St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93 have strengthened their 2026 squad with the signing of French rider India Grangier, a move the team believes will unlock the next phase of her development. At 25, Grangier already brings seven seasons of European racing to the table, along with a reputation for resilience, tactical intelligence and a growing record of results.
Grangier heads to Auber93 after two years with Team Coop-Repsol, where she continued to refine her all-round capabilities. Her 2025 season was particularly impressive, highlighted by a stage victory and second overall at the Volta a Portugal Feminina, one of her strongest multi-day performances to date. That result followed a breakthrough 2024 campaign in which she won both the overall classification and stage four of the same race. She also added a top-ten finish at the Navarra Elite Classics in 2025, underlining her consistency at 1.1 and 1.2 level.
Speaking about her move, Grangier said: “I am very happy to be joining St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93 for the 2026 season. I can’t wait to meet the whole team and start this new adventure.”
General manager Stephan Gaudry believes she arrives at exactly the right moment. “At 25, India already has very solid experience. Several years abroad, a good knowledge of the calendar, and still great potential to develop. She should take things to the next level when she joins our team in 2026.”
Grangier’s career has been one of measured progression. The Breton rider first caught wider attention in 2021 when she won the French U23 road title. Since then she has become a reliable contributor in both stage races and one-day events, competing in the Tour de France Femmes in 2022 and 2023, as well as completing multiple editions of the Vuelta a España Femenina. Her racing history across France, Scandinavia and the Iberian Peninsula has shaped her into a rider capable of handling a wide variety of terrain and conditions.
With St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93 continuing to expand its ambitions, Grangier arrives as a rider entering her prime, ready to chase results of her own while adding depth to an increasingly competitive roster. The team sees her as a natural fit for its growing programme, and the expectation is that 2026 will offer her the platform to turn strong performances into even bigger results.
