プロのチームとアスリートを応援

1997年のシーズン初めに、現役を引退したばかりのサイクリストであるマルク・マディオ、イヴォン・マディオが自転車への情熱から「Équipe Cycliste Française des Jeux」を結成しました。2018年はこのチームの歴史において転機を迎えた年でした。グルパマがタイトルスポンサーとなったのです。フランス スポーツ界のこの2つの大きな組織が結びついたことで、「Équipe Cycliste Groupama-FDJ」が誕生しました。強い理念と同族精神を保持しながら活動を継続するチームにとって、さらなる資金と意欲が加わったことになります。結成以来26年間に、このフランスのチームは500回以上の優勝を記録しました。そのうち、フランス国内選手権では14回の優勝、モニュメント・クラシックレースでは3回の優勝、グランツールでは38区間での首位を記録しています。

2024年からMICHE はサポーターとして、ロードバイクやタイムトライアルバイクのコンポーネントをこのチームに提供しています。

Since 2025 Miche is the technical sponsor of the Groupama - FDJ Cycling Team, supplying wheels and components from the Race Division range.

The Grip is the new elite gravel team born from a collaboration with Mattia De Marchi, strengthening the brand’s presence in the high-level international gravel scene and completing an already well-established racing commitment on the road and in mountain biking.

The Grip was created with a clear goal: to establish an official and structured presence in gravel racing, placing competition at the center while preserving the elements that make gravel a unique space—community, aesthetics, and storytelling. The Grip interprets gravel as a territory where performance and culture coexist, with racing remaining the primary driving force.

Leading The Grip will be Mattia De Marchi, a benchmark athlete on the international gravel scene, who will take on the dual role of team manager and rider. The Grip was born from a shared journey with De Marchi from the very early stages: a project developed together, step by step, starting from a shared vision of gravel racing. After committing to the Wilier project, Mattia contributed directly to shaping the team’s sporting and technical identity, becoming a foundational part of it.

Alongside him is Eddy Le Huitouze, a young and talented rider coming from the WorldTour, who has chosen gravel as the ground on which to relaunch his sporting career, bringing strong racing culture and great competitive ambition to the project.

Completing the roster is Jordy Bouts, an established athlete in international gravel racing with direct experience in the most important competitions. Bouts has chosen The Grip as the definitive step in his career, recognizing in the project the structure and vision needed to compete consistently at the highest level.
