Biography

With seven world titles, Magné is one of the more successful sprinters on the track. Starting out as a tandem specialist, he won a record tying number of four world titles (1987-89, 1994) in that event, all teamed with Fabrice Colas. When the tandem competition was discontinued after the 1994 World Championships, Magné dedicated himself to the solo sprinting events on the track, and with success. In 1995, he won the keirin world title, while coming third in the sprint competition. Two more keirin titles followed (1997, 2000) before Magné’s retirement in 2000.
