Biography

One of the veterans on the team, all of Ludovic’s successes have come on French roads. A solid climber who can also go on the attack on hilly terrain, he can step up with the occasional big wins. Perhaps his biggest was when he won stage 5 in the Dauphiné Libéré in 2006 only to crash out the next day with a broken femur. A snapped clavicle while training in January will delay his 2008 debut.
