Team Abadie-Magnan have confirmed the return of Chloé Charpentier for the 2026 season, reuniting with a rider who has been woven into the very history and identity of the team. Charpentier developed through the structure’s amateur ranks at N2 and N1 level before stepping into the professional side of the project, and remains the only rider ever to take a professional victory for the team, thanks to her stage win at the Tour de Feminin in 2023.
Her homecoming marks a significant moment for the squad, which made the announcement with clear emotion and pride. General Manager Laurent Goglione underlined what her return represents, stating: “Having Chloé back with us is like seeing a part of our DNA come home. She is a sprinter, a fighter, a perfectionist – a rider who has always pushed her limits. She will be determined to show she can compete with the very best.”
Charpentier brings with her not only that landmark career victory but also a string of strong results from her previous seasons, including fourth overall at Gracia Orlová, sixth at La Picto-Charentaise, and fifth at the Tour de Feminin during a standout 2023 campaign. Those performances highlighted both her consistency and her capacity to perform across multi-day races and demanding French one-day events.
Across her career, she has represented a number of French development-focused squads, including VC Morteau-Montbenoît Féminin, Macadam’s Cowboys & Girls, and the Grand Est structures, most recently racing in 2025 with Team ELLES-Vertou-Rayo Nantes. Now, at a key stage in her progression, she returns to familiar surroundings where she first found her stride.
For Team Abadie-Magnan, her signing strengthens their sprinting options for 2026 and brings a rider whose values and racing style align closely with the team’s identity. For Charpentier, the move represents a symbolic and competitive reset, offering the platform to chase bigger results in the colours where she once made her breakthrough.
A rider returning home, a team reconnecting with its roots – and a new chapter now ready to begin.
