Biography

Along with brother Damian, Jean-Patrick has one of the best top-end sprints in the French peloton when he’s healthy and motivated. Damian is known for being fearless while Jean-Patrick has been riddled with injuries and a sometimes less-than-killer instinct. Still, he’s one of the most successful riders on the team and can still be a force in the sprints when all cylinders are firing.
