The Sports Director, Benoit Genauzeau, holds the belief that the combination of the Belgian Peter Sagan and Anthony Turgis will be a formidable force. "This will be a strong axis of our season. They will be able to rely on a strong team for the Flandriennes, with experienced riders like Edvald, Maciej and Daniel to support them.”

The trio of riders will not only aim for victories but also help the team solidify its position in the WorldTour through amassing the necessary UCI points.“After that, we have a strong group, but the competition is tough. After that, our only ambition is to have three good seasons. We have always thought that the WorldTour was the consequence of our successful seasons, and we always take it that way,” concluded Genauzeau.
