Amandine Fouquenet joins AG Insurance - Soudal WorldTour team in collaboration with Pauwels Sauzen - Altez Industriebouw

AG Insurance - Soudal is pleased to announce the arrival of Amandine Fouquenet to its WorldTour team for the upcoming road period, starting with the Bretagne Ladies Tour this Friday.

The French rider, who is racing during the cyclocross season for Pauwels Sauzen - Altez Industriebouw, will join AG Insurance - Soudal for the road campaign.  This builds on the shared vision between both structures in developing riders across disciplines.

Known for her strong team mentality and fighting spirit, Fouquenet will strengthen the WorldTeam across the coming months as she continues to combine cyclocross and road racing at the highest level.

Amandine Fouquenet said: I’m truly excited and very happy to be part of such a great team. I’m someone who really values team spirit, and I already know that this team will suit me perfectly, especially because of that shared mindset.

I’m looking forward to support the girls as much as I can during the races, helping the team achieve its goals, and when the opportunity comes, also taking my own chances and hopefully raising my arms in the air on the road one day.  I’d like to thank the team for their trust, and I can’t wait to pin on my first race number in these new colours.”

AG Insurance - Soudal CEO Jurgen Foré welcomed the collaboration and the arrival of the French rider: “We are very happy to welcome Amandine to AG Insurance - Soudal. She is a rider with a great mentality, a strong work ethic, and someone who perfectly fits the values and culture of our team.

A strong example of cross-disciplinary athlete support is found in the collaboration with Pauwels Sauzen - Altez Industriebouw, offroad team led by Jurgen Mettepenningen.

“This collaboration between AG Insurance - Soudal and Pauwels Sauzen - Altez Industriebouw is a major asset in the further development of Amandine Fouquenet and Leonie Bentveld across both road cycling and cyclocross disciplines. I am convinced that this coming winter we will reap the benefits of this collaboration,” concluded Pauwels Sauzen - Altez Industriebouw CEO Jurgen Mettepenningen about the collaboration.

Amandine will already strengthen our roster this Friday at the Bretagne Ladies Tour, and we are looking forward to seeing her grow within our WorldTour environment over the coming months.”
