Although the likes of Luca Mozzato and Jérémy Lecroq positively surprised during the Tour de France, the French squad will be aiming higher in the coming season.
With the entry of Carrefour as a title sponsor for the coming year it is estimated that the team will have a budget between 15 and 20 million euros - a number superior to that of several current World Tour teams.
The team will remain at Pro Team level, but with an almost certain participation at the Tour de France and French calendar, aswell as the increased budget, it has become an attractive hotspot for riders out of contract for the coming year. With Bol set to leave
Team DSM and Cavendish confirmed to be on his way out of
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl Team, both may find common ground next year.
