The cycling team of Jean-Rene Bernaudeau, currently known as TotalEnergies, has found a new main sponsor in XEFI, a French company specializing in IT services. The team, which started as the Vendee youth team in 1991, has been professional since 2000 and has seen riders like Thomas Voeckler and Pierre Rolland excel in the Tour de France. However, the threat of its disappearance loomed throughout the season. On November 9, three weeks after the initial deadline for UCI license applications, the team announced a new sponsorship agreement with XEFI, for a three-year deal. Starting in 2027, the team will simply be named XEFI. XEFI is a French company based in Lyon that provides 'a complete and integrated suite of IT services' to around 25,000 small and medium-sized businesses.
