One of the last romantics of cycling. A rider of instinct whose desire of freedom has always been bigger than his ambitions.
His career has been full of ups and downs. A different cyclist, a different man. A familiar, shy person, who prefers to spend his time on his farm, surrounded by animals, than attending to the press after a hard stage crossing the Alps.
A man who found in the bicycle his way of expression, his way of finding freedom. A freedom that, within professional cycling, he almost never had.
He´s seen as someone who is fragile, who has anxieties, fears. But when you scratch deep enough, he´s actually one of the riders who goes the furthest into suffering.
One of the most beloved French cyclists in the peloton leaves professional cycling this season, after a career full of successes, failures, injuries and, above all, great feats.
