Magdeleine Vallieres Signs Contract Extension with EF Education-Oatly Through 2028 Olympics
Elite women’s world champion Magdeleine Vallieres will remain on the EF Education-Oatly women’s team through the next Olympic Games in 2028. The young Canadian star has been given a one-year extension to her contract, securing her place on the Women’s WorldTour for the next three seasons.
The reigning road World Champion has already announced that her 2026 campaign will begin at the Tour Down Under, marking her first appearance at the Australian stage race. It will also be the first time the rainbow jersey will be present in the peloton at this early-season event.
Vallieres now holds the longest contract deal within the WorldTour squad. Teammates noemi Rüegg and Mirre Knaven are next in line, with contracts extending through 2027.
“I learned a lot from helping others. I won the worlds because of it,” Vallieres said, reflecting on her development as a domestique over the past four seasons with EF Education.”now, I am looking forward to taking a different approach and trying to bring everything I learned to race more as a leader. I also know that I still have a lot to learn to be consistent at the top and I’m looking forward to taking this as an opportunity to continue learning in this new role and learn together with my teammates.”
She began her professional journey with a move from canada to switzerland in 2020, competing on the World Cycling Center squad. She then joined EF Education in 2022 when the squad was part of the TIBCO-SVB program. When EF Education-Cannondale established their own Continental-level squad in 2024, Vallieres was among the original riders signed.
