The reigning French time trial champion is Visma's marquee 2026 signing, arriving from Decathlon AG2R in the same transfer window that sent sprinter Olav Kooij the other way. A diesel from Tarbes at the foot of the Pyrenees, he brings raw wattage for the Barcelona team time trial and tireless tempo-setting in the valleys. His stint in the 2023 Giro's maglia rosa proved this workhorse can shine on the biggest stage.
