The 30-year-old
Paul Ourselin also comes on a one-year contract. The French rider spent the last eight seasons with
TotalEnergies, but is still waiting for his first professional victory. During his time with the ProTeam Ourselin proved himself as a reliable teammate and that'll be his role in
Cofidis too.
"I am very happy to join
Cofidis, which is a historic French team. I want to discover the UCI World Tour and races that I don't know yet. Being part of the Cofidis team is a great progression in my career. After eight seasons as a professional, I am starting to get a good idea of my abilities. I enjoy stage races and where I express myself best is in a teammate role to support our leaders and sprinters. Afterwards, I remain a competitor and I will do everything to seize opportunities if they arise. I would like to thank Cédric Vasseur for trusting me and reaching out to me."
