Victories 2024: 30
The arrival of sporting goods giant Decathlon as the new main sponsor has given the French team a jolt. 30 wins this season is the fifth-best haul among the World Tour teams. In comparison: in 2023, the French team only achieved nine victories under the name AG2R Citroën Team. Even if it wasn't enough for the big time in the Monuments, two stage wins at the Giro d'Italia and one at the Vuelta a Espana count towards the 2024 tally, as do Ben O'Connor's top placings in the overall classification at the Giro (4th) and the Vuelta (2nd).
Driver with the most victories: 7
Benoit Cosnefroy is the professional with the most victories at Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale 2024. In addition to his most important victory in the Arrow of Brabant, these include: stage 2 of the Tour des Alpes-Maritimes, overall victory in the Tour des Alpes-Maritimes, Paris-Camembert, Grand Prix du Morbihan, Tour du Finistere and the prologue of the Boucles de la Mayenne.
Most racing days: 87
Bruno Armirail rode the most race days for the French team in 2024. His 87 appearances also include two Grand Tours, the Tour de France and the Vuelta a Espana. The 30-year-old Frenchman also leads the team's internal ranking for the most race kilometres: 12,457 - 439 more than Valentin Paret-Peintre in second place.

It will be difficult for the team to compensate for the departure of Ben O'Connor. The Australian may not have been the winning rider par excellence, but he was the team's figurehead in the Grand Tours. New signings include top talents Johannes Staune-Mittet (from Visma | Lease a Bike), Leo Bisiaux and junior time trial world champion Paul Seixas (both from the team's own ranks) as well as Swiss time trial specialist Stefan Bissegger.
