PROFILE
A steadily progressive first season with the Team Novo Nordisk pro team sees Frenchman return in 2026 looking to build on strong rides including a top ten at the inaugural Tour of Shanghai and at home races such as Kreizh Breizh Elites.
After three years racing with the Team Novo Nordisk Development team, French sprinter Wattelle enjoyed his best season to date in 2024, earning a spot on the senior pro team for 2025.
Top ten finishes in Rhodes and the USA in the spring were followed by a top five at the Tour of Bulgaria and a podium on stage one and fourth overall at Cup Doltcini – In the Footsteps of the Romans.
The youngest of four siblings, Wattelle grew up watching his brothers ride bikes and immediately wanted to try. Racing since he was a junior Wattelle attended Talent ID camp in Caen, France and was selected to join the TNN Development team in 2022.
The first person in his family to be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, Wattelle was 12-years-old and fortunate to have a supportive family and doctor who told him that with the right management and lifestyle his sporting ambitions need not be restricted.
A junior French champion on the track in 2019, Wattelle is a keen photographer in his spare time and is currently studying sports science in Toulouse and enjoys listening to and playing music.
