Other sports:

He has represented France in Para duathlon, and claimed gold in the TRI-6 category at the 2012 World Championships in Nancy, France. (triathlon.org, 22 Sep 2012; triathlete.fr, 23 Sep 2012)

He played football before switching to cycling once he lost his sight. "In just six months, it was like I had started living in a fog. I began riding a bike so I could see other things. What helped me the most in cycling was my previous occupation [as a bricklayer]. As it was not an easy job, that built me up." (france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr, 29 May 2020; leparisien.fr, 12 Mar 2020)

In 2013 he received the Male Sport and Handicap Award at the Sports Awards Gala of the Central region in France. (fleuryloirethandball.com, 11 Oct 2013)
