MPE ProTeam x Nova Ride

We are particularly proud to announce our commitment to an ambitious new sports project: the creation of the French women's ProTeam, Ma Petite Entreprise.

We are 100% powered up and fully behind this collective. Driven by the strength of French entrepreneurship and the immense potential of these riders from their very first season, we have chosen to become a key technical partner for the team over the next two seasons.

Our mission? To propel the team in their quest for performance by optimizing their drivetrain, thanks to our high-precision ceramic bearing components.

Drivetrain Optimization

After discussing their specific needs based on bike types and riding conditions, this is where our expertise as a technical partner really comes into play. We divided the equipment into two distinct setups:

For flat or rolling stages: Pairing CCD EVO S derailleur cages and CBB ceramic bottom brackets to deliver the best balance of friction reduction and performance gains on their Factor Monza.

For mountain stages: Pairing Pulley Wheels EVO with CBB ceramic bottom brackets to prioritize the weight-to-performance ratio of our upgrades, where every single gram counts on their Factor O2 VAM.

The goal with this ceramic bearing component combo is simple: to enable riders to expend less effort to maintain the same speed, or to go faster at the same power output. In short: saved watts or saved time.

Chaque seconde compte. Chaque détails compte.

MAGNIFIQUE !

At 25, Célia Le Mouël has won the French Time Trial Championship title!

The rider took the win in Isère ahead of Maëva Squiban (11 seconds) and Cédrine Kerbaol (24 seconds). Congratulations, it is highly deserved!

Heading for the 2026 Women's TDF!

This summer, we will be passionately following the riders on the roads of the Tour de France Femmes! Their exemplary teamwork, rigorous hard work, and continuous progress throughout the season promise a fantastic spectacle.

Best of luck to all the riders and the support staff. The whole Nova Ride team and community are right behind you!
