Career

Vegier began racing for Lapierre Bikes as a junior in 2013. The following year he won both the Junior world cup overall as well as the Junior World Championships in Hafjell, Norway. In 2015, he moved up to the elite category and took third place at the UCI world cup round in Windham, U.S.

In 2016 the Lapiere team switched to specialized bikes. Vergiere finished the UCI World Cup season in seventh place. His best result of the 2016 season was a second place in Leogang, Switzerland.

The following year, he left the team to join Greg Minnaarr and Luca Shawat the Santa Cruz Syndicate after Steve Peat announced his retirement from professional downhill racing and Josh Bryceland announced that he would no longer be racing for the syndicate.[3]

gollark: Have you tried not using "QB64"?
gollark: I mean, they're artistic™, but not great for color reproduction.
gollark: Although the speckly bits which are a very different color to adjacent bits are not great.
gollark: How ditherous! I quite like it.
