Bastien Tronchon, classics specialist, joins Groupama-FDJ until 2028! "I am joining Groupama-FDJ with great enthusiasm and ambition. In my discussions with the team, I sensed a true sense of confidence, and it is extremely motivating to see that they count on me. My profile will allow me to express myself in the most beautiful classics of the calendar, in the Flanders that I love, in the Strade Bianche that I dream of, and alongside Romain Grégoire in the Ardennes classics. My choice also reflects the desire to remain in a reassuring environment, so that I can continue to learn in complete tranquility".

Philippe Mauduit, technical manager of the team, adds: "Bastien Tronchon is a master of balance! As cheerful as he is professional, we welcome him to the team with the certainty that he will find a place to continue growing with us. His attacking skills will also be valuable alongside Romain Grégoire. With Bastien, we have a valuable addition to the team for the future, and we have every reason to believe that the professionalism of our team will have a great ambassador".
