Founder of Baroudeur Cycling, a travel agency specializing in road and gravel cycling tours in France and across Europe. Passionate about both travel and cycling, I’ve been fortunate to combine these two loves throughout my professional career.
Over my 11 years racing at the highest level, I took part in 4 Tours de France, 2 Vueltas, and all of cycling’s Monuments. I claimed several Tour de France combativity awards and notched 5 professional victories, including a stage win at Paris–Nice. These experiences shaped me and showed me that cycling is far more than a sport—it’s a true way of life.
After living five years in Portugal—a country I fell in love with—I relish packing my bags, riding all day long, and stopping at local restaurants to savor regional cuisine. It’s this kind of authentic adventure that I aim to share through Baroudeur Cycling.
Certified as a cycling coach and proudly sponsored by Giant, I love passing on my passion and expertise to everyone eager to discover cycling from a fresh perspective. My mission is to deliver unforgettable experiences that emphasize pleasure, discovery, and performance.
