Maëva Squiban, Célia Géry and Juliette Berthet finished inside the top-10 at the Montreal Worlds road race. Berthet reads that not as three separate rides but as one team result: "We were always together."
No medal came out of it — Demi Vollering took the rainbow jersey — but three riders inside the top-10 is the strongest showing French women's road racing has produced in recent memory. Berthet's framing points forward, not to what was missed in Montreal: the 2027 Worlds road race starts and finishes in Sallanches, on home roads, with the Côte de Domancy as the decisive climb. A team that stays together over a hard, selective course is the asset she says France now has heading into it.
