It is a story that has been written since 1997 on the roads of France and the world. A story of cohesion, sweat, overcoming oneself, mutual help and strong emotions. For 27 years, Cofidis has been a key player in world cycling. Cofidis, the longest-standing French sponsor in the group, has experienced great emotions, the euphoria of success in the most prestigious races on the calendar but also more difficult moments, specific to all the teams.
The values dear to Cofidis in terms of self-sacrifice, challenge, solidarity and sense of teamwork are shared daily by the runners and staff members. Proud of its history, Cofidis looks to the future: the group has decided to renew its commitment and extend it for the 2026, 2027 and 2028 seasons. Despite a stingy start to the season, this news strengthens the motivation and determination of the entire team to return to winning ways as soon as possible.
It is also a strong signal that aims to create stability and trust in the long term, to look to the future with serenity and ambition. Cofidis, in fact, wants that the men’s team is able to get closer to the “top 10” of the UCI World Tour ranking. At the same time, he hopes that the women’s team, which has continued to progress and grow, succeeds in becoming part of the highest level in the world, the UCI World Tour Women.
The group is also very proud to continue its historic adventure with his paracycling team and to continue to achieve many successes with this. Every effort will be made to have the adequate means to shine in a highly competitive context and thus lead this ambitious and exciting challenge.
THE VOICES
Gilles Sauret, President of the Cofidis Group: «There is a history and a strong internal bond between Cofidis and cycling that makes our teams proud. From the beginning, our values have echoed those of the sport. Following in the footsteps of our runners, cycling is a reality for many of our employees, whether commuting to work or for pleasure. You can regularly perceive the enthusiasm that the riders arouse within the group, as happened during the two stage victories experienced during the last Tour de France. By renewing our commitment, we are committed to continuing this story, which is now part of the history of our beautiful brand”
Cédric Vasseur, General Director: «I would like to warmly thank the management of Cofidis. This is excellent news for us, a great show of trust that salutes the constant professionalism of the athletes and staff members. This new test of trust allows us to look to the future with serenity and stability. It also commits us to be aware of the opportunity we are given to live from our passion, to honor our colors by bringing victories and to be proud of representing an entire group. This start to the season has not lived up to our expectations, but for me it is important to thank the whole team for their efforts in every race. I am convinced that, like this extension, the good news and successes will return soon. Having visibility through 2028 is an opportunity to build long-term, retain drivers and strengthen our team.”
