Career

Born in Dourdan, Île-de-France, Gallopin previously resided in Angerville. After two seasons with the squad, Gallopin joined the team for the 2014 season. On 13 July 2014 Gallopin escaped in a breakaway on Stage 9 of the Tour de France, gaining almost 8 minutes on the leader Vincenzo Nibali to take the yellow jersey. Three days later, on Stage 11, Gallopin escaped from the main peloton on the final descent into Oyonnax to win the stage, just in front of the chasing pack. He won stage 7 of the 2018 Vuelta a España after attacking inside the last 3 kilometers. In May 2019, he was named in the startlist for the Giro d'Italia. Gallopin announced that he would retire from cycling at the end of the 2023 season following a 16-year professional career.
