The rider from Albertville, France, joined the team at the start of 2025 and in the last 18 months we’ve seen Alex build on some promising performances and develop into one of the most exciting riders in the peloton.

His talents were on show on stage 1 of the Tour Auvergne - Rhône-Alpes, where he spent 124km in the break before holding off a group of GC contenders to take the biggest win of his young career.

Alex's results in early June came off the back of a solid spring campaign that included top-ten GC finishes at Paris-Nice and Itzulia Basque Country.

Alex has carried that form to the Tour de France. He spent three days in the King of the Mountains jersey and finished fourth on stage 9 after a long day in the break.

“I’ve always felt welcome in this team, since the moment I arrived. It took a bit of time to adapt to a new group, but I think that we have something really amazing in this team. My first two years on this team didn’t feel like enough, and I really wanted to stay. For me, this team is unique. It’s the way that we race, the way that we make our tactics, and the group that we have is truly special. We have so much fun all the time at training camps and at races. We can see that, compared to other teams, we have something special in our dynamic. You could notice that on stage 1 of the Tour Auvergne - Rhône-Alpes. No other team had the plan to try and get everyone working towards being in the break. That’s why I won, because of the way that we do things at EF Education-EasyPost and I love it,” Alex said.

Alex came to the team as a promising rider with significant potential. Team CEO Jonathan Vaughters has been impressed by Alex, both on and off the bike.

“Alex embodies what EF Pro Cycling is all about. He’s hardworking, resilient, and never afraid to take the race to the peloton. He’s earned this extension through his dedication, his constant progression, and by being the kind of teammate everyone enjoys having around. We believe he’s only scratching the surface of what he’s capable of, and everything we’ve seen suggests he has a very bright future ahead of him,” Jonathan said.

His results this year have demonstrated that he’s now finding his groove and coming into his own within the WorldTour. He believes that much of his development has been down to the independence and opportunities that the sports directors have given him.

“From the very start I felt like this team has given me a lot of freedom, and I think that’s what I’ve needed in order to perform. I have a really good relationship with my coach, and we have open discussions about all aspects of my training. I feel like I can talk to him, and have a really good relationship where we can both talk freely. That’s helped me make a really big step this year,” Alex said.

While Alex appreciates his freedom to grow, he’s also embraced the responsibility that comes with being a leader on the team.

“We don’t have one big leader who takes all the opportunities, and I like that. I think I’ve started to show the team can rely on me to deliver results, and I want to continue on this path with EF Education-EasyPost. I want to perform for myself, but I also like to work for others because what goes around comes around, and we have such an amazing team spirit,” Alex said.
