"That journalist dreams and fantasizes" - Marc Madiot slams 'embarrassing' rumours regarding Groupama-FDJ's interest in Cian Uijtdebroeks

With Cian Uijtdebroeks rumoured to be on his way out of BORA - hansgrohe after a disagreement with his teammate Aleksandr Vlasov, reports in France have suggested Groupama - FDJ are very keen.
The boss of the French-based team however has now emphatically denied these links and in the process, slammed the journalist who first reported the Uijtdebroeks to Groupama - FDJ links. "That journalist dreams and fantasizes. It is embarrassing for the riders, his team and also for us that someone sends such a rumor into the world," Madiot tells Cyclism'Actu.
According to Daniel Benson of GCN, rather than Groupama - FDJ, it is in fact Lidl-Trek and the INEOS Grenadiers who lead the charge for the Belgian starlet's signature with Madiot completely shutting down his own links. "Uijtdebroeks will not sign with Groupama-FDJ."

- Nonsense Mistermaumau. Tom has noticeably more character and personality than Mathieu. Look at the photograph with this article - when was the last time you saw Mathieu crack a smile like that?RupertBear17-12-2024
- Get over yourself! Tom is fine, he's quite a character in his way - he's got a great sense of humour for a start. Watch him and Matt Stephens do one of their cafe rides, they're both a hoot. I don't mind Mathieu, but he's a bit of a cold fish in case you haven't noticed. You guys make me laugh, you get a unique rider like Tom appears on the scene and all you can do is bitch! By the way Senna, your use of a comma and then the lack of a space between words is usually an indicator of ASD. Now I'm being bitchy!RupertBear17-12-2024
- Whining isn’t a good look, Lance. Oh and doping or not, the GOAT is still Eddy Merckx imho - lance couldn’t t even come close when you compare resultsCrashjames16-12-2024
- * not taking anything away from the tireless sacrifices wout has made as a superstar. those are two extraordinary individuals.OCexile16-12-2024
- sadly true. mathieu is the bedrock AD was built on, and he’s always shouldered that role and always seen the bigger picture: took MUCH less money than he could have gotten while the team was growing, and has written them new book on what it means to be a completely selfless superstar, witness every ferocious leadout for jasper and what he did at MSR last year. yup, so far that’s not thomas.OCexile16-12-2024
