Biography of pro cyclist Juliette Berthet
Juliette Berthet is one of the most consistent stage-race riders in the women's peloton, the kind of rider who quietly accumulates strong general-classification finishes at the hardest races on the calendar. For FDJ United-SUEZ she is both a protected GC leader and a pillar of the squad's biggest ambitions.
Long known to fans by her maiden name, Labous, she has built a career on climbing strength, time-trialling and the durability required to perform across a full week of racing.
Early life and rise in France
Born in 1998, Berthet emerged from the French development system and quickly established herself as one of the country's brightest stage-race talents. She showed her against-the-clock ability early, taking the French National Time Trial Championship in 2020.
From there she became a fixture in the general classifications of the biggest women's stage races, steadily climbing the standings at events like the Giro d'Italia Donne and the Tour de France Femmes as the sport entered its modern boom.
National title and signature results
Berthet's headline achievements reflect her range. She won the French National Road Race title in 2024, adding the most prestigious one-day prize in her home country to her earlier time-trial crown. In stage racing she has taken the overall at the Vuelta a Burgos Feminas and a stage at the Giro d'Italia Donne, results that mark her as a genuine GC contender capable of winning on the road as well as placing high overall.
Rider profile: strengths and style
Berthet is a stage-race specialist built around climbing and time-trialling. She is not a pure climber who drops rivals on the steepest slopes, nor a flat sprinter; her strength is consistency, limiting her losses on the hardest days and gaining time against the clock. That balanced profile makes her ideally suited to general classifications, where steadiness across varied terrain is rewarded over a single explosive effort.
Personal life
In October 2025 she married fellow professional cyclist Clément Berthet, and from the 2026 season she has raced under her married name. She remains one of the most respected riders in the French peloton and a central figure in the FDJ United-SUEZ project.
