New beginnings for the Lapierre Gravity Collective Team

Focusing on three riders and sporting a new name, the Lapierre Enduro Team is now ready for a new season.

Focusing on three riders and sporting a new name, the Lapierre Enduro Team is now ready for a new season.

In 2025, the Lapierre Gravity Collective is placing the focus on French talent with the addition of two standout recruits: Elise Porta, the 2024 French Junior Enduro Champion, and Louis Jeandel, the 2024 French and UCI World Enduro runner-up.

They both join U21 UCI Enduro World Cup overall winner Lisandru Bertini, who has already been with the team for a while. After a complicated 2024 due to injury, the young Corsican rider will be keen to win again.

Despite being on sabbatical, Enduro legend Isabeau Courdurier will remain a wild card in this enduro team. The reigning elite UCI World Champion reserves the right to ride in a few events although her role within the team will be to accompany Elise Porta to the top of the UCI Enduro World Cup rounds in her category. 

In terms of equipment, the Lapierre Gravity Collective Team will benefit from the advantages of its Spicy CF Team. This mountain bikeoffers the possibility of adapting the suspension and kinematics (high or low pivot) to suit the UCI World Cup circuits. The riders also will have the advantage of being able to choose to ride a Mullet or a 29’ front/rear depending on their feel and preferences for the circuits.  

The Lapierre Gravity Collective Team will be concentrating on the 7 UCI Enduro World Cup rounds: 

•    May 9-11: Finale Ligure, Italy
•    May 16-18: Bielsko-Biala, Poland
•    May 31/June 1: Loudenvielle-Peyragudes, France
•    June 5-8 : Saalfelden Leogang-Salzburgerland, Austria
•    June 27-29 : Val di Fassa - Trentino, Italy
•    July 3-6 : La Thuile - Valle d'Aosta, Italy
•    August 21-31: Haute Savoie, France
•    September 5-7 : UCI Cycling World Championships – Aletsch, Valais, Switzerland.
•    Oct 23-26 : Enduro National Championships (France)
