At the U23 Women's European Cyclo-cross Championships in Zeddam, Netherlands, Célia Géry secured her second continental title, outperforming her compatriots Lison Desprez and Amandine Muller. Géry, already a world and European champion in the junior category, dominated the race solo with a nine-second lead over Desprez. This achievement caps off a successful road season for her, with wins at the Flèche Brabançonne, Grand Prix de Chambéry, a stage at the Tour d'Italie, and the French national championship.
Following her victory, Géry announced she will take a break to undergo surgery on her iliac artery, a necessary decision to address ongoing issues with her leg. Despite this injury, she maintained a strong performance throughout the 2026 season, demonstrating her determination and ability to overcome obstacles.
