Thibaut started cycling when he was 8. Step by step, he ended up being one of the best junior French riders as a member of the AC Bisontine. As a U23 rider, he stayed in the region and joined the CC Etupes club. He is a completely made in Franche-comté rider that always stays connected to his roots. He still lives in Mélisey where he was born – his father is the mayor of the village. The hilly area of Haute-Saône is a perfect playground for this rider that will always prefer a great steep hill to a flat road. The Plateau des Mille Etangs (Thibaut owns one of them!) allows him to give himself to his other passion: fishing. Thibaut is a nature lover, a “campaign boy” … Cycling was the perfect sport for him!
However, his child dream was to become a professional football player! As a PSG fan, he often goes to the Parc des Princes to support his team but he also loves to travel all over Europe to discover other mythic stadiums. Obviously, the Thibaut Pinot you know best is the one wearing a jersey and shorts! 3rd on the Tour de France 2014, winner in l’Alpe d’Huez in 2015 and French Vélo d’Or the same year, he is about to reach his best years and still have many things to show us 😉
