Francesca Hall has signed for Mayenne Monbana My Pie and will race for the French ProTeam with immediate effect, strengthening the roster to 12 riders for the 2026 season. The 30-year-old Briton said she was “very excited” to join and thanked Jean-Christophe and the wider staff for the opportunity.
Hall’s switch comes off the back of a properly sharp start to 2026 in El Salvador, where she turned early-season form into results that were hard to ignore. Racing for Roland Cogeas Cycling Team, she landed the first UCI 1.1 win of her career at the Grand Prix San Salvador, then followed it with second place at both the Grand Prix Longitudinal del Norte and the Grand Prix El Salvador, plus third on stage four of the Tour El Salvador. It was the kind of run that reads like a rider forcing a conversation.
For Mayenne Monbana My Pie, this is an early-season reinforcement with a clear logic. Hall arrives with recent evidence that she can finish races off, and that matters for a ProTeam looking to convert opportunities into tangible results rather than simply animate the early break. She’s been a threat for a number of years, a late developer who was racing for the Loughborough Lightning team until 2023, when she joined the Continental ranks with DAS-Handsling Bikes.
For Hall, it is a chance to turn a hot January into a proper European platform, with a clearer programme and the sort of structure that can help turn good form into repeatable outcomes.
The key question is how quickly Hall can carry that El Salvador momentum into deeper European fields, where control is tighter and chances are rationed. What January did show is that she is not just hanging on. She is influencing races, picking moments, and committing when it matters, which is often the difference between “strong form” and results that move a career forward.
