The French team is showing a slight downward trend in terms of victories. Compared to the previous year, Marc Madiot's men recorded four fewer victories. This puts the team in 15th place in terms of the teams with the most victories in the 2024 season. Groupama-FDJ's most prestigious successes came from Stefan Küng, who won the time trial on stage 21 of the Vuelta a Espana, and Laurence Pithie, who won the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Race at the end of January.
Lenny Martinez took the most victories for Groupama-FDJ, followed by Küng (3). The 21-year-old Frenchman Martinez was already successful at the Classic Var in February, before winning the Trofeo Laigueglia in Italy shortly afterwards. This was followed by two victories at the Classic Grand Bessancon Doubs and the Tour du Doubs in April, before he won the Mercan'Tour Classic Alpes-Maritimes at the end of May.
David Gaudu leads these statistics at Groupama-FDJ. The fourth-placed rider in the 2022 Tour de France was particularly strong at the Vuelta a Espana, where he finished sixth overall and showed flashes of his class from days gone by. At the Tour de France, the 27-year-old only managed 65th place in the final standings. In terms of the most kilometres raced, however, Gaudu is outdone by Quentin Pacher, who has 130 kilometres more in his legs than his team-mate with 13,186.
With Lenny Martinez and Laurence Pithie, two of cycling's greatest talents are leaving Groupama-FDJ. On the other hand, Guillaume Martin is the most prominent newcomer. It remains to be seen whether the now 31-year-old will find his way back to winning ways with his new employer after a very mixed season at Cofidis.
