Paul Lapeira

"It's a renewal that came about naturally, leaving no room for doubt".

"It's a renewal that came about naturally, leaving no room for doubt. I did all my training within the team's network, and with a fine progression under my belt, it encouraged me to continue in the same vein. I'm delighted to be extending my contract for a further two years, until 2027, which will bring my total years with the team to six by the end of the contract. It's starting to make quite a story. I think I'm in the right place to continue to progress over the next three years and bring the team the best possible results. I'm confident in the future of training, and the vision of the project to 2028 brings serenity. I'd like to thank our partners, AG2R La Mondiale, who have supported us for many years, as well as Decathlon more recently, and Van Rysel, who provide us with state-of-the-art equipment."
