Where that money will be invested is still a relative mystery, as the team carries no ambitions to join the World Tour for the coming year and it lacks a squad of big hitters who can battle for races in the first division of the sport.

Among the riders rumoured to be of interest for the French team are the likes of Mark Cavendish, Dylan Teuns, Michael Matthews and Alexis Vuillermoz who are all without contract for the coming year and could strengthen the core of the team.
