[5] who currently races for

[6]
Career
She competed at the
2012 Summer Olympics in the
Women's road race , but finished over the time limit. In the
Women's time trial she finished 15th.
[7]
In 2013, Cordon won the
general classification of the five-day
Tour de Bretagne Féminin .
In October 2014, it was announced that Cordon-Ragot would join the
Wiggle–Honda team in 2015 as a
super-domestique , following her fellow
Team Hitec Products rider
Elisa Longo Borghini to the British-based squad.
[8]
In 2015 and 2016 she won the
French National Time Trial Championships .
She also competed at the
2016 Summer Olympics in
Rio de Janeiro . In the
Women's road race she finished 37th, in the
Women's time trial she finished 24th.
[7]
In 2017 she won the mountains classification jersey of the
Women's Tour .
In September 2022, Cordon-Ragot announced via
Twitter that she would not compete with the French national team at the
2022 UCI Road World Championships in Australia as expected, for health reasons; in a later press release, it was announced that Cordon-Ragot had suffered a stroke.
[9]
[10]
Having spent four seasons with the
Trek–Segafredo team, Cordon-Ragot was scheduled to join a new B&B Hotels women's team for the 2023 season.
[11] Due to financial issues, the team did not materialise and Cordon-Ragot ultimately signed a contract with the
Zaaf Cycling Team for the 2023 season.
[12]
In April 2023, Cordon-Ragot resigned from the Zaaf Cycling Team due to unpaid wages,
[13] stating "since the beginning of the year, I was not paid, nor have I been reimbursed for my travel expenses." and that she "could not continue under these conditions".
[14] The UCI subsequently allowed riders to move from Zaaf without penalty.
[15]
Cordon-Ragot subsequently joined the
Human Powered Health team for the remainder of the 2023 season,
[16] racing the
2023 Paris–Roubaix Femmes in her first race for the team.
