Geoffrey Soupe (born 22 March 1988) is a French professional road bicycle racer who rides for UCI ProTeam Groupama–FDJ.[1] Soupe was also the 2010 under-23 French national champion for the road race,[2] and finished second to Great Britain's Alex Dowsett in the European under-23 time trial championship.[3]
Born in Viriat, Ain, Soupe competed for the VC Bressan and VC Vaulx-en-Velin setups as a junior, and the C.C. Etupes Le Doubs squad as an amateur, before joining the FDJ professional team for the 2011 season as a neo-pro.[4] In his first race for the team, Soupe won the opening stage of La Tropicale Amissa Bongo in Gabon – beating Team Europcar's Anthony Charteau in a two-man sprint[5] – before finishing the race in eighth place overall.[6] Soupe later added a stage victory in the Tour Alsace,[7] before quitting the race the next day.[8]
Soupe made his Grand Tour début at the 2012 Giro d'Italia, taking a third-place finish during the race's first mass-start stage in Herning, Denmark; a result that Soupe stated that he was "sorry" for, after he was supposed to be leading out the team's main sprinter Arnaud Démare, until he was caught up in a final-corner crash.[9]
In August 2014 Cofidis announced that they had signed Soupe, alongside FDJ teammate Nacer Bouhanni, for 2015.[10] He was named in the start list for the 2015 Tour de France.[11]
