According to Cyclingnews, Yoann Offredo is currently under contract for 2016 season with the FDJ team, but he does not stop to try to have a contract with a new squad. The rider signed a two-year deal with Marc Madiot’s team at the start of the 2015 season, but apparently if he finds a new team for 2016, he can leave FDJ.

"I'm still in contract with FDJ because I signed a new two-year contract last year. I want to say that I have a lot of respect for Marc Madiot and FDJ. He is like a father figure to me and the team, FDJ, is a very strong and very big squad. However I had a discussion with Marc Madiot and I told him that I wanted to leave the team because I wanted to discover something new. This is about trying to try something new. It's not that I don't like FDJ, it's a team that is very close to my heart."

In 2012, he was forced to serve a 12-month ban for a whereabouts violations. "After my ban two years ago it was a really hard period for me. The team were a little responsible for that ban and I've been where I am for eight years. I have good relationship with my manager though."

"Maybe something like Garmin or MTN because I needed a new project and a new motivation. Marc Madiot has agreed to my request. If I don't have another opportunity then I'll stay with FDJ. I don't want to stop cycling so if nothing comes, then I will stay with FDJ next year. This is just about trying to find a team with another culture."
