Not retained by the Bingoal WB team, Nathan Vandepitte is set on his future. The 24-year-old rider has signed up for 2025 with the new Ardèche Kone Team, which is applying for Nationale 2.
“I learned too late that I was not retained to hope to find a team among the pros, he indicates to DirectVelo. Ardèche Kone's proposal quickly arrived. I liked the project. I had good discussions with Pierre-André (Fayette), it makes me want it again, it would be stupid not to do it. If I commit, it's to do it 100%, to rediscover the pleasure which had disappeared a little, to perform again and why not to become professional again”.
The Tarnais has only had one experience among Amateurs, it was in 2020 at Occitane CF. He spent three years in the Bingoal WB reserves (2019, 2021 and 2022) and two in the Belgian ProTeam (2023 and 2024).
“I am obviously grateful for the luck I had. Cycling has become my job, you do what you are told to do. The lack of results was not easy to accept. The level was high”. Nathan Vandepitte finished, this year, 11th in the GP Criquielion (1.1) and in a stage of the Tour Poitou-Charentes in New Aquitaine, 21st in the Samyn (1.1) or even 22nd in a Tour de la Provence stage (2.1).
