Unlike many others, I didn't start cycling at a very young age. I discovered cycling at 15, simply by watching the Tour de France on television. My mother is Slovakian, and at home we were big fans of Peter Sagan. He was really the one who made me want to get on a bike. I liked his style, his way of racing, his panache. Watching him made me want to try it myself, to understand the sport and experience those sensations.

So I started at the Annemasse Cycling Club. I quickly got hooked. It wasn't just something to keep me busy: I wanted to improve, to get involved, to learn. Cycling quickly became an important part of my daily life.

After starting out in Annemasse, I joined the N1 team in Chambéry. It was an important step, with a higher level and a more structured approach to training and competition.I learned a lot there, both on a sporting and personal level: how to manage pressure, how to string races together, how to progress as part of a team.

In August 2025, I joined the Cofidis team. It was a big moment for me. Turning professional and signing my first contract was something I hadn't necessarily imagined when I started cycling. Everything happened gradually, step by step.

Yes, without hesitation, my victory in the French Cup N1 in Guégon.
It was my very first victory on the bike, and of course, it left a mark. That day, I felt something very powerful. It was a real turning point, a confirmation that the work I had done up to that point was heading in the right direction.
That victory gave me a lot of confidence. It allowed me to tell myself that I was capable of winning, of imposing myself, and that I could legitimately believe in this sporting project.

It's a huge source of pride. Wearing the Cofidis jersey is, above all, my first professional contract, and therefore a dream come true. When you start cycling a little later than others, you never really know how far it can take you. Today, being in this team is a form of recognition for the journey I've taken and the work I've accomplished.

I am studying engineering at INSA, in a sports programme that allows for academic adjustments. Without that, it would be very difficult.
Balancing studies and cycling requires a lot of organisation. As soon as you fall a little behind at school, everything can quickly snowball and become difficult to manage, both academically and athletically.
So you have to plan ahead, be rigorous and very structured. For now, I'm managing to do both, but it's still a fragile balance that requires a lot of daily commitment.
I don't have much time to develop a real passion outside of cycling and studying. My days are already very full.
But I do enjoy cooking, especially cakes. Nothing too complicated, but I like to make a good banana bread, for example. It's a simple, calm moment that allows me to think about something else.

No, not really. I'm not a very ritualistic person.
I don't really like to think that you absolutely have to do things the same way, put on a pair of socks or follow a specific routine. I prefer to stay natural, adapt to how I feel and approach each race as it comes.
The same goes for music, I prefer to stay focused, calm, in my own bubble, without necessarily needing anything to motivate me or get me in the mood.

Yes, in Haute-Savoie, at my parents' house.
With school, travelling and the pace of competitions, it's the place where I recharge my batteries the most. It's a familiar, peaceful environment that allows me to train well and refocus.
