Born in the south of France, Loris grew up immersed in the world of cycling and was introduced to mountain biking at a young age by his father.
Riding rocky, technical trails from an early age helped shape the calm, precise riding style that would become his trademark at the highest level. Rising through the French Cup ranks, Loris steadily earned his place among the strongest riders of his generation. A long‑standing rivalry with his now‑teammate Amaury Pierron, along with a close friendship and on‑track rivalry with Loïc Bruni, played key roles in shaping his competitive mindset and sharpening his ambition. Quiet by nature yet relentlessly competitive, Loris has built his career on control, composure, and an exceptional ability to perform when pressure is at its highest. At times, he struggles with confidence and remains almost unaware of his own status as a champion—a trait that makes him remarkably grounded and genuinely humble within the paddock. From his earliest appearances on the UCI World Cup circuit, Loris stood out for his smoothness and race intelligence rather than raw showmanship. Season after season, that approach has delivered results. With multiple UCI World Cup victories and podiums, he has established himself as one of the most reliable athletes in elite downhill racing, culminating in his first Elite UCI Downhill World Champion title in 2024.
