Encyclopedia
Ag2r-La Mondiale is a French
cycling team
with UCI ProTour
team status. Its title sponsors are the Ag2r Group, which is a French-based interprofessional insurance and supplementary retirement fund group, and the La Mondiale Group, which is a French-based international group for supplementary pension and estate planning insurance.
In 1992 Vincent Lavenu
, who had just retired from professional cycling, started a professional cycling team with Chazal as the main sponsor. Lavenu had previously organised sponsorship from Chazal of his last professional team. This sponsor stayed from 1992 to 1995. In 1996 Petit Casino, a chain of coffee shops in supermarkets took over the sponsorship of the team. At this time the team was a second division team that relied on the public to sponsor the team. The team had the saying "Petit Casino- c’est votre equipe" – it’s your team which signified this involvement of the public. In 1997 Casino, the supermarket chain that contained the coffee shops called Petit Casino, took over the sponsorship of the team and the budget increased substantially. Lavenu’s team could compete in the big races such as the classics. The team obtained successes with Alexandre Vinokourov, Jaan Kirsipuu
and Lauri Aus
.
The insurance company Ag2r Prevoyance took over as the main sponsor in 2000. The team obtained further successes with Laurent Brochard
, Jaan Kirsipuu
and Jean-Patrick Nazon
. In 2006, the team joined the UCI ProTour
, following the signings of big cycling names Francisco Mancebo
and Christophe Moreau
. Fassa Bortolo's exit from the competition had freed a licence and 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. Ag2r obtained success in the 2006 Tour de France
with a stage win by Sylvain Calzati
, and a day in the maillot jaune by Cyril Dessel
.
Rinaldo Nocentini
took the yellow jersey
after stage 7 of the 2009 Tour de France
