In mid-October, the Frenchman Jean- Marc Marino thought he had finished with the professional cycling world. It will not be the case, as the rider of the Sojasun team that will no longer be in the ranks in 2014, will be part of the of the Cannondale team next year! Indeed, on Tuesday Cyclism’Actu announced that Sojasun would become a sponsor of the World Tour team.

"In return" for the funding, the Cannondale team has agreed to a representative of each trade from the Sojasun team: a team manager, a mechanic, a physiotherapist, a public relations manager and rider. And " the lucky one " has been Jean- Marc Marino. He said " Stéphane Heulot told me to get back to work, I did, but I prefer not to believe as I have not signed yet, it seems that everything can be realized very quickly ... I was on vacation with my beautiful family in Tanzania and I did not think about all that. I saw Stéphane Heulot trying to reach me ... I had no idea what he would say to me, "said the rider on the site" ladepeche.fr “.

Jean- Marc Marino is currently Catalonia to find the right pedal stroke: "It's twenty degrees, it is a treat, but as I've completely cut for two months, it's still a bit hard. " " Well it's not all that but it will take me a while to get to Cannondale’s level." concludes the 30 year old, a professional since 2005.
