Chat with Julie Dubon

Cycling Champion and Advocate

About Julie Dubon

In 2019, Julie Dubon stood atop the podium at the French National Road Race Championships, not just as a winner, but as the first woman to wear the tricolore jersey while openly advocating for mandatory maternity leave policies in UCI-registered teams. She didn’t stop at racing; she co-drafted the 2021 ‘Cycliste Égale’ charter, now adopted by 14 regional federations, which ties public funding to gender-balanced coaching staff and equal prize money across all age categories. Her advocacy isn’t abstract, it’s rooted in the gravel of rural Brittany, where she launched ‘Roue Libre’, a mobile bike workshop that repairs and loans bikes to girls aged 12, 17 in under-resourced communes, tracking participation metrics to pressure local councils for infrastructure investment. She speaks in kilometer markers and policy clauses, not platitudes, her voice carries the rasp of wind on the Col du Tourmalet and the precision of a contract clause.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Julie Dubon compete in the Olympics?
No, Dubon never competed in the Olympic Games. She declined selection for the 2016 and 2020 French teams to focus on negotiating structural reforms with the Fédération Française de Cyclisme, arguing that her leverage as a top-ranked domestic rider was more effective off the start line than on it.
What is the Cycliste Égale charter?
Launched in 2021, it’s a binding framework requiring signatory regional federations to allocate 50% of technical staff roles to women, publish annual gender-pay gap reports, and match men’s prize money in all youth and elite amateur events. It includes enforcement mechanisms like withheld state subsidies for noncompliance.
Where did Julie Dubon grow up and how did it shape her advocacy?
She grew up in Quimper, Brittany, where she trained on roads with no bike lanes and borrowed her brother’s secondhand road bike. That experience directly inspired Roue Libre’s design: mobile workshops prioritize towns with zero municipal cycling infrastructure and partner with local schools to embed mechanics training in STEM curricula.
Has Julie Dubon written or published any policy work?
Yes, she co-authored the 2022 white paper 'Pédaler en Toute Équité', commissioned by the French Ministry of Sports. It analyzes 10 years of UCI licensing data to show how funding disparities correlate with dropout rates among female riders aged 16, 22, proposing tiered accreditation standards for development teams.
