The statement is sober, on the team’s Twitter account: “Team TotalEnergies has reached an agreement with the rider Alexandre Geniez to end his contract. To date, he is no longer part of the TotalEnergies team” .
The Aveyron runner was sentenced last March by the Rodez court for domestic violence. But nothing says for the moment that there is a link with this breach of contract. In the columns of the newspaper L’Equipe, Jean-René Bernaudeau, manager of the Total Energies team, recalled the presumption of innocence before making a decision.
