All-in for stage wins - Cofidis ready to explode Tour de France with candidates for every terrain

Cofidis is a team with a lot of history at the Tour de France and although currently it does not have the same status it's had in the past, it will be aiming to add more stage wins. In 2023 they won several stages and after a year of drought, they can achieve it once again in 2025.

Bryan Coquard will be the team's option for the sprint stages, specially those with a few climbs during the day where the pure specialists can be dropped. Damien Touzé and Alexis Renard will be his leadout men, although Renard's second place at the recent Copenhagen Sprint means the Frenchman may get his own opportunity in the pure bunch sprints.

Alex Aranburu also packs a punch and he may have the opportunity to sprint throughout the race, although this would be on difficult hilly days - the Basque rider will likely focus on breakaways, with several suiting stages. Dylan Teuns and Benjamin Thomas will also be aiming for the hilly days where they can potentially win again in a Grand Tour.

In the mountains Cofidis will have Ion Izagirre, a two-time stage winner in the race and also Emanuel Buchmann who recently finished 11th at the Criterium du Dauphiné, showing his best form in quite a while.
