Roubaix Lille Métropole ride in the third division since 2007. But now, this French team hopes to change category. Indeed, the French team hopes to be in Pro Continental level as quickly as possible and why not in 2016.

So, the staff is looking for money according to the President Jean-Charles Cannone. He explains it in the French newspaper Le Nord Eclair: "We give six months to bring our budget two and a half million euros, to allow us access to the Continental Pro level in the near future. It is necessary that 2015 is even better. Third in the Coupe de France, fifteenth in Europe Tour this year, this is proof that a team exists."

This winter, seven riders left the training. We think of course about Quentin Jauregui who signed with AG2R La Mondiale. Four other runners were hired by this team: Jérémy Leveau (VC Rouen 76), Dieter Bouvry (EFC Quick Step), Thomas Damuseau (Giant Shimano) and Julien Antomarchi (La Pomme Marseille).
