Biography
Yet another product of Vendée-U, Geslin comes from a family of cycling enthusiasts. Steady but unspectacular progress almost changed overnight when he came within a wheel-length of the world title in Madrid in 2005. A broken clavicle in 2006 derailed efforts for a strong Tour de France, but the natural-born sprinter should be back at full strength for 2008.
