Prologue

Seen and heard in Taiwan
«I've always had a bicycle at home. In fact, I'd like to take advantage of my presence here to ask the industry to create models that are easier to transport and store, and with parts that are easy to change,» stressed Tsai Ing-wen in the large Nangang exhibition center in Taipei. The President of the Republic of China (not to be confused with the People's Republic of China, her more conquering neighbor) has been directing Taiwan's destiny since 2016, and is particularly interested in the world of bicycles. It was she who came to cut the ribbon at Taipei Cycle, Asia's biggest cycling industry event.


My influencers

I unroll the thread of my cycling biography, highlighting the importance of the people who have crossed my path and contributed to my trajectory on two wheels. A tribute to those who have inspired me in the practice of what I consider the most beautiful, noble and demanding of all sports.
Patrick Bédard and Jacques Drouin
