Winspace Orange Seal is pleased to announce the contract extension of Irish rider Fiona Mangan. In 2026, she will embark on her second season with the French ProTeam.

Having joined Winspace Orange Seal in 2025, Fiona quickly made her mark, proudly flying the team’s colours throughout the year. The 29-year-old rider - double national champion in both the road race and the time trial last season - has continued to demonstrate her all-round abilities at the highest level. She notably featured in a breakaway during the Tour de France Femmes and delivered a stage victory at the Volta a Portugal in July.

Team manager Jean-Christophe Barbotin describes Fiona as “a solid rider. She integrated very well into the team in 2025, and it was only natural to keep her in our 2026 lineup. Fiona is full of energy and always moving forward. With her, we know we can perform on all types of terrain — in Belgium, Portugal, and across the French races. She’s also capable of getting into breakaways at the Tour de France Femmes, as she proved last summer. It’s important for us to have a fighter, a real warrior in our ranks.”

Fiona Mangan shared her excitement about continuing with the team : “I’m really happy to be staying with Winspace Orange Seal another year. We got the opportunity to do some class races this season and we are really coming together as a team. We get the opportunity to do both WorldTour competitions and 1.1/1.2 races, that I find helps me to progress as a rider and learn how to get to the pointy end of bigger races. I’ll hopefully get a bigger classics block as I missed out this year due to injury so I’m also looking forward to that. I have loads of belief in this team and I'm excited for what’s ahead".
