He became famous after his stage win in the 1999 Tour de France. He won the stage on Alpe d'Huez one of the hardest and most famous climbs of the Tour de France. When he was in the leading position, a German photographer jumped before him only a couple of hundreds of metres before the finish line. He hit the photografer and fell on the ground. However he managed to stand up again and won the stage. Later the photographer apologized for what he has done. The foto he wanted to make failed. He took part in the 2004 Tour de France.
