As the 2025 Tour de France Femmes has fallen, Jelenew proudly marked the moment with the Pre-Tour Ride in Brittany, a dedicated initiative to amplify visibility, support, and momentum for women’s cycling at all levels.
Held on July 23, the event brought together Jelenew ride leader, rising athletes, and cycling enthusiasts for a purposeful 80km ride from Vannes to Plumelec, tracing the opening stage of this year’s Tour. The route was chosen not only for its significance to the official race, but for what it symbolized:
A new generation of women owning their place in the sport.
Organized by Audrey Cordon-Ragot and Marion Clignet, co-founder of Jelenew, the ride was a natural expression of Jelenew’s founding mission, to build a brand where performance and progress go hand in hand. With Jelenew ride leaders including Pascale Jeuland, Marine Cordon, and others riding alongside participants aged 12 to 45, the event was a clear reflection of Jelenew’s commitment to supporting women through every stage of their cycling journey from first races to elite competition.
For Marion Clignet, this gathering marked the beginning of something much bigger: “We inspired every participant, and I’m certain they’ll all find their place in Jelenew.”
The 12-year-old riders, dreaming of pro careers, represent the "new start" at the heart of this event — a testament to how passion, community, and the right support can turn aspirations into tangible goals.
