Coupe de France winner Clément Venturini has said that he's "afraid things aren't going as planned" as he continues his search for a 2026 team following the collapse of Arkéa-B&B Hotels.

The 32-year-old Frenchman was the second-highest UCI points scorer on the Breton-based squad, racking up 707 points during 2025, good for 127th in the season's UCI rankings. Despite that, however, he remains one of numerous Arkéa-B&B Hotels riders without a deal for next season.
