Chrono des Nations: Maeva Squiban puts in a punishing performance to finish season with victory

Maeva Squiban (UAE Team ADQ) dominated the 27.2km Chrono des Nations time trial in Les Herbiers, posting a winning time of 35:36 to cap her season with a second victory after opening with the Trofeo Marratxi‑Felanitx win. The 24‑year‑old rode the first 10.5km at an average of 46 kph, the only rider to reach that speed, before maintaining just under 46 kph on the latter half and beating the previous best by nearly 24 seconds.

Nadia Gontova (Liv AlUla Jayco) finished 23 seconds behind to take second place, while Juliette Berthet (FDQ United‑SUEZ) was third, 15 seconds further back. French time‑trial champion Célia Le Mouël rounded out the top four, 45 seconds off the leader’s pace.
