I started endurance sport in 2012 as a triathlete racing up to Ironman distance. In 2016 after a year of bike packing across Canada, I discovered myself a passion for long distance cycling. As an avid traveler, I realized that ultra distance cycling events could combine competition and exploration.

As a result in 2018, I challenged myself to race the longest bike race at that time : the Trans America Bike Race, a grueling 7.000km event, crossing the USA from west to east. I completed this race in 26days, covering approximately 260km a day. This opened a all new world of possibilities to me and the same year I competed in two Bikingman events, allowing myself to be ranked 9th overall on the whole series. Being the only Belgian elite athlete on the circuit, I had the opportunity to work directly with the Bikingman organization to represent them as their only Belgian ambassador.

2019 is about to end and I am happily closing this second season as an elite ultra distance cyclist, having raced some of the Bikingman series: Oman, Laos & Corsica, alongside with longer famous events such as the Trans Continental race or the Trans Pyrenees Race.

Today, Ultra distance cycling became my daily life and profession, as an athlete but also working to promote this sport and his value of challenges, mental strength and curiosity to discover the world. This why, if you are looking for advises on Ultra cycling, races or gears, I am always happy to help you find your way and meet your personal goals in this emerging discipline.
