Amazing career. Didn’t expect it but he won’t ride for free ofcourse. Always reminds me of this leap he did during timepractice in Lommel few years ago. Only did it once or twice. Very impressive rider

I was lucky enough to witness that huge jump, everyone looked at each other in disbelief, on another visit I bumped into him in Lommel town centre and had a quick chat with him, he’s had a very good career.

I remember reading some years ago, before France's MXdN streak, that the French government has a big role in talent development for their athletes. If a kid shows promise then they will help get them on the right program to go pro.

I'm paraphrasing, but I remember something like "soon France will be dominating the motocross scene and others will be falling behind" due to this interest from the higher levels. If I find the article ill post it.. hell it might have been a vital thread but I dont know exactly.

Edit: this wasn't just for motocross, if I'm recalling correctly

Total badass on the bike and always rose to the occasion representing his Country in the Moto D as others have said.

The FFM bought tracks to keep the sport alive in France.
