What kind of training is your favorite one?
The one with nice landscapes or the one that allows me to sleep in less than 2 seconds after.
What hobbies do you have?
I enjoy trying new things and new sports, but mountain biking is a sport a like for a long time.
How would a perfect summer holiday look like for you?
I can be everywhere, as long as there are great people with me.
What is your favorite drink?
It depends on the moment of the year and the day ! An Amaretto Sour for an April evening, but a Perrier Citron after a long training during summer :)
Are there special histories behind your tattoos?
Few of them have a special meaning. I don’t really like talking about them. I just like remembering the moment I got each one — especially who was there with me. I think what I love most is that tattoos don’t need words. Maybe that’s why I think it is unnecessary to explain them.
Do you have any motto?
I don’t have a special one, and I have a great ability to forget the best mottos I have think about, but here is one I like: Everything that shines isn’t always goanna be gold.
