His brother Sébastien Chavanel is also a cyclist. Chavanel started his professional career in 2000 with Jean-René Bernaudeau's team ''Bonjour'', which became ''Brioches La Boulangère'' in 2003. He is currently riding for UCI ProTeam . He is left-handed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chavanel signing )〕 Chavanel is a strong all-rounder who has won both sprints and time-trials, and is a good northern classics rider. ==Background== Chavanel was born in Châtellerault, France, although his family roots are in Spain. His great-grandparents were from Huesca, in the Aragon region. His grandfather was born in Barcelona and moved to Châtellerault during the Spanish civil war. Other members of the family still live in Aragon.〔 It is the Spanish link that gives Chavanel the double name of Chavanel-Albeira, although he uses it only on official forms.〔 He said: "Last year (), when the Vuelta was in Zaragoza, I got to know the cousin of mine using a journalist as the translator and she gave me a picture of my grandfather when he was young. Despite my origins, I hardly know a word of Spanish – just swear words".〔 As a child he played in the garden with models of racing cyclists. He said: :We've got quite a big family and we're all into cycling. I remember playing out in the garden with my three brothers and sister with little figures that we gave names to. I was usually Greg LeMond, then later I went on to be Miguel Indurain then eventually Laurent Jalabert. I remember LeMond's accent. I liked the way he spoke French. I just thought he was a nice guy and I liked his style of riding.〔''Procycling'', UK, February 2003〕 Chavanel began cycling at Châtellerault school when he was eight. He gave up to try football, then went back. :I started cycling again at 12 and from then on I improved every year. I was a fragile little thing, immature physically. I used to finish races halfway down the girl's field and at the back of the boys'. Everything changed the day that I beat my elder brother, Frédéric, in the cadet category, although he was better than me at the time.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sylvain Chavanel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
