St Michel–Preference Home–Auber93: Seven Riders, One Team at the Start of the Tour de France Femmes
They are French, American, Canadian, or Spanish. Some are already familiar with the world’s biggest races, while others are experiencing the Tour de France Femmes for the first time. Seven different backgrounds united by the same jersey and the same goal: to put St Michel–Preference Home–Auber93 front and center in the race.
Meet the seven riders competing in the Tour de France Femmes with Zwift 2026.
Alison Jackson — Experience in Major Races
It’s impossible to introduce this team without highlighting Alison Jackson.
The 37-year-old Canadian has considerable experience at the highest level and, above all, a victory that perfectly sums up her spirit: the 2023 Paris–Roubaix Women’s Race.
A race she won by attacking, after spending much of the day at the front.
Her role, therefore, goes beyond simply individual results. In a group that combines experienced riders and young professionals, Jackson brings her experience from the Classics and Grand Tours, as well as a culture of aggressive racing.
Émilie Morier — Consistency
At 29, Émilie Morier is one of the team’s cornerstones.
Having transitioned from triathlon to road cycling, the French rider finished 25th in the 2025 Tour de France Femmes, including a 12th-place finish on the final stage.
In 2026, she reached a new milestone with a3rd-place finish at the French Road Championships and another third-place finish at the Grand Prix du Morbihan.
In this Tour, she demonstrated her consistency right from the start: 19th, 32nd, 22nd, 51st in the time trial, and then 25th
Solène Muller — The New Generation
At just 22 years old, Solène Muller is competing in her first Tour de France Femmes.
The French rider, however, arrives with some impressive results under her belt: 4th in the 2026 Grand Prix du Morbihan, 8th in the French Road Championships, and also 8th in the time trial.
As early as her third day on the Tour, she made her presence known: on the Col de la Savine, she crossed the summit in third place, behind Sigrid Haugset and Puck Pieterse.
A first week that illustrates what this team is all about: giving young riders the opportunity to compete at the highest level in the world
Alicia González — Spanish Experience
At 31, Alicia González also brings her experience to the team.
Accustomed to demanding races and closely contested finishes, the Spaniard notably finished 3rd at the Ronde de Mouscron this season and 5th in a stage of the Tour of Catalonia.
She brings an experienced profile to St Michel–Preference Home–Auber93, capable of both playing her part within the team and seizing an opportunity when the race scenario allows
India Grangier — A Taste for the Offensive
India Grangier, 26, already has several notable results to her name, including the overall victory at the 2024 Tour of Portugal, along with a stage win.
In 2026, she joined St Michel–Preference Home–Auber93 and lined up at the start of the Tour alongside her six teammates.
Unfortunately, her race came to an end during the fifth stage, between Mâcon and Belleville-en-Beaujolais, where she was forced to withdraw.
Heidi Franz — The American Experience
At 31, Heidi Franz has an international careerspanning both North America and European roads.
The American has achieved several successes throughout her career, including the Egmont Cycling Race in 2023 and a stage of the Tour of Portugal in 2025.
In a Grand Tour, this experience is invaluable: nine days of racing require not only the ability to manage one’s own effort but also the ability to support and protect the team.
Caroline Wreszin — The American All-Rounder
The second American on the roster, 25-year-old Caroline Wreszin, is also experiencing the demands of the Tour for the first time.
Sixth in the 2026 U.S. Time Trial Championshipsand 13th in the road race, she brings a versatile profile and the ability to excel in solo efforts.
On the Tour, she puts her strengths to work for the team in a squad where roles shift daily depending on the terrain and the race scenario.
Seven Individuals, One Team
Émilie Morier, Heidi Franz, Alicia González, India Grangier, Alison Jackson, Solène Muller, and Caroline Wreszin: four nationalities, several generations, and seven different career paths.
It is precisely this diversity that defines St Michel–Preference Home–Auber93 at the 2026 Tour.
Individual ambitions exist, but in a nine-stage race, no performance is achieved in isolation. Positioning, feeding, protection, chasing, or breaking away: a team’s true strength is also revealed in everything the standings don’t show.
Mavic, the team’s technical partner
To support these different riding styles, the riders are equipped with, among other things, the Mavic COMETE 50 and COSMIC SLR 45.
Two carbon wheels with different characteristics but designed with the same goal in mind: to provide riders with the efficiency, precision, and responsiveness needed when the pace of the peloton picks up.
Equipment developed for performance, put to the test here in its most demanding environment: racing at the highest level.
