Axelle Dubau-Prévot signs with EF
EF Education-Oatly announced on Monday that the team has signed gravel star Axelle Dubau-Prévot "to race a combined road and gravel calendar."
The French gravel champ enjoyed a career year in 2025, delivering big wins and consistency too. According to her new team, her gravel goals for 2026 include defending her national title and returning to The Traka, where she took runner-up honors in the 360 km event last year. In the short term, Dubau-Prévot said she aims to be "a strong teammate" on the road, but she also expressed an interest in racing the Tour de France Femmes at some point.
"When I heard a few years ago that the Tour was coming back, I was out of the cycling world and I felt a bit sad to think that I would never take part in it," she said. "I’m French and if someone asks me what I do and I say I’m a cyclist, they immediately ask if I race the Tour de France. It’s the reference. Now after watching the race and seeing that EF Education-Oatly really wants to do something big at the Tour, I would love to make the Tour squad one year."
