Report: Vansummeren to Ag2r-La Mondiale
Belgian to join French team in 2015
Johan Vansummeren (Garmin-Sharp) is reportedly on his way to Ag2r-La Mondiale from 2015 where he will join compatriot Jan Bakelants as a new signing.
Vansummeren's contract with Garmin expires at the end of the season, and due to the merger with Cannondale, the American team has committed to honouring pre-existing contracts before offering places to riders out of contract.
The Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad has reported that a delay in a contract from Garmin resulted in the 33-year-old looking elsewhere for a team.
The former Paris-Roubiax champion joined the Garmin team from the 2010 season.
