Biography
Pineau turned his back on a promising soccer career to pick up the bike. That paid off in his breakthrough 2004 season, with two wins, third in Zurich and finished the year as the top-ranked French rider at 35th in the UCI rankings. A strong team player, he knows how to win when he has the chance.
