A major new partnership is set to propel CM Aubervilliers 93’s women’s team to greater heights, as Preference Home joins as co-title sponsor starting January 2025. The sponsorship deal will see the women’s team racing under the new banner of St Michel – Preference Home – Auber93, with an ambitious application to join the UCI Women’s Pro Team division already in motion. The new sponsor has signed up for 2 years to begin with, covering the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
The team, comprising a mix of experienced and young international talents, aims to make an impact in 2025, and the new backing will provide the financial support to expand their horizons. General Manager Stéphane Javalet expressed his excitement: “It is a pleasure to welcome Preference Home to our project. Their support, along with that of St Michel and our other partners, allows us to aim even higher for the women’s team as we pursue the newly created UCI division.”
Francis Godon, President of Preference Home, echoed these sentiments: “Cycling is not just a sport; it is a school of life. By co-sponsoring this club, we support essential values such as perseverance and teamwork, while also investing in the future of our youth.”
The 2025 women’s squad features riders from a variety of backgrounds and nationalities, each bringing their own strengths to the team.
