2025 Edition
The history
Since its creation in 2005 under the name of Bretagne - Jean Floc'h, the team has continued to grow from the Continental category until becoming the second-best ProTeam in 2021. That sporting achievement earned him an invitation to the full WT calendar in 2022, before becoming a WorldTeam in 2023.
In 2020, with the arrival of Nairo Quintana, Nacer Bouhanni and Diego Rosa, among others, the team experienced a leap in quality that allowed it to be placed among the best riders in the second professional category. This year, performances by newly arrived team members Hugo Hofstetter and Nicolas Edet, have helped the team to continue to improve both its performance and its results. Nairo Quintana also managed to obtain 6th place in the Tour de France.
In 2023, Arkéa made its debut as a WorldTeam after being one of the top 18 teams in the 2020-2022 triennium. In 2024, the team achieved its first victory in the Tour de France, at the hands of Frenchman Kevin Vauquelin on stage 2.
