BENOIT COSNEFROY: "Continuity and ambition
"Extending my contract with the AG2R LA MONDIALE team means choosing continuity and ambition. A three-year contract is a great sign of confidence from the team management and its partners. The project is motivating. I feel a real expectation around me. It's a pressure that I like and that motivates me. There is a real listening and interesting perspectives. From now on, I want to win a UCI WorldTour one-day race and my dream is to win an Ardennes classic. Now I'm looking forward to the season. There's a kind of euphoria that everything is going to be condensed into a few months and that there will be great things to do. I'm really looking forward to raising my arms again." [/su_quote]
