How did you get into cycling?

I did a lot of bmx and mtb when I was younger but only started riding a road bike after seeing the 1995 Tour de France by chance in Grand Bornand. I took it up 1996, taking a break

from 2005 to 2010.

 Your best memory or a memorable moment in your career?

My best memory is of my junior years and especially my trip to Canada in that first junior year with a team of friends. It was unforgettable.

Why did you decide to become G4 ambassador G4? What are you going to do for G4?

I wanted to become a brand ambassador because first of all I really like the style of the G4 collections. I knew Geoffroy when I was younger, we spent some time together and he’s a bit of a role model for me, so I will be very proud to wear and represent his brand. I can bring greater brand visibility in the professional world than that enjoyed by the brands which support individual teams. I also hope to participate in product development. I can test the kit in extreme conditions (lots of miles in all weather conditions). I can also build brand awareness in my home region of Franche Comté, especially with my cycling club, CC Etupes Division1, with whom I’m licensed, and with other cyclists with whom I train.
