I aim to bring in top-tier results for the team and elevate our collective performance.”
This transition marks a crucial phase in Guilman’s career, just as it serves as a landmark moment for her new team. Her addition brings a desirable blend of seasoned nous and competitive drive to St Michel – Mavic – Auber93, a squad already flush with budding talent. Guilman won the Grand Prix de Chambéry this season, whilst also taking a number of strong results in the Coupe de France races like at La Périgord Ladies.
