Rémi made a strong start in the 2015 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano, notably with a podium place in the third round in Leogang. After crashing hard and injuring his ankle during practice in Mont-Sainte-Anne in July, Rémi decided to take time to recover and focus on the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships where he finished in the top 10. The Frenchman is certainly one of the most stylish riders on the circuit and we look forward to seeing him back in action next year! Let’s get to know him.
