Athlete talk
What is your all-time favourite riding destination?
I am so chauvinistic… Les Vosges of course! In fact I also love to ride in Chile and around Seattle and Vancouver. These places are rad!
What "No Shortcuts" means to you
Do not wonder too much, just ride as fast as possible. Too late to make a U-turn.
What do you get up to when you’re not doing bikes?
Working at my office for the team or my MTB agency IRWEGO, trying to be a good dad, and when I can, skiing and riding motocross.
Outside of cycling, where do you draw inspiration from?
The ski or the mountain world in general inspire me.
You’re stranded on a desert island. What three things would you want with you?
My wife, my baby girl and… my new Spark (a bike which can ridden in all conditions).
If you could put up a billboard to be seen by countless people every day, what would you put on it?
Enjoy life and don't waste too much time with trivial things.
