Despite 2013 being a post-Olympic year, a time when many cross country teams fold or cut their budgets, BH SR Suntour Peisey Vallandry is strengthening its roster of nine riders.
Tempier finished 11th at the London Olympic Games and was ninth at cross country Worlds. He finished 15th overall in the World Cup standings and won the season-ending Roc d'Azur race. The French man is making the move from the TX Active Bianchi Team.
Le Corre is transferring from Roubaix Lille Métropole after his contract was not renewed. He is an accomplished 'cross racer, though he got into the sport via mountain biking.
Julie Bresset is still the team's most successful rider. Currently the Olympic and world champion, Bresset is ranked number 1 in the UCI rankings and is the French national champion. In 2011, she won the World Cup overall.
Maxime Marotte, a regular top 10 contender in the UCI World Cup, continues with the team. He was 13th overall and part of the French national team which won the silver medal in the team relay at Worlds in Saalfelden, Austria.
