The renewal campaign continues at Groupama-FDJ United: after Romain Gregoire, Johan Jacobs has also extended his contract through 2028! The Swiss rider will continue his development within the team, a testament to the strong mutual trust and shared ambitions between the classics specialist and the squad.

"There is mutual trust. This is an important foundation for me, for my growth. I'm here to help the team and the team helps me. I like the idea of leaving my mark; I don't want to be someone who comes and goes. It's the right decision for me. My first two years have been quite different: first supporting Stefan, then as a mentor for the younger members of our team in the classics. I want to help them with my knowledge of these races. I love this project of guiding this group of young riders with great potential. It's a long-term project, and I feel completely at home".

In turn, technical director Philippe Mauduit adds: "Johan has proven himself to be a reliable teammate and will be an important resource for the future of our team in the classics and he is still young. He has demonstrated all his qualities over the last two years and the next two years will allow him to continue to grow and make a fundamental contribution to the group. The quality of his work and his commitment will certainly enable him to become an indispensable captain alongside our leaders".
