Career

edit

Lloveras represented France in the men's road time trial B event at the 2020 Summer Paralympics and won a gold medal.[2] He also competed in the men's individual pursuit B event and finished in fourth place. On 31 May 2022, bronze medal winner Marcin Polak was stripped of his medal and suspended for four years for breaching anti-doping rules. As a result Lloveras was upgraded to the bronze medal.[3][4]
