    Biography

    Dupont has dabbled in mountain biking and cyclocross, but it’s climbing that’s his true passion. Inspired by France’s long tradition of climbers, Dupont aims to someday challenge such races as the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France. In 2006, he showed promise by taking the climber’s jersey at the hilly Tour of the Basque Country.
