Armée de terre (cycling team)

Since the riders on Armée de terre are soldiers rather than professional cyclists, a special exception had to be made to allow the team to compete.

[9] The team retained several of its riders from the 2014 season into the international ranks, including French under-23 champion Yann Guyot.

They then rode the 2015 Tour du Haut Var, where Quentin Pacher finished fifteenth overall and won the white jersey for the best young rider.

[12][13] The following weekend, the team achieved top 10 results in two French races: eighth place in the Classic Sud-Ardèche for Romain Combaud and seventh in the La Drôme Classic for Yann Guyot, who was the leading group behind the race winner, Samuel Dumoulin (AG2R La Mondiale).

[14][15] The team's first victory came at the Tour du Loir-et-Cher, where Guyot won stage 3 in a two-man sprint.

[16] As the members of the Armée de terre team were all soldiers as well as cyclists, they all had military ranks.
