Swiss Side and DECATHLON CMA CGM: Accelerating into a New Era of Aerodynamic Partnership

As the Major Technical Partner, Swiss Side is proud to confirm the continuation of its partnership with the French UCI World Tour team. The end of the 2025 season marks a defining transition, as the team evolves from Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale to the DECATHLON CMA CGM Team for 2026.

This pivotal moment is a testament to shared goals: the relentless pursuit of performance, continuous innovation, and a commitment to excellence in professional cycling. The entry of CMA CGM, a global leader in shipping and logistics, replacing the longtime support of AG2R La Mondiale, heralds a new chapter aimed at cementing the team's position among the world's elite.

A Look Back at the Historic 2025 Season

The 2025 season, the final one under the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale name, was a year of exceptional performance and continued growth on the road. Swiss Side is proud to have been the technical backbone behind these key achievements:

• 26 Victories Total: The team secured 26 wins across the calendar, demonstrating strong consistency in sprints and breakaways.
• Grand Tour Stage Victory: Nicolas Prodhomme pulled off a spectacular solo win on Stage 19 of the Giro d'Italia, a defining career moment for the climber.
• Tour de France Top 5: Team leader Felix Gall delivered a stunning ride in the General Classification of the Tour de France, finishing an impressive 5th place overall.
• National Champions: The team secured the prestigious French Road Race title with Dorian Godon, and Bruno Armirail successfully defended his French Time Trial title.
• Top 10 in UCI Ranking: The team finished the year highly ranked in the UCI World Rankings, confirming its place among the top forces in the international peloton.

Swiss Side’s Role in 2026: The Technical Partnership for Maximum Performance

Swiss Side remains the steadfast Major Technical Partner and wheel sponsor, providing crucial aerodynamic expertise and support to the newly named DECATHLON CMA CGM Team. Our collaboration ensures that all three tiers (World Tour, Development, and Juniors) receive state-of-the-art technical advantages.

Working closely with DECATHLON’s cycling brand, VAN RYSEL, Swiss Side will continue to supply the cutting-edge wheel sets—for both road racing and time trials—that were instrumental in the team's 2025 success. This partnership goes beyond product supply; it involves aerodynamic optimisation, with ongoing testing and analysis in our wind tunnels to ensure maximum speed and efficiency for the entire rider-bike system, as well as performance co-creation in developing technical solutions.

The shared objective is clear: to leverage precision engineering and data-driven methods to elevate performance, support the team’s ambition to rank among the world's top five teams, and reach for victory in the biggest international competitions.
