Juliette Labous will no longer ride for dsm-firmenich PostNL next season. The 25-year-old rider is moving to FDJ - SUEZ, where the current French champion has signed a three-year contract.

"I am very happy and proud to join the team in 2025," says Labous in a press communication. "FDJ - Suez is a team that is making progress. They can offer me the best possible environment. I am motivated to make the team shine, so I am looking forward to starting this new adventure. It is a new chapter in my career."

At FDJ - SUEZ they are of course also very happy with the arrival of Labous. General Manager Stephen Delcourt gives more explanation: "We welcome Juliette with pride. French champion and top-5 in the last two editions of the Tours de France; Juliette is a remarkable athlete and, undeniably, one of the best climbers in the professional peloton."

It's not only at the French Grand tour where Labous is successful, as evidenced this year by her fourth place at Vuelta a Espana Femenina and fifth at Giro d'Italia Women, where she finished runner-up last year. Adding to her already impressive skill set, the French lady is also a remarkable time trialist with top-5 finishes at last year's World Championships and this year's Olympic Games.
