Sylvain Chavanel and Jérôme Pineau will leave the IAM Cycling team. According to its press release, the Swiss team want to change its plans and create a great squad for sprints. The team's sprint options for 2015 include Matteo Pelucchi, Jonas van Genechten and Heinrich Haussler although the trio have just three wins between them and none since the first of February. But rumors announced that Bryan Coquard will joined the team the next season.
"For next year, we want to have our pack of wolves more compact and prominent at the front of the peloton in order to usher our sprinters to the finish line more effectively. As a result of this reevaluation, we decided not to extend Sylvain Chavanel's contract," the founder of IAM Cycling Michel Thétaz explained in a press release. "We are certainly aware of everything that Sylvain has brought to this team. The collaboration has exceeded our expectations. We will never forget his fantastic victory at the GP de Plouay last August, nor his overall qualities as a racer as well as a human being. We have really had two wonderful years together with him. I reiterate my thanks to him for his professionalism and wish him the very best for his future."
