Guillaume Larbeyou's message:
“Guillaume, I’m originally from the Pyrenees, and I’ve been competing in the Enduro World Series since 2018.
After a few years competing in downhill mountain biking, I earned my BPJEPS certification to become an instructor. It was during this time that I discovered enduro racing. Since then, I’ve turned professional with two different teams, achieving several podium finishes in the French Championship, a top 10 in the 2020 World Cup, and an 18th place overall in the 2022 World Cup standings.
Now, I’m dedicating more time to guiding and coaching in mountain biking to share my racing experience and expertise. I have a deep passion for this sport, and during our sessions, I’ll analyze your position and lines in detail before picking up the pace.”
