Winspace Orange Seal is pleased to announce the signing of Justine Gegu for the 2026 season. She has been competing at the amateur level and recently secured the bronze medal at the French National Championships in that category.

Alongside her results on the national calendar, the 26-year-old rider has also impressed on the UCI circuit this year, finishing 6th at the Région Pays de la Loire Tour and 10th at the Classique Morbihan.

Justine Gegu is the first confirmed new addition to WOS’s 2026 roster. She becomes the second rider officially signed for next season, joining Karolina Perekitko, who recently extended her contract with the team.

Justine Gegu : “I’m really excited to join Winspace Orange Seal for the 2026 season and to take my first steps in the professional peloton. After several intense and formative years in the French Nationale 1, I’m really excited to take on this new challenge and keep progressing at the highest level. I want to thank Team Elles for all these wonderful years that helped me grow both as an athlete and as a person. A new adventure begins in 2026—I can’t wait to discover this new world, contribute to the team’s goals, and fight for this new jersey with heart and the drive to always give my best.”

Jean-Christophe Barbotin, General Manager of WOS : “We’re signing a French rider who’s incredibly dedicated to the team. Beyond her strong character and values, I’m confident she’ll take a big step forward with us on the sporting side. Signing Justine is also a way to correct something that felt off — she truly deserves this promotion."
