Elite Women's team led by Amandine Fouquenet

Amandine Fouquenet has been chosen as the leader of the Elite Women's category for France. Her experience and recent performances make her a strong candidate for success at the championships. She will be joined by Hélène Clauzél and Lauriane Durauffourg, both of whom have shown consistent results in previous competitions.

Elite Men's team without Clément Venturini

On the men's side, Romain Debord and Rémi Lelandais have been selected for the Elite Men's category. However, the absence of Clément Venturini, who has been out since February 2025, is a significant loss for the team. Venturini's absence highlights the depth of competition in the category.

The Women's Junior team includes several athletes who have shown improvement over the season. Célia Géry, for example, has made notable progress after competing in road racing. The selection includes riders from various teams, reflecting the depth of talent in French cyclocross.

Notable performances in French Cup rounds

Several athletes were highlighted for their performances in the first two rounds of the French Cup in Nommay on October 24 and 25.
