David Gaudu will ride under our colors until 2027. This extension with his long-standing team is a sign of confidence in a structure that enables him to keep up with the best riders in the international peloton. Having turned professional with the FDJ team in 2017, David has enjoyed great sporting success (4th in the Tour de France, 3rd in Liège-Bastogne-Liège, 2nd in Paris-Nice, 2 stage wins in La Vuelta). Having arrived at the age of 20, David is an emblematic leader and an example of the success of the Groupama-FDJ training school. The entire staff and team look forward to continuing this wonderful adventure, and wish David every success in the future!
“Extending my contract with Groupama-FDJ team is an obvious decision, but above all it’s motivated by a real conviction: that my story here is not over. This is the team that gave me my chance at the highest level, that accompanied me every step of the way, and that continues to have faith in me season after season. The years go by, but the desire remains intact. Like my performances at the start of the season in Oman and during La Vuelta 2024, I feel I’m reaching new heights with the team. I’m convinced there are great things to come over the next two years.”
David Gaudu
“Sixth in the Vuelta 2024 and recent stage winner in the Tour of Oman, David Gaudu has once again demonstrated the extent of his talent and physical qualities, which saw him finish 4th in the Tour de France in 2022 or win the Tour de l’Avenir at the very start of his career. Trust, a core value shared with our partners Groupama and FDJ, finds a concrete illustration in David, who has been a pillar of the team for seven seasons. His loyalty and commitment make him a key figure in our sporting project. By extending David’s contract for a further two years, we are reaffirming this mutual trust and our shared desire to see him establish himself as one of the top general classification riders in stage races.”
