Thierry Peponnet steps down from FRA 93's afterguard and hands over to Tanguy Cariou. Former helmsman of Areva Challenge, Peponnet was replaced by Sébastien Col in July last year and now feels an "important" move was needed in the afterguard to counteract the team's average results in Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 13. Thierry Peponnet will continue working with the team alongside coach Fabrice Levet in performance analysis.
