Cofidis Cycling Team has lost two of its top executives. Guillaume Martin and Axel Zingle decided to pursue their careers elsewhere.
Cofidis’ training will turn an important page at the end of the season, with two of the team’s key players heading elsewhere. team leader, Guillaume Martin will continue his season at Groupama-FDJ, where a two-year contract awaits him. The Frenchman’s best performer at the 2024 Tour de France finished 13th, so at the age of 31 there is a good chance he will face his last major challenge. An excellent climber, he has placed in the top ten at the Grande Boucle twice (2021 and 2023) and also finished 8th overall at the 2021 Vuelta a España.
The Vuelta will also be his last major race in the Cofidis jacket, which he raced for for five seasons. On the other hand, it seems unlikely that the Axel Zingle will be on the roads on the other side of the Pyrenees from August 17th. The rider, who suffered a broken nose on stage 13 of the Tour de France, will also leave Cofidis at the end of the financial year, despite finishing the race in Nice. Alsace, 25, will try his hand at venturing abroad. He will join Visma-Lease a Bike de Jonas Vingegaard and Wout Van Aert.
Teuns let us forget Zingle
Axel Zingle, who often places but rarely wins, finished 10th on stage 10 of this year’s Tour de France. He also finished second at the Franco-Belgian Circuit, Wallonia Circuit, Morbihan Grand Prix and Tour of Provence. His only success in 2024 came at the Boucles de l’Aulne. In return, Cofidis strengthened with arrival of Dylan Teuns From Israel – Premier Tech. The Belgian, who has won two stages of the Tour de France, the 2022 Arrows of Wallonia and the 2017 Tour of Poland, signed up for two training sessions at the age of 32.
