Baptiste Poulard signs for two seasons

The continental development team has recruited Baptiste Poulard, 2nd in the 2024 French Amateur Road Championships, for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

The words of Baptiste Poulard:
‘I'm delighted to be joining the ARKEA-B&B HOTELS Développement team for the next two seasons. It's a great team with a World Tour structure, and what's more, it's based in Brittany, a region I particularly like. I know Léonard Cosnier well, and we've had a lot of discussions about my joining the ARKEA-B&B HOTELS team. The sporting project that Jean-Christophe Moussard, the team's Sports Manager, Maxime Bouet and Léonard Cosnier presented to me very quickly won me over. They told me that they would put their trust in me for the climbers' races in the 2025 season. I think I can eventually develop into this category of rider. It's a bit more difficult to say that when you come out of the amateur ranks, because there aren't many races in the calendar for this category that are open to pure climbers. But in any case, it's a terrain that I really want to explore in the future.'
