Career
At the 2024 French Junior National Championships road race, Gery and her breakaway companion Amandine Muller were hit by a team car 31 km from the finish. Despite the crash, Gery won the race by over 3 minutes.[4][5] In June 2024, Gery signed with FDJ–Suez through the 2026 season.[6]
In 2026, Gery won her first pro race by winning Brabantse Piji in a group sprint.[7] In June, Gery won 1st in stage 7 of the Giro d'Italia Women, outsprinting Lucinda Brand for the stage win.[8]
At the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, Gery rode in support of team leader Demi Vollering, as well as frequently attacking in breakaways.[9] On stage 6, she was awarded the combativity prize, finishing fifth in a small group.[10] On Stage 8, when Vollering attacked and took the race lead from Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney, Niewiadoma-Phinney accused Gery of intentionally blocking her during a key climb. Gery received abuse and death threats on social media following the incident.[11]
