Fortuneo - Vital Concept which was known as Bretagne-Seche Environnement in 2015, is getting ready for their first races under their new neame. Emmanuel Hubert's team will kick off on two fronts as it will be active in Gabon's Tropicale Amissa Bongo and Argentina's Tour de San Luis from January 18 to 24. 

The team will send its fast riders Armindo Fonseca and Yahueni Hutarovich to the African stage race. In Argentina, they will rely on Eduardo Sepulveda and Chris-Anker Sorensen on the mountainous course.

Later the team will turn its attention to Europe and the first French races, GP d'Ouverture - La Marseillaise and Etoile de Besseges where Pierrick Fedrigo, Jonathan Hivert and Fonseca should be able to do well. At the same time, another part of the team will travel to Asia for the Tours of Qatar and Oman. Sprinters Hutarovich, Dan McLay and Boris Vallee are likely to show themselves on the flat roads in Qatar while Sepulveda will lead the GC campaign on the hillier course in Oman.
