THE TEAMS GROUPAMA-FDJ FRANCE MANAGER Marc Madiot TEAM FOUNDED 1997 (La Française des Jeux) UNDER CURRENT NAME SINCE 2018 Thibaut Pinot B E R N A R D T H É V E N E T G I V E S H I S A N A LY S I S At Pinot’s service It was while watching the 2018 Tour on TV that Thibaut Pinot committed himself to doing everything possible to be competitive this year. A stage- winner in 2012 and 2015, he fi nished on the podium fi ve years ago. And he is now a much more complete rider. I won’t say that it’s this year or never for him because that remains to be seen, but this Tour’s profi le suits him very well, and the two time trials won’t be much of a problem for him. He’s a rider who can hold his own over three weeks, and thanks to Sébastien Reichenbach, David Gaudu and Stefan Küng, he’ll be very well supported.
