With a risk of being relegated from the WorldTour for the next three seasons, the Cofidis team have parted ways with General Manager Cédric Vasseur, announcing his departure on Monday.
Raphaël Jeune, who spent two years as a pro in the early 2000s and was a sports marketing manager at Look Cycle International, has been appointed to take Vasseur’s place.
However, the team has struggled over the past three seasons, dropping from 15th in 2023 to 20th last season and 21st this year for 20th overall. They are fighting for their WorldTour survival, 1,300 points behind 18th-placed Intermarché-Wanty in the three-year rankings that determine which teams will be eligible for the 2026-2028 WorldTour.
