General Interest

General
FOCUS ON TRACK
He has competed regularly in road cycling, especially the time trial event, but he is focusing on track cycling ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. "I think that I need to focus only on the track. Doing both disciplines at the Games would mean missing something. In France there is a big pool of riders who could perform at the Olympic Games, so there's no need to embrace everything. The level is so high. It will be only the track for me. The road will be for preparation." (cyclismeactu.net, 18 Jan 2020; directvelo.com, 25 Sep 2019)

TRAINING ACCIDENT
While training in Italy in May 2019, his bicycle was hit by a car travelling 60km per hour and he was thrown to the ground. His bike was destroyed, but he was not injured. "Nothing broken, just some scratches." (lequipe.fr, 22 May 2019; larochesuryon.maville.com, 21 May 2019; cyclismactu.net, 21 May 2019)
