Bryan Coquard (born 25 April 1992) is a French cyclist. He was a silver medalist at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the Omnium.[1]

Career

Coquard signed a contract for a professional career on the roads from the 2013 season onwards, signing with Team Europcar.[2] His 2013 campaign began well, as he took two stages in the Étoile de Bessèges in January and February.[3] In 2015, Coquard won the first stage of the Four Days of Dunkirk. The stage featured cobbled sectors, fracturing the peloton to bits, and Coquard won the sprint of a small group of three.[4]
