Developpement

Kévin Vauquelin will be a professional in the Arkéa-Samsic team from 2022, and this season he is part of the Arkéa-Samsic development by AWS programme. Double French junior champion (time trial in 2018, and road race in 2019), the Normandy rider also has an impressive track record: triple silver medallist at the World Junior Championships, team pursuit (2018 and 2019), points race (2019).

Junior French champion in the Tempo Race on the track, the Côte d’Azur rider discovered cycling in Utah in the USA, where his parents worked. Rémi also shines on the road with the Tour PACA which he won. The Côte d’Azur rider also finished second and third in a major junior event, the Tour de la Vallée la Trambouze.

Crowned champion of Brittany at only 19 years old, Ewen Costiou is a rider who rides fast, not only in the figurative sense of the expression! He is also the junior Brittany time trial champion. These two results, which are not the only convincing ones he has obtained, show the beautiful range of qualities that this young rider possesses.

Thibault D’Hervez, silver medallist at the French junior championships, 11th in the world in this age category in 2019, is a young Breton who had a promising first elite season in 2020, with a 3rd place obtained in the Plaintel-Plaintel classic. He also finished 15th in his first ever 2020 French amateur championships in Grand-Champ.

Son of a former professional, Joris Delbove started to write his cycling history in cyclo-cross. Winner of a junior French Cup round, silver and bronze medallist in the U23 category, he has won his first elite road race, the Tour du Gevaudan, a few weeks ago, demonstrating his great qualities as a puncheur.

A rider with a climbing profile, Paul Hirsinger, who lived in South Africa, where he discovered cycling, wants to succeed in cycling. He is also a brilliant student, as he wants to go to engineering school. His prize list includes a victory in the Tour de la Région PACA in 2019.

A double silver medallist at the Junior MTB World Championships, the Côte d’Azur rider is also the 2020 MTB relay world champion. The Côte d’Azur rider has great physical qualities and must now transpose them to the road, as many mountain bikers have done after MTB racing.
