(He is the next Pierre Latour and the old Aurélien Paret-Peintre, who's the old Clément Champoussin, who's the old Matteo Jorgenson, who might be the old Damian Touzé)
Being a fan of biathlon I have liked this guy, ever since he won in Antholz/Anterselva last year. I was rooting for Chaves that day, but he just kept his advantage and even managed to increase the gap at the end.
In this year's Tour he gave Zakarin a masterclass in descending and conquered Peyresourde on his own.
He didn't have the same legs/luck in the Vuelta, but he came close on the stage, that Woods won. In between he worked hard for Alaphilippe in Imola.
He'll propably never be a GC contender, but that doesn't matter. When he's at his best, he's definitely not a man, you would like to be up against in a break. He can attack, he can climb, he can descend, and he can win in style.
Tour de Nans:
Born March 12 (Pisces) 1994 in Monestier-du-Percy/Grenoble/Isère
177 cm, 70 kg
Max HR: 182 bpm
HR rest: 36 bpm
VO2 max: 76 mL/(min·kg)
He's named after a French soap opera from the 70s about a sheperd from Provence, set in the 19th century, He doesn't think, he has the required mindset to breed animals himself though.
His paternal grandparents were Dutch.
He enjoys cross-country skiing and is good friends with Émilien Jacquelin, who won the pursuit title at the biathlon WC in Antholz/Anterselva back in february.
He has raced on four continents.
His older brother Leo got him interested in cycling. Leo. who never made it out of the U23 ranks, now works as a DS for Chambéry CF, a feeder team for AG2R, which Nans used to ride for.
He holds a bachelor's degree in materials science and engineering.
His nickname is Le Pingouin due to his strong eyebrow game and his movements on the bike.
He holds the record for most call-ups (22) to the French U23 national team.
His GT stage wins are his only pro wins to date. He was wearing number 6 on both occasions, but wore 5 and 8 during his two winless Vueltas.
He doesn't like the flats and needs a mountainous background to perfom.
He's under contract with AG2R until 2023.
Based on his PCS profile pics, he has found a haircut and a pose and decided to stick with them. He also seems to get happier every year: https://www.procyclingstats.com/rider/nans-peters/statistics/details
After doing some research it seems that AG2R generally just want their riders to replicate the same photos every year.
Sometimes the photographer forgets to say smile, other times they add a pair of glasses just for the lols.
