What can we say during the 2024 assessment of the Cofidis season, except that with rare exceptions, it was catastrophic. And even with the best will in the world, it is very difficult to find positive elements, as things have been so complicated.
If we leave aside everything extra-sporting, where everything has already been said, the balance sheet is really not rosy.
Whether in terms of victories, since Cofidis only has 5 victories, that is to say the worst record in the World Tour, or in terms of the UCI ranking. 20th, the northern team is only ahead of the disappointing Astana among the first division teams. Worse still, she points behind Lotto-DstnyIsrael Premiertech et One-Xthree structures that belong to the lower division.
A sad assessment therefore, and without pushing the envelope a little more, can't wait for 2025 for Cofidis, with hopefully a little more results and less tumult…
The runner: Benjamin Thomas
If there was only one rider to stand out in the current squad, it would be Benjamin Thomas. Winner in May of the first bouquet of the year for Cofidis on the roads of the Giro, the Frenchman then shone on the track by winning an Olympic champion title during the Paris 2024 Games.
Editor's note: 6.3/20
UCI ranking: 20/202
Number of UCI victories in 2024: 5
