Geoffrey Soupe


Geoffrey Soupe is a French professional road bicycle racer, who currently rides for UCI ProTeam. Soupe was the 2010 under-23 French national champion for the road race, and finished second to Great Britain's Alex Dowsett in the European under-23 time trial championship.

Career

Born in Viriat, Ain, Soupe competed for the EC Bourg-en-Bresse, VC Bressan and VC Vaulx-en-Velin setups as a junior, and the C.C. Etupes Le Doubs squad as an amateur, before joining the professional team for the 2011 season as a neo-pro. In his first race for the team, Soupe won the opening stage of La Tropicale Amissa Bongo in Gabon – beating 's Anthony Charteau in a two-man sprint – before finishing the race in eighth place overall. Soupe later added a stage victory in the Tour Alsace, before quitting the race the next day.
Soupe made his Grand Tour début at the 2012 Giro d'Italia, taking a third-place finish during the race's first mass-start stage in Herning, Denmark; a result that Soupe stated that he was "sorry" for, after he was supposed to be leading out the team's main sprinter Arnaud Démare, until he was caught up in a final-corner crash.
In August 2014 announced that they had signed Soupe, alongside FDJ teammate Nacer Bouhanni, for 2015. He was named in the start list for the 2015 Tour de France.
