Biography
One of the few non-French riders on the team, he was a surprise addition in 2006, but quickly proved his worth. Rode in shadow of Thomas Dekker as amateur, but has been shining brightly as of late, notching a career-best bronze medal in the 2007 world time trial championship in Zurich. Ambitious and improving in the mountains, Clement hopes to evolve into a GC rider.
