Amandine Muller will join FDJ United-Suez from 2027 after signing a three-year contract with the French WorldTour team through the end of 2029.
The 19-year-old moves across from the AG Insurance-Soudal development programme and gives FDJ United-Suez another rider capable of racing across several disciplines. Muller has combined road racing with cyclocross, mountain biking and gravel through the early part of her career, with that versatility central to the team’s decision to sign her.
“I’m very happy and proud to be joining the team for the next three seasons,” Muller said in the announcement. “I can’t wait to start this new adventure.”
Muller has developed across road and cyclocross
Muller joined the AG Insurance-Soudal development set-up for 2025 and has continued to build her road programme alongside a strong winter cyclocross calendar. ProCyclingUK included her in the AG Insurance-Soudal Development Team’s 2025 line-up, where the emphasis was already on giving her space to develop across different types of racing.
Her 2026 season has underlined that range. Muller finished fifth in the under-23 cyclocross World Championships in Hulst and third in the French elite cyclocross championships, while on the road she placed sixth overall at the Bretagne Ladies Tour and finished fifth in the French time trial.
She also finished 14th in the under-23 time trial at the World Championships in Montréal and 25th in the road race, adding more international experience before the move to the WorldTour.
FDJ United-Suez continue to build around multi-discipline riders
Muller’s signing fits the direction FDJ United-Suez have taken with a growing group of riders who compete beyond the road season. The team have placed more emphasis on cyclocross and off-road racing, with that experience increasingly treated as part of rider development rather than something separate from the road programme.
Stephen Delcourt said the signing reflects the team’s aim to make racing across disciplines a strength, with FDJ United-Suez looking to give Muller the resources to continue developing without narrowing her focus too early.
That should suit a rider who has already shown useful results across very different formats. Muller was French junior mountain bike champion in 2023 and has continued to mix that technical background with the endurance demands of road racing and cyclocross.
For FDJ United-Suez, the three-year deal gives the team time to develop her rather than expecting an immediate WorldTour breakthrough. Muller will turn 20 later this month and still has room to establish which disciplines and race types will become the strongest part of her programme.
The move will be added to ProCyclingUK’s women’s cycling transfers hub as the 2027 roster continues to take shape.
