Numéro 31.

It takes two to make a new gravel team! For 2025 we’re allying ourselves with two of the best French racers out there: Axelle Dubau-Prévôt and Hugo Drechou. Together, they are Numéro 31 par Café du Cycliste, and they’re hoping to bring our distinctive French style and joie de vivre to the podiums of the top gravel races around the world.

They’re targeting around 25 races in 2025, from the Life Time Grand Prix in the US to the Gravel Earth Series in Europe and the UCI Gravel World Series races in France, culminating in the Gravel World Championships in our hometown of Nice!

Read on for news on their race programme and interviews with both Axelle and Hugo… Thanks for joining us guys!
