Catavana–AS Corbeil–Essonnes–Cedico

Catavana–AS Corbeil–Essonnes–Cedico was a French professional road cycling team that existed only for the 1994 season.[1] Sean Kelly notably rode for the team for his final professional season. Marc Madiot the main directeur sportif of UCI WorldTeam Groupama–FDJ also ended his career at Catavana.[2]

The team was established by successful amateur team AS Corbeil–Essonnes, who wanted to create a new professional team. Catavana, a garden tool company, was the main sponsor of the team. Another major sponsor was supermarket chain Cédico.[3]
