Likes the speed. (codesport.fr, 5 Feb 2014)

"We are going to have more fun than in 2018 (at Beijing 2022). We arrive with more experience, with more expectations too, of course. But, following our two major injury problems over the past four years, the objective is to move forward without pain. We know what we are capable of when there is no pain, and when everything is going well. We haven't had many races where everything went the way we wanted, so we don't have any targets."

Milestones

With his sixth-place finish at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games (with brakeman Boris Vain), he recorded Monaco's highest finish in Olympic Games history (summer or winter).

At the Innsbruck 2012 Winter Youth Olympic Games, he and brakeman Jeremy Torre won Monaco's only Olympic medal. The Monegasques, finishing behind champions Italy and runners up Austria, were 0.17 seconds out of the gold-medal position.

Two top-10 World Championships results in the two-man in 2017 (10th) and 2019 (ninth).

Finished fourth twice in the two-man in back-to-back Junior World Championships (2015, 2016), 0.75 seconds from the top of the podium and 0.07 seconds from the bronze medal in 2016 (Winterberg).

Broke into the World Cup top-10 finishing ninth in four-man in 2017 (Innsbruck), with a best result of fourth in 2019 (St. Moritz).
