Margot's bio

Margot is the oldest of the AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step U19 squad. She turned 18 in January. The Frenchwoman from the north of the country dreams of big classics such as Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Paris-Roubaix and of a rainbow jersey.

In addition to road cycling, she is also active in cyclocross. Those short, fierce efforts that she is good at come in handy in both disciplines. At school she is in her senior year and has a special interest in geopolitics and philosophy.

“I want to make my passion my life,” she says of the sport. “I started super young because I was only five, but with a father who owns a bike shop, the step was only logical. I rode a lot with him and later with my cousin who is also a cyclist. I like competition and being the fastest. I think sprinting is super fun, but riding fast on a long, straight road is also very cool.”
