Kim Le Court (born 23 March 1996) is a Mauritian professional racing cyclist,[3] who currently rides for UCI Women's WorldTeam AG Insurance–Soudal.[4] Born to a Mauritian father and a Scottish mother,[5] Le Court represented Mauritius at the 2019 African Games in cycling, winning two medals: gold in the women's cross-country marathon and the bronze in the women's cross-country Olympic event.[6] Le Court has won the Mauritius road race national championships four times in 2016, 2019, 2024 and 2025, and won the time trial national championship twice in 2024 and 2025.[7]
In 2024, Le Court signed with AG Insurance–Soudal, reportedly after contacting every UCI Women's World Tour team asking for an opportunity.[8] Later that year, she won stage 8 at the Giro d'Italia Women, her first stage win at the UCI Women's World Tour. In 2025, Le Court won her first major win at Liège–Bastogne–Liège Femmes, winning in a sprint finish of 4 breakaway riders.[9]
