Decathlon plans to raise its team budget from 30 to 40 million for 2026, enhancing its project to secure future victories at the Tour de France. The Lille-based brand acquired the French WorldTour team previously held by AG2R La Mondiale, following their withdrawal from sponsorship. Team manager Dominique Serieys is restructuring the team with an international roster and potentially adding a women's team by 2027. The team is also involved in the One Cycling project to modernise professional cycling and boost revenue.
Decathlon will increase their team budget from 30 to 40 million for 2026 as they work to become one of the sports' super teams and create a long-term project to help generational talent Paul Seixas target victory at the Tour de France in the years to come.
Team manager Dominique Serieys has shaken up the team after taking over from Vincent Lavenu in 2024, with expectations for at least ten new riders signed for 2026.
Serieys confirmed Decathlon agrees in principle with the One Cycling project to modernise the sport and create new revenue streams for the team.
Decathlon could also create a women's team for 2027, indicating strong strategic long-term plans in professional cycling.
