It has been far from a calm week for
Groupama - FDJ, the revelation of their leaders for the
Tour de France was highly dramatic as Arnaud Démare has been taken out, and will leave the team as was revealed in further comments.
Thibaut Pinot however seems to have secured his spot, and he is content.
"I'm obviously very happy and very happy to do my last Tour de France. I think that with the form I had when I left the Giro and the form I still have fifteen days later, it would have been really frustrating for me not to be part of this team," the Frenchman told L'Équipe.
