[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).
