Groupama-FDJ finalises 2021 roster with 30 riders
Valter, Badilatti, Van den Berg and Davy newcomers for French team
Groupama-FDJ announced they have finalised their roster for the 2021 season. The French WorldTour squad remained largely the same, with four new additions and three departures.
2020 Giro d'Italia points jersey winner Arnaud Démare, winner of four stages, will stay put along with European time trial champion Stefan Küng, Critérium du Dauphiné runner-up Thibaut Pinot and double Vuelta a España stage winner David Gaudu.
These four riders were the top contributors to the Groupama-FDJ team's ninth place in the final 2020 UCI Team Ranking.
Other additions include Attila Valter (CCC Team), Matteo Badilatti (Israel Start-Up Nation), and neo-pros Clément Davy and Lars van den Berg from the Groupama-FDJ Continental team bringing the team to 30 riders for 2021.
Neo-pro Valter won the Tour de Hongrie earlier this year, also competing his debut Grand Tour at the Giro d'Italia, while Badilatti took third at the Sibiu Tour in July.
Departures include Kilian Frankiny to Qhubeka Assos, Marc Sarreau to AG2R Citröen and Léo Vincent to the amateur ranks.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
