Cofidis extends sponsorship of cycling team until 2028 bringing partnership to over 30 years

One of the most regularly seen sights in the peloton over the last few decades are the red shirts of the French-based team, Cofidis. Present in the peloton since all the way back in 1997, the team and sponsor have now extended terms until 2028
“There is a history and a strong internal attachment between Cofidis and cycling which makes our teams proud. Since the beginning, our values have echoed those of this sport," said a delighted Gilles Sauret, President of Cofidis Group. "We can regularly perceive the enthusiasm that the riders arouse within the group, as was the case during the two stage victories experienced during the last Tour de France. By renewing our commitment, we are keen to continue this story which is now part of the history of our beautiful brand."
Although Cofidis are still waiting for their first win in 2024, the likes of Guillaume Martin, Ion Izagirre, Gorka Izagirre and Bryan Coquard among others continue to prove threats on the World Tour and the levels below.
“I would like to warmly thank the management of Cofidis. This is fantastic news for us, a great demonstration of confidence which salutes the constant professionalism of the riders and members of the staff. This new proof of confidence allows us to look to the future with serenity and stability. It also encourages us to be aware of the opportunity given to us to live from our passion, to honour our colours by bringing victories and to be proud to represent an entire group," adds Cédric Vasseur, general manager of the team. "This start to the season has not lived up to our expectations but it is important to me to thank the entire team for their commitment to each of the races. I am convinced that, like this extension, the good news and successes will quickly return. Having visibility until 2028 is an opportunity to build in the long term, retain riders and strengthen our team.”

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024

- A bit much to suggest that Pogacar is better than MvdP on most terrains. The only terrain Pogacar is clearly better is long climbs, on any other terrain they are pretty even except flat cobbles and short and steep climbs (max a few 100 mtrs) where MvdP is clearly better than Pogacar.Velovibes21-12-2024

- That’s the most stupid thing I’ve read for a long time, did you not go to school and learn even the most basic physics? Aero depends on one thing only, drag, drag depends speed and the relationship is squared and apart from maybe at zero or the speed of sound or due to side winds that relationship is valid at all speeds, it dies not “suddenly” start at a magic number. Very simply, the faster you go the more the effect becomes important. If you think 25km/h is needed to have noticeable effects you’re delusional, athletic WR are cancelled as soon as winds top 2m/s that’s 7.2km/h, why because the assistance is already too important at that speed and the times prove it. You don’t even consider wind which can significantly increase the effective speed for aerodynamics and you underestimate speed of climbs, 6% is ridden more at 30 than 25km/h, a speed at which early generation high rims were considered to have more advantages than disadvantages. And finally, as in normal races you can’t just switch bikes according to terrain, it’s pretty pointless to discuss climbs as a separate situation, the aero will have justified itself plenty during the rest of the ride.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
