  • Worldteams Profiles
    KEY RIDER BIOS | WORLDTEAMS PROFILES WORLDTEAMS AG2R LA MONDIALE (FRA) In the top flight for the past 24 years, the French squad shone once more at this year’s Tour de France, with Romain Bardet— who’ll be among the stars racing here in Canada—finishing second in the general classification. A season‐win total stuck at six has taken some of the shine off that success, but the fact remains that Vincent Lavenu’s team has been influential all season long. Founded in: 1992. Wins in 2016 (as of Aug. 22): 6 RIDERS TO WATCH Romain Bardet (FRA): Age 24, turned pro in 2012. Palmarès: 5 wins including two stages of the Tour de France. This season: 1 win; 2nd in the Tour de France, 2nd in the Critérium du Dauphiné, 2nd in the Tour of Oman. In 2016, this French climbing specialist continued his impressive rise to the higher echelons of world cycling, proving that he was one of the few men who could give Chris Froome a run for his money, both in the Critérium du Dauphiné and the Tour de France. Though tired after the Rio Olympics, he’ll be eager for end‐of‐season success in Canada, where he has done well in the past (5th in Montréal in 2014, and 7th last year). Alexis Vuillermoz (FRA): Age 28, turned pro in 2013. Palmarès: 5 wins including Stage 8 of the 2015 Tour de France. This season: 2nd in the GP de Plumelec, 3rd in the French National Championships. A series of crashes and health worries have kept his former mountain biking specialist from fulfilling the promise of his exciting 2015 season.

I believe it reflects the significant progress we have made in modernising the organisation to ensure it is an International Federation of outstanding performance and integrity. I was elected President in 2013 with a mandate to restore trust and credibility in our sport and the UCI. In 2015, we built on the progress already made the previous year in doing exactly this. The UCI is helping to lead the way in establishing the very best practices in sporting integrity and transparency, and much has been achieved on this front over the past twelve months: there is a culture of openness and proper governance in everything we do.
