The winner of the mountain classification of the Dauphiné Critérium2016, Daniel Teklehaimanot , has managed to obtain a new professional contract after leaving the ranks of Dimension Data . The29-year-old Teklehaimanot saw his continuity in professional cycling at the end of 2017 jeopardized, when the South African formationDimension Data decided not to prolong the contract of the Eritrean climber. While other runners attended the training camps of their respective teams, the future professional of Teklehaimanot was still in the air.

Teklehaimanot rose to fame with the MTN-Qhubeka / Dimension Data squad , where he won the mountain classification at the prestigious Critérium de Dauphiné in 2015, his great feat would serve him for weeks later to debut in the Tour de France , where he would dress in more than once his longed for polka-dot jersey. The following year, he had the opportunity to win again the classification of mountains in the Dauphiné , but it did not have as much impact on the Tour . In 2017, Teklehaimanot played the Giro d'Italia for the first time and wore the shirt of the leader of the mountain classification in the first three stages.

Teklehaimanot will barely have time to acclimatize to his new team, since the French team has decided that the Eritrean replace the sprinter Geoffrey Soupe in the team's lineup for the Tour of Dubai , this coming February 6. After announcing the signing on Twitter , the general manager of Cofidis , Cedric Vasseur , wanted to dedicate afew words: " We recruited a pilot WorldTour, I'm sure his qualities as a climber will allow the team to a new level ". The organizer of the Tour de France , ASO , confirmed at the beginning of January thatCofidis had received the invitation to contest its three major events: the Tour de France , the Criterium de Dauphiné and the Paris-Nice .
