Groupama - FDJ to welcome a former Paris-Roubaix Espoirs vice-champion
CyclingMonday, 12 August 2024 at 04:00
Groupama - FDJ seem to be looking at possibilities to recover some of the classics strength they're likely to lose with the rumoured departure of spring revelation Laurence Pithie.
It looks as though the French WorldTour formation took interest in Johan Jacobs. After having spent five years with Movistar, this would be the first time in his professional career Jacobs would change colours. Gazzetta dello Sport brings the transfer as a nearly done deal for 2025.
Despite his attackive racing style, the cobbled classics specialist is still waiting for his breakthrough result in the top category. The former cyclocross rider has not managed to confirm his potential at Movistar, having notably finished 2nd in Paris-Roubaix Espoirs in 2019, but is undoubtedly hoping to relaunch himself at Groupama - FDJ, joining compatriot Stefan Küng in the classics formation.

- That's right, Giannetti said that Almeida and Ayuso asked to go to the 2024 TdF. They told them that Tadej was the only captain then if they went, they would be domestiques. Both accepted. Almeida kept his word, but Ayuso was a traitor. As soon as he realized he couldn't play his game , hiding at the back of the peloto, watching his classification, he got "COVID" (in summer, at 40 °C), leaving his team with a man less.
