Bastien Tronchon
“I am joining Groupama-FDJ with a great deal of enthusiasm and ambition. In my discussions with the team, I sensed a real sense of confidence, and it is extremely motivating to see that they are counting on me. My profile will allow me to express myself in the most beautiful classics on the calendar, the Flanders races that I love, the Strade Bianche that I dream of, and with Romain Grégoire in the Ardennes classics. I am committed to making these three years with the team a period of physical progress and sporting and personal fulfilment, with great results to boot. My choice of Groupama-FDJ also reflects my desire to remain in a reassuring environment, so that I can continue to learn with peace of mind.“

“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 to grow with us. He will be responsible for flying our colours on pitches that suit him and that he enjoys. His punching skills will also work wonders alongside Romain Grégoire. With Bastien, we have a valuable addition to the team for the future, and every reason to believe that our team’s professionalism will have a great ambassador.”
