Dorian Godon (born 25 May 1996) is a French professional racing cyclist who rides for UCI WorldTeam Ineos Grenadiers.[4]
Career
After riding as a stagiaire the previous season, Godon turned professional with UCI WorldTeam Cofidis in 2017. He took his first professional win the year after, taking the prologue of the Boucles de la Mayenne.
AG2R La Mondiale
He repeated this result the year after, after having moved teams to AG2R La Mondiale. In 2019, he also entered his first Grand Tour: the Vuelta a España, where he placed third on stage six.[5] The following year, he won Paris–Camembert and again competed in the Vuelta.[6] Godon took three victories in 2021, taking the Tour du Doubs and defending his title at Paris–Camembert. In the process, he captured the overall title for the French Road Cycling Cup, and also competed in his first Tour de France.[7]
In April 2023, he took the biggest win of his career, winning the Brabantse Pijl in a two-man sprint against Ben Healy, becoming the fifth Frenchman to win in the race.[8] In October, he won another UCI ProSeries event, taking the Giro del Veneto in a six-man sprint finish.
A year later, he won his first UCI WorldTour race in a one-two finish with teammate Andrea Vendrame on stage one of the Tour de Romandie.[9] He won again on the fifth and final stage, also taking the points classification in the process.[10]
In June 2025, Godon won the road race at the French National Road Race Championships in Les Herbiers, ensuring that the national champion's jersey remained within the Decathlon–AG2R La Mondiale team following Paul Lapeira's victory the previous year.[11]
In August, he won stages two and four of the Tour Poitou-Charentes en Nouvelle-Aquitaine, finishing second overall in the general classification. Later that season, he also won the Coppa Bernocchi and the Tour de Vendée.
Ineos Grenadiers
On 26 August 2025, Godon signed a three-year contract with UCI WorldTeam Ineos Grenadiers ahead of the 2026 season, after not being retained by AG2R.[3]
In March 2026, he won stage three of Paris–Nice, a team time trial with his new teammates.[12]
