FDJ-SUEZ has confirmed that Jade Wiel will remain with the team through to the end of the 2028 season, extending a partnership that has already spanned six years and counting. The announcement secures the long-term future of one of France’s most recognised riders and reflects a relationship that goes far beyond race results.
Wiel, now 25, turned professional with the team in 2019 – the same year she became French national road race champion at just 19 years old. That breakthrough win marked her out as a major talent, and despite facing setbacks through injury and fluctuating form, she’s remained a consistent presence in the FDJ-SUEZ setup.
“This is much more than just a team – it’s my family,” Wiel said. “I’m very proud, relieved, and happy to announce this extension. To stay for three more years with people who’ve supported me through everything means a lot.”
Trust and longevity
While Wiel’s results on the road have had their highs and lows, FDJ-SUEZ has continued to invest in her development. That trust is now formalised with a new contract running to the end of 2028, making her one of the few riders in the women’s peloton to hold such a long-term deal.
General manager Stephen Delcourt was emphatic in his support: “Since 2019, Jade and FDJ-SUEZ have shared much more than a sporting project. Her attachment to our team is deep, sincere, and powerful. Jade embodies our values, our identity, our family. I can’t imagine seeing her in another jersey.”
Delcourt described the renewal as “obvious,” highlighting Wiel’s resilience and loyalty. “Together, we will continue to write a story worthy of her talent,” he said.
Looking ahead to 10 years together
Next season will mark a full decade of collaboration between rider and team – a rare feat in modern cycling. For Wiel, that milestone reflects not just continuity, but growth.
From the elation of winning the tricolour jersey in La Haye-Fouassière to moments of self-doubt and recovery, Wiel’s time with FDJ-SUEZ has been a story of perseverance. Her role has evolved, too – now often acting as road captain or support rider in major races, she’s become one of the squad’s most reliable performers.
With the team continuing to develop young French talent and maintain a competitive presence on the Women’s WorldTour, Wiel’s long-term commitment gives both stability and experience to build around.
The new deal means that by the end of 2028, Jade Wiel will have spent a full ten seasons in FDJ-SUEZ colours – a testament to the shared values and mutual respect that underpin one of the sport’s most enduring partnerships.
