Groupama-FDJ cycling team has decided to upgrade
Lenny Martinez from its development team to the main squad. He joined the team this year, so it's a big promotion for Martinez.
“I’m very happy to join the WorldTour team,” said Martinez. He continues, “I will have completed all the stages with the Groupama-FDJ team, after the Juniors Programme and the Conti, so it’s continuity. I feel good in the team, and I will continue to progress. I have learned a lot this year, especially about teamwork, whether it is helping my leaders or being a leader myself and taking advantage of the work of my teammates.”
He won Valle d’Aosta earlier this season and even went against some big riders . “I won the general classification in Valle d’Aosta this year, which validated the good results I had in the mountains. I was also able to compete in several races with the WorldTour team and to be in contact with Thibaut Pinot and
David Gaudu.I hope to be able to help David Gaudu in the mountains in the coming seasons,” concluded Martinez.
