BENOIT COSNEFROY: «Continuity and ambition»
«Extending my contract with the AG2R LA MONDIALE team means choosing continuity and ambition. A three-year contract is a great sign of confidence from the team management and its partners. The project is motivating. I feel a real expectation around me. It's a pressure that I like and that motivates me. There is a real willingness to listen and interesting prospects. I now want to win a one-day race in the UCI WorldTour and my dream would be to win an Ardennes classic. Today, I can't wait for the season to start again. There's a kind of euphoria in knowing that everything will be condensed into a few months and that there will be great things to do. I really want to raise my arms in victory again.» [/su_quote]
