Orbea and CERATIZIT, racing forward at the Tour de France Femmes

The Tour de France Femmes has already covered its first kilometers. At this stage, the pulse of the peloton beats strongly. Stage by stage, women’s cycling continues to prove it needs no justification: it is spectacle, ambition, and pure competitive essence.

Amid this vibrant scene, the CERATIZIT team once again soars through France on Orbea bikes, carrying with them a story of genuine commitment to women’s cycling.

Women have always had their rightful place as protagonists in Orbea’s history. Over our more than eight decades of experience, women have formed an essential part of our team. We’ve supported the growth of women’s cycling in the way we know best: developing bikes for those who feel a passion for competition. Always with one clear conviction: women’s cycling doesn’t need permission to grow, it just needs space and support.

This year, at the Tour de France Femmes, one design stands out above the rest: the bikes of Kristýna Burlová, Czech national champion. Her Orbea Orca and Orca Aero pay tribute to her national title. A visual declaration of identity and a celebration of the effort behind every victory. Every color on her bike speaks of pride, perseverance, and the future.

The seven riders representing CERATIZIT in this Tour de France—Kristýna, Franziska, Sarah, Dilyxine, Célia, Daniek, and Elena—are a symbol of the spirit of a generation that pushes doors open without waiting for them to be unlocked.
The partnership between Orbea and the German team now marks its eighth year. A bond built on shared values, it’s much more than a technical agreement: it’s a way of being present in the cycling world, now and in the future.

The Tour de France Femmes keeps moving forward. It continues to grow in significance, visibility, and athletic level. It is proof that women’s cycling hasn’t just arrived to naturally take its place, it’s here to transform the sport.
These riders don’t adapt to the mold: they expand the space itself, driven by pride, perseverance, and the unshakable certainty that the road belongs to them too.
Orbea remains part of that journey. It always has.
