"I'm so stoked to sign for COMMENCAL VEE for 2022 alongside Matteo, Raph, Siel and Tom. It’s been a few years now that I have been racing World Cups as a privateer, so to join a factory team for the first time is something that I'm really thankful for. Having fun on my bike, being consistent in the World Cup and aiming for top 20 is my goal for this upcoming season. Big thanks to Matteo and all the crew from COMMENCAL for having me, 2022 let's GO!!!"

My objective this year is to qualify at Lourdes WC and to be close to the top 5 at the Megavalanche and the MOH. Thank you Matteo for believing in me I will give my best! Cheers guys!"
