Incidentally, I loved that French article. I learned French ages ago and used to be just about competent at it, but I rarely use it these days. That article had some really interesting expressions that I did not know.
mettre la clé sous la porte = put the key under the door = shut up shop / go out of buisiness
coureurs phares = lighthouse riders = star riders
se battre bec et ongles = fight beak and nails = fight tooth and nail

Not confirmed but usually on the ball so to speak,there's a link in there saying all B+B riders have been told to look for another team.

official according to cycling news
The major ambitions of Jérôme Pineau's B&B Hotels team have come crashing down. After expressing hopes of signing Mark Cavendish and linking up with the City of Paris as a partner, both deals are evaporating, according to Ouest-France.
Pineau informed riders and staff on Friday that they were free to sign with a new team, although technically they were free under UCI rules to break their contract when the team did not get their ProTeam licence application in by October 15.

You'd think he'd be a good catch,sponsorship wise at least.Which world tour team has less than 30 riders signed up ? If B+B go kapput does that mean Israel could get a place,they've got the money and the retirement home waiting ! Feck he'd be one of the youngest there 🙄
Anyway I'd hope he gets a place and another crack at the Tour/record...be mad for someone to not give him a go.

The challenge is there's all the riders B&B had already, plus those who were planning to sign up. In addition there appears to be a lot of teams who are either shrinking or disbanding as well as the sponsorship pool shrinks.
It's going to be a challenging few years for some imo.
