Career

Born in Bayonne, Sicard won the Tour de l'Avenir and the under 23 World Road Race Championships in 2009, the only man to win both in the same season.[4] In 2010, he joined the Basque UCI ProTour team Euskaltel–Euskadi as the second ever French national after Thierry Elissalde [fr].

Sicard joined Team Europcar for the 2014 season, after his previous team – Euskaltel–Euskadi[5] – folded at the end of the 2013 season.[6]

He announced his retirement in April 2021 due to the diagnosis of a cardiac anomaly.[3]
