Nobody wants to ride for them , they have no idea how to train riders , they are micromanaged, and only gullible riders from lesser level/french teams (armirail, shiffer, fiorelli) are signing because any science is an improvement for them.
They've probably been round asking everyone, pernstenner, hugh carthy, lafay, venturini, bardet. Anton Palzser. Checking the UCI ban list for soon eligible riders etc. Getting turned down. I bet buchmann even chose cofidis over them.
The old stalwart kruijsvik will be leading the team aiming for a top 20 at the giro at this rate.
