Cofidis bring Axel Zingle to Tour de France despite rumours of imminent departure

Cofidis have defied the rumours that they would be leaving Axel Zingle at home for the Tour de France and have included the French racer in their lineup for next Saturday’s Grand Départ in Firenze, Italy.

According to L’Équipe, Zingle, 25, will be joining Visma-Lease A Bike next season, despite receiving an improved offer from Cofidis to stay with the French squad in 2025, and there were rumours that as a result of the transfer, he might not be given a spot in their Tour de France line-up.
