France's women's road team set to race at World Championships in Montreal

With Pauline Ferrand-Prévot not entering, France's women's road team for the world championships in Montreal is anchored by 20-year-old national champion Célia Gery, who will ride as team leader. Coach Paul Brousse selected a squad that features punch-type rider Juliette Berthet, as well as Marie Le Net, Léa Curinier, Evita Muzic, Cédrine Kerbaol and Maëva Squiban. The roster draws from FDJ United-Suez, EF Education-Oatly and UAE Team L’Imad.

The race will be streamed with live commentary on leparisien.fr and televised from mid-afternoon on HBO Max, France 3 and Eurosport 1, with a later broadcast on France 4. This marks the French team's effort to contend despite the absence of Ferrand-Prévot.
