The double world champion remains French cycling's great showman, and at Tudor he has licence to race on pure instinct. His 2025 season with the Swiss squad yielded a GP de Québec win and an agonising third place on stage 15 of the Tour. In 2026 he headlines Tudor's all-in stage-hunting mission alongside Marc Hirschi, targeting the punchy, nervous finishes this Barcelona-to-Paris route serves up.
