Clément Berthet: «A legendary team.»
«If someone had told me at the beginning of the year that I would end up in a WorldTeams team, especially AG2R CITROËN, I wouldn't have believed them. It's a legendary team, a big name in the peloton, and I'm really very happy. I am grateful to the Delko team for giving me my chance and allowing me to join AG2R CITROËN during the season. I come from a mountain biking background and this is my first year as a professional road cyclist. I consider myself a climber with punch. I also enjoy time trials. I will be able to rely on very experienced riders and staff. This will allow me to grow quickly. I can't wait to wear my new colours.»[/su_quote] [su_quote cite=Vincent Lavenu]
Vincent Lavenu: «A promising talent to develop.»
«We worked closely with the rider, his agent and his team to complete this transfer during the season. Clément Berthet is a very versatile, young and talented climber-rouleur. He doesn't have a long history on the road but has already shown great promise. He is a talented rider to train and we are delighted to welcome him.»
