The 34-year-old French rider said she feels settled within the team environment. “I really love being part of this team and I feel happy and at home here,” she said in a statement. “For the first time I feel truly understood, both as a person and as a rider. I don’t see myself going anywhere else.”
Ferrand-Prévot, who returned to road racing last season after focusing on mountain biking, delivered immediate results, winning Paris-Roubaix and the Tour de France Femmes.
Her new deal keeps her with the team through a cycle that culminates in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, where she hopes to perform at her best.
She also confirmed plans to develop her time trialling in the coming seasons.
Team CEO Richard Plugge and manager Rutger Tijssen praised her ambition and influence, describing her as a rider who elevates standards across the squad.
