Brice Feillu finally finds a new team---the Bretagne-Seche team. After his former team, Sojasun folded, Feillu had a really hard time finding a new job. The French rider has to accept neo-pro salary in Bretagne-Seche.
And even this job was being hotly contested. Emmanuel Hubert, DS of Bretagne-Seche, says, "We had several options, including Sebastien Duret or Gael Malacarne or recruit a rider from another team. We weighted the pros and cons. Finally, our choice fell on Brice Feillu." Hubert is aiming a Tour wildcard, "Our ambition is to play the next Tour de France and Brice has already completed the Tour three times."
Brice Feillu is a decent attacker and climber who won a Tour stage in Andorra, back in 2009. He's probably better known as brother of Romain Feillu though, as Romain is a pretty good sprinter. Romain will join the Bretagne-Seche squad too.
11 of 23 former Sojasun riders have found a new home as of now, with Hivert joining Belkin and Engoulvent joining Europcar. Other riders like Pauriol and El Fares are still jobless.
