Audrey Cordon-Ragot (née Cordon; born 22 September 1989) is a French former road bicycle racer, who last rode for UCI Women's WorldTeam Human Powered Health.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

In April 2023, Cordon-Ragot resigned from the Zaaf Cycling Team due to unpaid wages, 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". The UCI subsequently allowed riders to move from Zaaf without penalty.

Cordon-Ragot subsequently joined the Human Powered Health team for the remainder of the 2023 season, racing the 2023 Paris–Roubaix Femmes in her first race for the team.
