Loana Lecomte signs with the BMC team

The French rider Loana Lecomte joins the Swiss team BMC for 2025. This has been announced by both parties as one of the most important moves in the coming years. Lecomte is a regular winner in the World Cup and her signing with BMC represents a profound change in her sporting career up to now.

Loana Lecomte joins Team BMC

A few weeks ago, Loana Lecomte announced her departure from Canyon CLLCTV, the team she joined in 2022, but perhaps the most important thing was that she also announced that she was leaving behind her coach and staff since 2019. A very important change that we will see what results it brings at Team BMC.

The current French champion in XCO and XCC suffered a hard blow in 2024 when she was fighting for an Olympic medal in Paris, and a strong fall forced her to abandon the race. Lecomte's dream of stepping onto the podium at an Olympics held in her home country vanished, but she still showed that she remains one of the best cyclists in the discipline with victories in two XCO World Cup races.

We are sure that her track record and current form have earned her one of the best contracts in the category with the Swiss BMC team, and now we have to see how she adapts to her new BMC Fourstroke, with Ohlins electronic suspensions, and to the new training style that she has surely already started.

Waiting for the transfer market to close before January 11, Loana Lecomte could be the only female rider on a team that could still be led by her compatriot Jordan Sarrou.
