    Biography

    Inspired by the exploits of Miguel Indurain, Belgy counted on the support of his father to being racing at age 9. He finished his studies in industrial maintenance before dedicating full-time to cycling. Joined the Vendée-U amateur team in 2005, winning six races in two years, good enough to earn a ticket to the bigs for 2007.
