DECATHLON and VAN RYSEL strengthen their commitment alongside AG2R LA MONDIALE for the 2025 season
Building on a historic 2024 season with 30 victories, DECATHLON, the naming sponsor since last year, and AG2R LA MONDIALE, the team’s historic partner, will continue to join forces for the 2025 season. Grounded in shared values of solidarity and proximity, this collaboration, alongside the commitment of VAN RYSEL, the team’s main equipment partner, will be further enhanced by several innovations.
Dominique Serieys, CEO of DECATHLON AG2R LA MONDIALE Team:
“I am incredibly excited as we approach the 2025 season. The team’s success is built on strong partnerships: DECATHLON and AG2R LA MONDIALE are more than headline partners, they are true key supporters that share our vision and values. Similarly, VAN RYSEL and Skoda are committed to our pursuit of performance. I am proud to rely on longstanding partners and welcome new ones who trust us and fully engage in this collaboration. Their support enables us to strengthen our three teams and build competitive rosters for the future.”

Innovation for performance
With one of the most comprehensive product catalogs on the market, DECATHLON has made a strategic shift in recent years by developing a constantly evolving sportswear line through innovative collaborations. This success with customers has naturally led the brand to expand its partnership by providing essential daily gear: shoes, technical clothing (excluding bibs and jerseys), luggage, and other indispensable accessories.
A partnership extending beyond the riders
DECATHLON is proud to support not only the riders but also the entire staff: sports directors, assistants, physiotherapists, team managers, and more. Aware of the crucial role these individuals play in the team’s overall performance, the brand is committed to providing high-quality products perfectly suited to their needs.
This expanded partnership reflects the shared ambition of DECATHLON and the team: to push the limits both on and off the roads.
