After more than successful integration of Christophe Laporte into their structure three years ago, Team Visma | Lease a Bike scouts are once again on the hunt in French World Tour formation Cofidis.
The latest subject of Dutch super team's attention appears to be the 25-year-old Axel Zingle. The Frenchman, just like Laporte, is a versatile rider who is home on short hills as well as cobbles, which combines nicely with Zingle's great final kick.
Leading the French team in UCI points hunt, Zingle was one of the top scorers in 2023 with over 1200 points racked up throughout the season, highlighting Classic Loire Atlantique (1.1) victory.
This year, Zingle picked up where he left off, scoring no less than 8 podiums before finally going on to win his first race of the season in a reduced sprint at Boucles de l'Aulne (1.1).
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Frenchman is already in advanced talks with the Visma | Lease a Bike, after Cofids freed him to look for contract elsewhere beyond this year.
