing and dancing in yellow t-shirts.

When the day comes that Cédrine retires from cycling, look for her tending a flock of sheep somewhere deep in the mountains.
