"Unlike a pro-continental team the World Tour teams are only concentrated on two riders. During the 2010-2011 season I almost finished all the time in the first ten of the big classics. Subsequently I totally devoted myself to my team while staying in the first fifteen in the Spring classics. The individual victories of a professional rider does not necessarily reflect his potential. I had many collective victories with Nacer Bouhanni, Arnaud Démare, Thibaut Pinot and it is as glorious for me as an individual achievement. When you have a rider in your team who has higher qualities than you, you just put yourself at his service."
Wanty - Groupe Gobert has hired Offredo to be a team captain.
"My experience makes me able," he said about his new role. "I am a man of the beginning of the season. I'm looking forward to these races, otherwise I will not have come here. It is not money that motivates me but the challenge.
It is time for me to show my potential. Wanty-Groupe Gobert is a familiar team where the collective and individual performances are more prominent.
