Hi everyone, so who am I in a few lines? I am a former professional cyclist, reconverted into a TV consultant on Eurosport in particular. I am the happy founder of the Cross Team Legendre and today a full time cyclo-crossman

But above all, I am the proud father of two wonderful children.

Ambition, Ambiance, Performance, I think that fits us well.

I started when I was 6 years old, by chance. Basically, I had to play soccer. One Wednesday I passed a cycling school with lots of kids spinning around the pins.

I really liked the idea so I asked to try it... and here is the result a few years later.

My head is full of them! Of course the trips all over the world, but especially the emotions that cycling gives me: the pleasure of raising my arms when I win for example. The anecdotes, race facts also.

Last but not least, I really enjoy talking with our supporters, taking pictures... these are great moments to share.

The CX World Championships, without a doubt, are important dates that punctuate our seasons and our preparation.

Do you have any passions outside of cycling ?

All sports !!! I'm a sports freak! But absolutely all sports, even the craziest ones (snooker, chess...)

I have a lot of them and I even wonder if I wouldn't write a book to tell the life of a runner...

A little word for the people who support you ?

Thank you again and again! Im believe that one day I will able to thank you for my results.

Hi, my name is Gilles, I'm Swiss, I'm 25 years old, and I'm a member of Cross Team Legendre since June 2021.

I started cycling when I was 14-15 years old, in small regional races around my home. Of course, I had been cycling since I was a kid, but it was never my sport.

During the Swiss championships in Sion, very close to my home, I won the bronze medal in the U23 category, in front of my family, my friends and many acquaintances.

The World Cup in Namur, for its cobblestones, its descents, its atmosphere, and its fries!

In the team I'm also known as the "Great Swiss".

I like everything related to astronomy, mountains, but also the creation of small electronic projects.

When we were in training camp with Steve in Nice, almost every ride ended with a waffle or a Nutella pancake. During the next race weekend, we were teased by his colleagues on Eurosport throughout the race for our "addiction" to Nutella ;-)

Hi I am Timon Rüegg, a small guy from Switzerland. Sometimes I ride my bike fast, living the dream as a professional Cyclist. 

I started this cycling thing around 2012, before I play soccer in a local club.

Punchy, never stressed, bad weather doesn’t kill my mood 

The Cyclocross Worldchampionships in Dübendorf Switzerland 2020. The race was only 20km away from where I grow up. The Atmosphere was insane, so many swiss fans were supporting us. I had Goosebumps at the startline, nearly tears in my eyes. Oke stop it now ☺  

I was positive surprised by the whole CX Coupe de France Series. Always great tracks and excited racing.  

Yes, there are a few ones, Skimountaineering, Coffee and baking bread, hanging out with friends. 

There are a lot of great stories ;) come to a race, get in touch and you will understand 

I am proud of what we achieved with CTL in this short time. We have great sponsors and I am just thankful to ride for such a great team. Merci beaucoup

Can you introduce yourself in a few lines ?

Hello, my name is Antoine Huby, I am 21 years old. I come from Uzel, a small town in central Brittany (yes, pure Breton). I have 2 brothers and a sister and I am the eldest.

I started cycling at the cyclo club Uzelais in my first year as a pre-licensee when I was 4 years old.

I am a cyclo-cross man, I also like road races with a profile of puncheur / climber. 

My best memories are my 3 French cyclo-cross titles.

In cyclo-cross : the world cup in Namur 

In road : the Alsace tour (the race where I have performed the most for the moment).

To avoid being contaminated by the Covid at the beginning of the pandemic, the team decided to confine the whole team to the race department. A sort of isolation bubble that allowed us to continue racing for a while.

I would simply like to thank all the people who support me, they are precious to me in the best moments as well as in the less good ones.

I was born in Haute Savoie and then I moved to the Ain. I just graduated from the Bac S and in September I entered a DUT in Thermal and Energy Engineering in Bourg-en-Bresse.

This year I'm joining Cross Team Legendre!

Dream, Good atmosphere, Professionalism  

What are your expectations in joining the Team?

I think that the Team can help me to approach the races more correctly (reconnaissance, race placement), to better identify the key points of the circuit and to teach me to better manage myself during the race (emotions...)

And of course, the help and material support to perform on all the dates of the calendar.

Finally, I think I can gain even more in training and nutrition... to perform even better.

At what age did you start cycling? And how did you get there?

I started cycling competitively when I was 8 years old. I was already cycling around the house. Later, while watching the Tour De France on TV, I wanted to become a pro too, so I tried to compete, I was quickly hooked and I'm lucky because the results followed.

My first World Cup podium in Namur in 2019. It was my favorite race and I wanted to perform there at all costs. It was a difficult course with slopes and very muddy which suited me well.

And my second place in Nomay, it was incredible to win a world cup at home! I had gained a place compared to Namur, I felt that the work paid off.

As I said, I particularly like Namur, it's an incredible race with a circuit that I particularly like and that corresponds to me the best.

I would like to ride in Paris Roubaix or the Tour of Flanders, the cobblestones are monuments that I want to face.

I like to spend time with my friends and my girlfriend, but otherwise I'm lucky to be able to live my passion for cycling to the fullest.

It was my first road race, as a pupil 2. I was alone in a breakaway.

When I passed the finish line, I heard the bell and I stopped in euphoria thinking I had finished. It was my mother who told me to go back, fortunately I still won the race.
