Cyril Despres- Two-time winner of the Dakar race for KTM motorcycles. Huge star from France. I don’t know who I would compare him to.
Luc Alphand- (like Bode Miller, only bigger!!!) is a French former alpine skier, who is now a race car driver. Born in Briançon, Alphand made his World Cup skiing debut in 1984. In 1997 he won the World Cup. He retired in 1997 and started a career in auto racing.

In 1994 and 1998, finished 14th in the Super-G at the Winter Olympics at Lillehammer and Nagano respectively.In January 2002 Montillet was chosen by the Comité national olympique et sportif français to be the flag bearer for the 2002 Winter Olympics at Salt Lake City.Her victory in the downhill ski event at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City was her first major triumph.
