While attempting to impact the cycling community throughout several charities adventures, Francois is still racing hard at Elite level in Europe and in the US now, training others or organizing cycling adventures on all terrain in order to explore his sociocultural environment while challenging his physical and psychological limits.
Whether it’s the World Cup U23 Paris-Tours in France in his early career, UCI Gravel World Championship in 2023 or Bikepacking Gravel adventures in several parts of the world such as Colombia, Mexico or Europe, Francois is an adventurer at heart and embraces the impact of the psychological side of the performance.
Pedagogy is a huge part of his work when it comes to make sure that each athlete expresses their feelings in order to achieve their goals. With influences as Frederic Grappe, actual Head of Performance at Team Groupama-FDJ, who was one of his teacher in college in France, he will take time to explain the meaning of each workout’s sessions or training’s blocks.
Racing is complex and it is not only related to physical abilities. His three decades of racing will help you to define the best strategy to use depending on the events.
Harnessing the power of WKO5 and TrainingPeaks, Francois will get you dialed in.
