In 2018, he was recruited over Facebook by Max Robert, bronze medallist in the four-man at the Nagano 1998 Olympic Winter Games, who was impressed by his 60 metre times. Laporal's athletics coach also encouraged him to try bobsleigh. "He said to me, 'Go for it, go for it. You have a chance, you must not miss it.'" (la1ere.francetvinfo.fr, 25 Jan 2019)

"It takes enormous concentration at the start - the soul of a warrior, not asking questions, and smashing the trail like a Viking." (lavoixdunord.fr, 1 Jan 2019)
