Biography

Professional since 2000, it remains faithful to the team “Crédit Agricole”.

Although being before a whole sprinter, it is a rather complete runner as shows it its victory with the prolog of the turn 2006 (against the watch) or of Ghent-Wevelgem (paved race) the same year. There remains however limited when the road rises, that due in particular to its big size and its high weight (which however enables him to be a wheeler with remarkable capacities of endurance).
