Geoffrey Bouchard, Paul Lapeira, Oliver Naesen and Andrea Vendrame have signed contract extensions with the AG2R CITROËN team until 2025. For his part, Larry Warbasse has extended his contract by one season.
"It's the next logical step. I'm very enthusiastic about the idea of continuing to progress in the various roles that the team has entrusted me with. On the one hand, as a leader in certain events and, on the other, as a team member in the mountains for the major races on the UCI World Tour calendar," the KoM winner from Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a Espana Bouchard says.
"I'm a rider who likes stability, and the environment in which I'm evolving is perfect for me. After a period of adjustment, I've managed to find my place with the riders team and the staff, and that's what has convinced me to continue the adventure. I see myself progressing little by little and I want to continue in this direction to climb the ladder one by one. The next step is to raise my arms. And I want to get there quickly," comments the 22-year-old Lapeira.
"I'll be working more as a team member alongside our leaders, and I'm determined to continue giving my all every time I wear this hat. Of course, the classics will remain an important highlight of my season, when I'll be determined to shine. Staying loyal to the team means a lot to me. I'm looking forward to writing new pages in this great story," one of the past leaders of the team - Oliver Naesen - confirm shift in his role within the team.
"This extension is a very good thing for me. My arrival in the team changed a lot of things four years ago. I feel really good here. The aim will remain to raise my arms as much as possible, for myself, for the team and for all our partners," Vendrame says about his goals.
"I'm really happy to be continuing my story with the AG2R Citroën team. I can't wait for next year with all the new projects coming up. It's going to be a great season. I'm enjoying my role as team captain. We have a lot of young people riders and it's a great pleasure for me to pass on and share my knowledge," Warbasse concludes.
