ArkĂ©a–B&B Hotels
Current season

ArkĂ©a–B&B Hotels is a UCI WorldTeam cycling team based in Rennes, France. After the team won enough points during the 2020–2022 seasons, the team was promoted from its prior status as a UCI ProTeam and now has automatic entry into all UCI World Tour races. [4] Prior to 2023, the team participated in UCI Continental Circuits races and UCI World Tour races when receiving a wild card.

History

The team was founded in 2005. [5]

In 2014 they received a wildcard invitation to the 2014 Tour de France. [6] In September 2014, the team announced they had formed a partnership with the amateur cycling team Brest Iroise Cyclisme 2000 (BIC 2000) to act as its reserve team. [7] The team took part in the 2015 Tour de France and again in 2016, having been selected as a wildcard once again. [8]

For 2016 and 2017 the team was named Fortuneo Vital Concept. [9] [10] On 1 June 2017 Vital Concept announced that it would cease sponsorship after 30 June. Oscaro stepped in as naming sponsor and the team became known as Fortuneo–Oscaro from 1 July. [11] After six months Oscaro stepped aside, being replaced by Samsic [ fr], with both naming sponsors signing deals through to the end of the 2020 season. [12]

For the 2018 season onwards, the team signed the WorldTour rider Warren Barguil and built the team around him. The team is running under the name of ArkĂ©a–Samsic starting with the 2019 season. [3] For the 2020 season, the team signed former Movistar rider Nairo Quintana. [13]

The team launched a women's team in 2020. [14]

Incidents

After the 2020 Tour de France, it was announced that an investigation into Arkéa-Samsic had been started due to suspected doping. [15] French prosecutors said there was a "discovery of many health products including drugs (...) and especially a method that could be qualified as doping." [16]
