‘Le Coursier’ can be translated loosely as both a bicycle messenger and a cyclist. It goes some way to describing how Marin de Saint-Exupéry spends his life outside on his bike, working as a courier, training in the mountains and riding long distance races.
We followed Marin over the course of 2023, to understand more about an individual who has become known and admired in the ultra-distance bike racing community for the way he approaches the sport.
Le Coursier is a story about living life on the bike, and how sometimes as cyclists we set ourselves goals that can lead to us losing sight of why we choose to ride.

Fantastic Film I shall watch out for Marin in future .
Great move and love his view on cycling and racing
Fantàstic film. Well don Finley. And congratulations to Albion for supporting Marin fully in his fresh vision for this sport. Oh and Marin for being awesome.
Nicely done 👏
Goooood film and very nice soundtrack.
Best of luck to Marin in 2024

Awesome film!
El Fatch 🤌
Really inspiring! Good luck with 24’ endeavours 😉
Great movie, thanks for that Finley…👏🏽👌🏾👍🏽😉
Next level riding your bike across a continent to attend a long distance race. It’s cool to see that he actually takes action when caring for the environment
Quietly heroic. My son and his friends have him as a role model and I must say I approve.
No words to express. Simply I wish him well. His spirit of adventure and empathy with nature should take him far,not just physically but spiritually too.
Wow… need a bit of inspiration to get out on your bike ⬆⬆⬆
Fabuloso.
Chapeau, one of the best pieces of cycling content I've watched in a long time.
I'm a coursier as well and that man is our god.
Glad to have come across this.
I would love to do what he does….but with hotels and cafe's..😁✌️…Great film 👍
go ahead make my day
Fantastic content and very inspiring in more ways than one! A very admirable guy. His views on life & the environment are very refreshing and something the world could do with more!
wonderfully shot, edited and soundtracked. Great message too. Chapeau Marin, Finley, Builders Tea and Rupert.
Fantastic. Merci.
Bravo! Exceptional film about an exceptional guy.
Love your videos! keep goin!
Great film 🤩
Beautiful portrait, loved seeing this!
What an inspiration. To do all that without a smartphone is quite amazing. I cycled across the States this summer and wonder how different it might've been without one.
Love the Project Finley!!
Fabulous film. He’s some guy!
Have always loved all the films you guys put out and been eagerly waiting for a new one. This is definitely the best one yet.
