Biography
Valentin is the latest Frenchman to join our team. A strong climber, the 23-year-old from Annemasse turned pro in 2022, and has since racked up a series of noteworthy results. The most important of these came at last year’s Giro d’Italia, when he took a remarkable solo victory from a large breakaway group on the summit finish of Bocca della Selva, in the southern Apennines. It was his maiden pro win, and it came after some solid outings in the first months of the season, such as an eighth place at the Tour Down Under and fourth overall in the Tour of the Alps.
“I’m very happy to join the team for the next two years. I’ve always admired this team and watched it write history in some of the biggest races in the world. I remember Tom Boonen winning Paris-Roubaix numerous times in this jersey or Philippe Gilbert taking those memorable victories in Roubaix and De Ronde. It’s a legendary team with a lot of history and tradition and I’m proud that I will be part of it in the next two seasons.”
“My goal is to continue to develop and gain experience in stage races, especially from someone like Mikel Landa. I’m also ready to help whenever I will be needed on the climbs. I would like to be one of the strongest guys in the mountains for my team in a race like the Tour de France, which I would like to discover, but I’m also aiming for a top ten in week-long stage races”, an excited Valentin said.
