“Abhorrent behavior” or “good manager”? The methods of Cofidis boss Cédric Vasseur are debated

If by Sunday, the Cofidis team does not achieve a victory, it will beat a bad record dating from 2015. That of the number of days without success since the start of the season. A contrast with the last two good years of the northern team. Obviously, in the team, the atmosphere, a few days before Paris-Roubaix, the local race which has eluded it since its beginnings, is gloomy.

In 2015, the one who finally unlocked the runner was called Nacer Bouhanni. It was during the first stage of the Circuit de la Sarthe. But a few weeks ago, the newly retired man was tense internally. His attack started like a puncher, but delivered by a former sprinter. In L’Équipe Magazine then in our columns, Nacer Bouhanni let go of what was in his heart towards Cédric Vasseur, his former manager at Cofidis. The words were particularly violent.
