The Decathlon AG2R team have announced shipping giant CMA CGM as a new five-year title sponsor starting in 2026. The new sponsorship will help the team raise the team's budget to close to 40 million Euro as they work towards a top five place in the men's WorldTour and so super team status alongside UAE Team Emirates-XRG, Lidl-Trek, Visma-Lease a Bike and Ineos Grenadiers.

The French team revealed to Cyclingnews how they plan to target Tour de France success with generational talent Paul Seixas. CMA CGM will long-standing sponsor AG2R La Mondiale, who have also ended their time as team owner.
