SIMON PELLAUD

Simon is a tenured road racer with four Grand Tour finishes to his name prior to making the switch to gravel in 2025. He immediately impressed, coming second at Unbound, third at Leadville, and finishing second overall in the Lifetime Grand Prix. Alongside his impressive North American results, he also claimed second overall at Gravel Burn in South Africa (winning a stage along the way!), and won Transcordilleras in Colombia.

I have always been an attacking rider and a free spirit in the peloton. Whether I am lining up for a road race or a massive gravel event, I like to race aggressively and rely on long range attacks. I carry a certain nostalgia for a more human approach to cycling, where the journey is just as important as the race itself.
My motto "I Ride the Line" perfectly translates my desire to discover the world through cycling. I approach my sport with a constant focus on performance, simplicity, and adventure. My goal is to fight for the top spots on the international gravel scene, but always with the intention of sharing a passion that goes far beyond pure competition.
