Biography
Big and strong, Mangel is working hard to live up to his promise as one of the most highly touted French riders. He can climb well for a big rider as well as sneak into breakaways. A stage-win at the 2006 Tour de Lankawi and a near-miss in the 2007 Giro will only whet his appetite for 2008.
