Crédit Mutuel Arkéa is the main sponsor of the professional cycling team Arkéa-B&B Hôtels, which competes in the World Tour.
Following its subsidiary Fortuneo, the group embodies the constant quest for progress within the professional peloton. With a forward-looking vision, the team is committed to fostering the emergence of new talents through a development program.
In addition to a men's and a women's team, a men's continental team completes the formation, marking a significant milestone in its progression.
Committed for the Long Term
For several years, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa has demonstrated a strong commitment to cycling, a sport deeply rooted in the regions and very popular with the public.
After Fortuneo Banque, the cycling teams now race under the Crédit Mutuel Arkéa banner.
To promote the team and cycling in general, Crédit Mutuel Arkéa also organizes unifying events like supporter days, bringing together clients, employees, administrators, clubs, and enthusiasts.
Initiatives such as the 'Arkéa Ride', autograph sessions, and activities for children enrich these gatherings, strengthening the bonds between Crédit Mutuel Arkéa and its communities.
By committing to cycling, the group shows a strong desire to support a sport that embodies values of determination, diversity, and regional development. This commitment reflects not only Crédit Mutuel Arkéa's passion for sports but also its ambition to promote healthy and sustainable lifestyles, while contributing to the prominence of Brittany.
Progressing Together
Crédit Mutuel Arkéa promotes Breton cycling in collaboration with another regional player: B&B Hôtels. This partnership includes three teams: a men’s team (World Tour), a women’s team, and a men’s development team.
In the men’s category, the Arkéa B&B Hôtels team is one of the most prominent in the Brittany region, committed to its roots while embracing an international outlook. The team members share the group’s entrepreneurial spirit, fostering the emergence of new talents.
In addition to the men's team, Arkéa B&B Hôtels has a "men’s development" team dedicated to training young cyclists. This structure supports their progression across various circuits and disciplines, with the ambition of nurturing the sports stars of tomorrow while bolstering the main team’s development. Crédit Mutuel Arkéa has similar ambitions for its women’s team: to build for the long term through gradual growth, grounded in hard work, humility, and the audacity of its riders. This commitment is evident in the successive invitations, since 2021, of the Arkéa B&B Hôtels women’s team to the Tour de France Femmes. This dedication perfectly embodies the group’s ambitions for promoting gender diversity.
