Obut partners with the Ma Petite Entreprise cycling team for the 2026 Tour de France Femmes
Obut is becoming the conviviality partner of the professional women's cycling team Ma Petite Entreprise. This partnership brings together two French organizations driven by the same values: solidarity, inclusivity, pushing boundaries and the joy of bringing people together. An adventure that will truly come to life on the roads of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, where cycling, pétanque and conviviality will meet close to the public.
A team proudly championing women’s cycling
Ma Petite Entreprise is a professional cycling team founded in 2024. Competing at ProTeam level, the second-highest tier of international cycling, the women’s team is supported by a network of small and medium-sized businesses committed to the project.
The team is made up of 10 professional riders, including 9 French cyclists and 1 Swiss rider, backed by an experienced staff led by Vincent Lavenu. Founder and manager of the AG2R La Mondiale team for more than 30 years, he now brings all his expertise to this ambitious new project.
An already exceptional 2026 season
This year marks an important milestone in the history of Ma Petite Entreprise.
The team first claimed its maiden victory at the Tour du Limousin before securing its very first entry into the Tour de France Femmes. A major achievement just two years after the team's creation.
Célia Le Mouel, 2026 French time trial champion
Another outstanding achievement: Célia Le Mouel claimed the title of 2026 French time trial champion. She will now proudly wear the prestigious French national champion’s jersey on roads in France and around the world.
A shared vision of sport
By becoming the conviviality partner of Ma Petite Entreprise, Obut is joining a project that reflects its own values. A sport that brings people together, creates connections and puts conviviality at the heart of every encounter. This partnership also echoes Obut's own history. More than 70 years ago, long before manufacturing pétanque boules, the Souvignet family produced steel tubes for bicycles.
Creations that tell a story
This partnership is also an opportunity to bring bespoke creations to life. Through sporting and event projects, Obut puts its expertise into creating unique pieces that become lasting reminders of shared moments and emotions.
A partnership that showcases women’s sport and French expertise
Supporting Ma Petite Entreprise also means shining a spotlight on women’s sport and introducing the public to outstanding champions, just like the athletes of Team Obut.
This partnership also reflects shared values: French craftsmanship, local success and the strength of teamwork, enabling both Obut and Ma Petite Entreprise to grow their ambitions and promote their respective sports.
See you in the Fan Zones of the Tour de France Femmes
As part of this partnership, Obut will join Ma Petite Entreprise at several stages of the Tour de France Femmes, including in the Fan Zones open to the public. A great opportunity to share a passion for sport in a warm and friendly atmosphere. While waiting for the champions to ride by, visitors of all ages will be able to enjoy a pétanque court, have fun and make the most of the event.
Whether you're a cycling enthusiast, a pétanque fan or simply looking to enjoy a memorable moment together, we'll see you on the roads of the Tour.
