Just like other two fellow World Tour riders Pierrick Fedrigo and Jonathan Hivert, the Belarusian national champion Yauheni Hutarovich decided to step down to Continental level and reinforce the Bretagne-Séché Environnement outfit from the next season.
The Belarusian sprinter perform well in the middle part of the 2014 season, finally breaking the victory draught by winning the Grand Prix de la Somme in May and an incredibly hectic first stage of the Tour de Pologne in August.
The decision has been announced by the French squad.
"We need to go to another level next season," said general manager Emmanuel Hubert. "This should primarily be by winning races. In the sprint ranks, we are pleased to have Romain Feillu who has returned to a high level this season."
"But the reinforcement of Yauheni Hutarovich doubles our potential in this sector and we know this is decisive in professional cycling today."
Hutarovich was connected with the FDJ team from the beginning of his professional career before joining Ag2r-La Mondiale for last two seasons.
