I started out playing football before damaging my cruciate ligaments at the age of 14. For my rehabilitation, I had to choose between swimming and cycling. I chose cycling and immediately loved it. At first, I started out in my football kit, going on rides with “cyclists”. Then I joined a club and gradually worked my way up the ranks."

For a long time, I didn't have any because I was still a big fan of football and Cristiano Ronaldo! I didn't have any cyclists as role models either. However, when I was in Israël Start-Up Nation, I had the chance to race and train with André Greipel and Christopher Froome. I was impressed by their work ethic and dedication... It was really inspiring!" 

"I'm surprised to realise that I've been a professional for seven years now. In the off-season, I prepare my bike with the same enthusiasm as ever. I enjoy discovering the programme and the new kit... It's like going back to school. The day I no longer feel that desire, that pleasure, I know it will be time to stop. It's too tough a sport to do without enjoying it!"

"I really enjoy cooking! Every winter, I take a cooking class with renowned chefs to improve my skills. I love fresh produce and good food, and I also do a bit of baking... I think when you cycle, you enjoy eating well!"

‘Without a doubt, Cap Fréhel! It's near Saint-Malo, a rocky point jutting out into the sea. For me, it's a magnificent place, one of the best views from the Armorican coast. And even if it's sometimes windy, it's very pleasant to cycle there!’
