Loana Lecomte, born on August 8, 1999, in Annecy, France, has always felt at home in the mountains.
Long before she became a world-class athlete, she found inspiration in nature—connecting with the rhythm of the outdoors. That same quiet passion now fuels her journey on two wheels. With quiet determination and remarkable consistency, she climbed the ranks of the international XC scene—securing multiple national titles, 11 Elite World Cup wins, and earning a silver medal at the 2023 World Championships. In 2025, she begins a new chapter with BMC Factory Racing. Here, ambition meets precision: equipped with the cutting-edge BMC Fourstroke R 01 and supported by experienced teammates like Jordan Sarrou and Titouan Carod, Loana embraces both renewal and challenge. Guided by experience and driven by quiet resolve, she sets her sights on the long road ahead—poised to write the next pages of her journey, with Los Angeles 2028 firmly in her sights.
