Camille Balanche has today announced she is joining the Dorval AM team for 2020 and beyond.
Balanche raced as a privateer last year in her first full World Cup season and earned 2 podiums and a second-place at Crankworx Innsbruck. She becomes the third elite woman to join the Dorval AM team alongside Monika Hrastnik and Mariana Salazar.
 | I’m super stoked to begin this new chapter of my life with the Dorval am team and Commencal bike. I have the coolest teammates and being three elite women in the same structure is going to push me a lot. It was my dream to become a pro rider so I’m just over the moon. |
It looks like Dorval are sticking with Commencal frames for another year with Fox suspension and Schwalbe tyres too. Expect a full team release in the New Year.

The Dorval am team is pointing in 4th of the UCI elite team ranking. The roster is growing every year and we are excited to start the 2020 season with a new rider and some added sponsors.
