Belgian road racing cyclist
Sébastien Delfosse (born 29 November 1982) is a Belgian former professional road bicycle racer, who rode professionally between 2008 and 2018 for the Crelan–Euphony and WB Aqua Protect Veranclassic teams.[2] He has also worked as a directeur sportif for Belgian amateur team Pesant Club Liégeois.[3]
Career
Born in Oupeye and prior to turning professional, Delfosse also competed for the Pôle Continental Wallon–Bodysol–Euromillions team. Having previously taken a podium finish at the 2012 Classic Loire Atlantique, Delfosse achieved his first two professional UCI victories within the space of a week, in May 2013. His first victory came at the Circuit de Wallonie in Lambusart, when he managed to fend off the rest of the field and soloed to victory, having been part of the early breakaway of the race.[4] The following weekend, Delfosse won the 1.1-rated Rund um Köln in Cologne, after again featuring in the race breakaway. Delfosse out-sprinted two other riders for the honours, beating Pieter Jacobs and Georg Preidler at the finish.[5][6]
Delfosse moved to the Wallonie-Bruxelles team for the 2014 season, after his previous team – Crelan–Euphony[7] – folded.[1]
Personal life
Delfosse's older sister Kathy also competed professionally. Following his retirement from the professional peloton, Delfosse became a salesman at a Decathlon sporting goods store in Verviers.[8]
