Career
editBorn in Annemasse, Haute-Savoie, Coppel and compatriot Romain Sicard were the focus of a four-page spread in the sports magazine L'Équipe, with the headline Bientôt un crack française? ("Soon a French champ?"). His presence helped Saur–Sojasun gain its invitation to the 2011 Tour de France, where he finished 14th in the general classification and third in the young rider classification.
Coppel left Saur–Sojasun at the end of the 2012 season, and joined Cofidis for the 2013 season.[2] In December 2014 he was announced as part of the squad for the IAM Cycling team for 2015.[3]
Coppel retired after the 2016 Tour de l'Ain.
