What toys does the 28 times Trial World Champion have in his garage ? “ Obviously my favorite toy is my trial bike , but I also have bikes . Here is only one because we have rollers upstairs to train . Neither can skis or snowboard be missing ”.
What is the first thing you do when you get home from a Grand Prix ? “ Like every athlete and pilot , I want to disconnect and I try to go for a ride in the mountains with Esther , tell her how the weekend went , also with the dogs … It is a way to disconnect .”
Do people usually recognize you ? Do they stop you on the street ? “ The truth is that a little . More and more , with so many titles . But in the end , the trial is a minority sport , they recognize you for what you are doing without being annoying and I think it is the positive part of this sport ”. How many trophies do you think you have ? “ The truth is that many . They are many years competing . Here I have some of X-Trial , with the last World Champion gold medal , and the last ones we have achieved in recent years . I have many of them distributed around a museum , also in Honda and at my parents ’ house ”.
Do you ever plan to have a museum ? “ The truth is that I would like to , but that ’ s when my sports career is over .”
Your favorite place in the house ? “ My favorite place is the living room . It is where I disconnect the most , the place where I spend the most hours . I like being here because when you come home from your trips , it is very appreciated to have a place where you can disconnect and be super quiet ”.
