Career

Amateur career

Before turning professional, he set a new record for most selections for the French national Under-23 team, being chosen 20 times: he established himself as the team's road captain, and supported David Gaudu in his victory at the Tour de l'Avenir in 2016.

Professional career

After turning professional with AG2R La Mondiale in 2017, he was originally slated to make his Grand Tour debut at the 2018 Giro d'Italia, but was unable to compete after breaking his collarbone during the Classic Loire Atlantique during March of that year. In August 2018, he was named in the startlist for the Vuelta a España. In May 2019, he was named in the startlist for the Giro d'Italia, and went on to win stage 17 of the race. In August 2020, he was named in the start list for the Tour de France, and went on to win stage 8 of the race. He took his third professional win at the 2023 Trofeo Laigueglia in a 30 kilometer solo effort.

He was named after Nans le berger [fr], a French television serial of the 1970s of which his mother was a fan.
