Cycling

Still eager to push his limits, Evens has participated in many cycling races.

In 2012 he started to be involved in Ultra-distance cycling and took part in the Cape Epic raid 2012 in South Africa and completed the 8 day race.

In 2016, on his first attempt, he won the 24 heures du Mans Vélo in the Solo category, riding for 530 miles (853 km).

One year later, in August 2017, he won for the second time in a row. He shattered his own mark by setting a new record of 593 miles (950 km), the longest distance ever ridden in 24 hours on a bike, making him the unofficial world record holder.

Evens has won over 60 Road and Time Trial races in Category 1 of the UFOLEP Federation. Among those victories, he won the French Time Trial title in 2010 and added back to back victories in one of UFOLEP’s biggest stage race, Les Routes de l’Oise in 2016 and 2017.

In 2011, he created Easydrift France, a company that imports the patented high-density ring technology that gives trainers the ability to teach “hands-on” skid recovery and advanced driving skills at low speed.
