Jaakko Hänninen: «Serenity»
«I am very happy to extend my contract until 2024. The team is showing its confidence in me over the long term, which is a great honour. I tend to put a lot of pressure on myself, but extending my contract allows me to continue working with peace of mind. I'm originally from northern Finland, but France means a lot to me. When I arrived, I had to adapt to a new culture, but now I've found my place in France and in the team. When I'm not at home, the team is my second family!»[/su_quote] [su_row][su_column size=»1/2»]

Vincent Lavenu: «A wonderful journey to write together»
«Jaakko is a talented lad and we wanted to secure his long-term commitment. He is a pure climber and feels at home in the team. We have plans for the future with him to take him to the very highest level. He has our long-term confidence and we have a great journey ahead of us together. He has a great history in France, first with the Club de l'Espoir Cycliste de Saint-Etienne Loire chaired by Gilles Mas, then in our ranks. He has physical and human qualities that attracted us, which is why we have signed this partnership until the end of 2024.» [/su_quote]
