Warren Barguil (born 28 October 1991 in Hennebont) is a French cyclist. He has been a member of the team Giant–Alpecin since 2013. He is best known for winning two stages at the 2013 Vuelta a España. He was named in the start list for the 2015 Tour de France.[3]
Career
Barguil began his professional career in 2011 when he rode for Bretagne–Schuller as a stagiaire. While riding for this team, he won stage 8 of the Tour de l'Avenir, and finished 5th overall. The following year, he rode also as a stagiaire for Argos–Shimano. This was a successful season for the cyclist, as he won the Tour de l'Avenir and was second overall in the Tour des Pays de Savoie. For the 2013 season, Barguil joined the team as a regular rider. The then 21 year old booked his largest victories so far his career, when he won stages 13 and 16 of the Vuelta a España. Barguil took no other wins this season, but placed 4th in the Rund um Köln and 8th in the Grand Prix d'Ouverture La Marseillaise. 2014 was a slow year for Barguil, as he had no wins. Although he had no wins again in 2015, Barguil did place 14th overall in his first Tour de France.

On 23 January 2016, Barguil was one of the six members of the Team Giant–Alpecin who were hit by a car which drove into on-coming traffic while they were training in Spain. All riders were in stable condition.[4]
