Canadian rider Alison Jackson will bring her trademark energy, experience and strength to St Michel \u2013 Preference Home \u2013 Auber93, signing a two-year contract that will see her race with the French team through to the end of 2027<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The move marks a new chapter in the career of one of the peloton\u2019s most charismatic and successful riders. Over the past decade, Jackson has developed from a promising North American talent into a Classics winner and one of the most consistent all-rounders in women\u2019s cycling.<\/p>\n

\"WC23<\/p>\n

Jackson turned professional in 2015 with TWENTY16 p\/b SHO-AIR before moving to Bepink\u2013Cogeas and later Team TIBCO\u2013Silicon Valley Bank, where she established herself as a fast finisher with a strong sense of racecraft. Her rise through the ranks continued with Team Sunweb and then Liv Racing, before joining EF Education-TIBCO-SVB in 2023, a move that brought her to the WorldTour. She stayed within the EF structure through its rebrands as EF-Oatly-Cannondale and EF Education-Oatly, delivering some of the biggest results of her career.<\/p>\n

The defining moment came in 2023, when Jackson triumphed at Paris-Roubaix Femmes, cementing her reputation as one of the sport\u2019s toughest and most dynamic riders. She followed that landmark win with a stage victory at the 2024 Vuelta Espa\u00f1a Femenina, proving her ability to compete across terrains and formats. In addition, Jackson has claimed three Canadian road race titles (2021, 2023, 2025), an individual time trial crown, and numerous stage wins in races such as the Simac Ladies Tour, Tour of Scotland, and Gracia Orlov\u00e1.<\/p>\n

In 2025, she once again underlined her consistency, winning the Canadian national title, taking the overall victory and multiple stages at Gracia Orlov\u00e1, and finishing top five at both Paris-Roubaix and the Amstel Gold Race. Her results showcased the same aggression and flair that have made her one of the peloton\u2019s most popular figures.<\/p>\n

Joining St Michel \u2013 Preference Home \u2013 Auber93 represents both a new challenge and a chance to help guide a growing team towards greater success. Jackson said she is eager to contribute to building a strong and respected squad capable of fighting for victories in the biggest races, while also mentoring younger riders and continuing to chase major Classics goals like Roubaix and Flanders.<\/p>\n

Team CEO Stephan Gaudry called her signing a major step forward, describing Jackson as \u201can exceptional rider with an impressive record and a voice that carries weight.\u201d He said her arrival was the result of months of work and a shared desire to collaborate, adding that her experience and ambition would help drive the team\u2019s evolution as it enters its fifth professional season.<\/p>\n

With her wealth of experience, proven winning instinct and enduring passion for the sport, Alison Jackson will aim to inspire both teammates and fans as she begins this new chapter in France.<\/p>\n
