From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AG2R Prévoyance (UCI Team Code: A2R) are a French cycling team which did not take part in the inaugural UCI ProTour 2005, having to make do with being invited to compete in French races, such as Paris-Nice, Paris-Roubaix or the Tour de France. Following the signings of big cycling names Francisco Mancebo and Christophe Moreau AG2R Prévoyance got the UCI ProTour license left vacant for the 2006 season, after Fassa Bortolo's exit from the competition. AG2R was the only team left vying for the license, as Comunidad Valenciana voluntarily withdrew, while the proposed new team of former Fassa Bortolo sporting director Giancarlo Ferretti turned out to be without financial backing.
[edit] History
The team was founded in 1992 under the name Chazal, then adopted the name Petit Casino in 1996. The insurance broker AG2R arrived on the scene, causing the team to once again change its name from Casino - AG2R Prévoyance between 1997 and 1999, then later just AG2R Prévoyance after the year 2000.
