Vincent Lavenu, General Manager of the AG2R LA MONDIALE cycling team, announced the names of the first seven riders who have been selected to take part in the 2019 Tour de France.

  • Romain Bardet
  • Mikaël Cherel
  • Benoit Cosnefroy
  • Mathias Frank
  • Tony Gallopin
  • Pierre Latour
  • Oliver Naesen

The eighth rider will be named after the National Championships on June 30th.

Vincent Lavenu: “We must live up to the expectations of the public, the media, and partners who like to see the French teams shine. In the recent past, we have been able to demonstrate our ability to play a leading role at the Grande Boucle with 3 podiums, a victory in the team standings, a white jersey, multiple stage wins and many exciting attacks. We have built a strong, motivated and dynamic team around our leader, Romain Bardet.
We will approach the Tour de France with humility in view of the scope of the event, but also with ambition, and the seriousness to be able to influence the race at all times. We hope to have more success than in 2018. Last year, after only a few days, we lost 3 riders who were forced to abandon due to injuries.”

André RENAUDIN, General Manager of AG2R LA MONDIALE:  “Vincent Lavenu has put together a very good team for the Tour de France 2019; all riders are united, supportive, and hardworking. Their ability to ride outside themselves and their stamina impresses me. All of AG2R LA MONDIALE’s members are behind them at every stage with tremendous enthusiasm.”
