A member of Chambery Cyclisme Formation since 2013, Nico Denz will join the Pro Cycling Team AG2R LA MONDIALE from August 2015. The young German rider got 6 victories this year, including a stage win and the overall standings of the Tour de l’Ardèche Méridionale. He has ever had an experience with the professional group by taking part for example to the Polynormande, the Classic de l’Indre and the Tour du Poitou-Charentes.
AG2R and Denz are the second team to sign a rider for the following August in recent seasons, after Orica Greeenedge announced in 2013 that Caleb Ewan would sign for them in August 2014, which he has now successfully done.
Note that Nico Denz is the 19th rider from the training centre to turn pro in the team of Vincent Lavenu.
