Cofidis parts ways with GM Cédric Vasseur as relegation looms
French team Cofidis has parted ways with general manager Cédric Vasseur, the former pro-turned manager who took up the role in 2018. The Frenchman guided the team through its first WorldTour promotion/relegation cycle ('20-'23), but as 2025 draws to a close, Cofidis is at risk of dropping back down to ProTeam level.
In Vasseur's place, the organisation is bringing Raphaël Jeune, another former pro who went to work as a marketing manager at Look Cycle International, the bike and equipment brand that has a long-term relationship with Cofidis.
There's still a chance the team can survive relegation, but to do so they'd have to battle Uno-X Mobility, which recently moved ahead of Cofidis in the rankings – both are currently outside the top 18, but with Lotto (9th) and Intermarché Wanty (18th), the 19th-ranked team will also make the cut.
