Eddy Seigneur, who ended his career as a pro rider at the end of 2005, will this year become a director sportif within French ProTour team Cofidis. The four-time French time trial champion will make his debut in this function at Tirreno-Adriatico, Italy, in March. Team Manager Eric Boyer is fond of the idea, and thinks the 37 year-old will do well.
"He's one of the younger retired riders of the peloton; very close to the current generation," Boyer told L'Equipe. "He has a lot to give to us by directing the younger riders of the squad."
