Career

Born in Sainte-Perpétue, Centre-du-Québec, Quebec, Houle began racing triathlons, aged 10, alongside his brother, before focussing on cycling at the age of 16.[2] He became acquainted with former professional cyclist Louis Garneau, who provided him with a team and equipment.

After graduating, he signed his first professional contract with Canadian team Шаблон:UCI team code.[3] Whilst at Шаблон:UCI team code, Houle won the general classification of the Tour de Québec as well as a stage.[4] He also finished third in the Canadian National Time Trial Championships in 2012, as well as finishing fourth at the under-23 road race at the 2012 UCI Road World Championships.[5]

AG2R La Mondiale (2013–17)

Шаблон:UCI team code disbanded at the end of the 2012 season, and Houle moved to French professional team Шаблон:UCI team code. During this time, he competed in the Giro d'Italia twice and the Vuelta a España once. He also won the time trial at the Pan American Games and the Canadian National Time Trial Championships in 2015.[5][6] In 2016, he was officially named in Canada's 2016 Olympic team.[7]

Astana (2018–21)

In 2018, Houle signed for Шаблон:UCI team code, becoming the first Canadian to sign for the team.[8] He rode his first Tour de France in 2019.[9] In September 2019, he extended his contract with Шаблон:UCI team code through 2022.[10] He represented Canada at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[11][12]

Israel–Premier Tech

Despite holding a contract for the 2022 season with the Шаблон:UCI team code,[10] Houle left the team, and joined Шаблон:UCI team code on a three-year contract.[13]

Having featured in the breakaway on the ninth stage of the Tour de France without success, Houle was involved in a successful breakaway four stages later with Mads Pedersen and Fred Wright; Houle led out the sprint in Saint-Étienne, but was beaten to the line by both Pedersen and Wright.[14] Following the final rest day, Houle made his third breakaway of the race on stage 16. With Шаблон:Convert remaining,[15] Houle opened a gap on the rest of the breakaway and soloed away to win the stage by more than a minute ahead of Valentin Madouas and teammate Michael Woods.[16] This made him only the second Canadian rider to win an individual stage in the Tour de France, after his Шаблон:UCI team code directeur sportif Steve Bauer, who won the first stage in 1988.[17] He then followed this up with second place overall, behind Andreas Leknessund, at the Arctic Race of Norway.[18]

Personal life
