STEPHANE GALLIS
Rider's coach

Stéphane Gallis is a man of few words. He is very experienced in motorcycle racing and keeps his prestigious achievements to himself.
He was amongst other things a member of the French team in French championships and in European championships, where he reached the 11th position in 250 Open in 1996. He took part on many occasions in the Endurance World championship, the 24 hours of le Mans and the “Bol d’Or” within such prestigious teams as GMT, the National Moto team or the DAP 91 team.
He also won the Hornet Cup 900 in 2003 and the Honda French Cup in 2005!
Stéphane is also a noble-hearted man who never misses an occasion to help and to grant some precious advice.
He now passes along his experience and his qualities to his young pilots.

JEAN-MARC ADAM
Technical manager

After having started his career as a motorcycle pilot and achieving good results, like many other pilots, Jean-Marc Adam was very quickly attracted by the magic of endurance races and the ruthless logistics that make for success.
In 1991, he created the famous DAP team, where he was both a pilot and a member of the training staff.
In 1994, he stopped driving to focus solely on training. From 1994 to 1996, the team ran in 600 category, and won the title in 1996.

1997 was an important landmark with the development of the Honda 1000 VTR and a title in European championship in Stock category. Another step was made in 1999 when they moved on to Superbike and with the ESCRA prize which rewards the team with the best technical assistance.
In 2000 and 2001 the team developed the Honda SP1 Superbike in Endurance World championship and reached the 9th position in the 24 hours of le Mans and the 6th position in Estoril, in spite of funds that were not adapted to the category and to the mechanics that were used!
In late 2001, the team shifted from Honda to Suzuki. The team entered the Endurance World championship with Olivier Four, Pierrot Lerat Vanstaën and… Stéphane Gallis. They achieved some good performances with a 6th position in Imola and a 5th position at the “Bol d’Or” (overall!). Le team kept on improving in 2003 and achieved a 5th position in the 24 hours of le Mans and a 3rd position – their first podium spot in Endurance World championship – in the 24 hours of the SPA. At the “Bol d’Or” that same year, the team was on the 5th position before they had to withdraw from the competition because of a fall.
In late 2003 Jean-Marc’s life turned around completely. He decided to do something completely different and moved to Savoie where he managed a hotel.
But the passion for competition never left him and when Stéphane Gallis managed to convince him, Jean-Marc decided to come back in business to bring his wisdom, his professionalism and his great experience in mechanical preparation and set-ups, with a secret hope to do just as well or even better, and thereby to add to his already impressive list of achievements.

JOSE KUHN
Physical trainer

José Khun is not as famous as his list of achievements would suggest. A motorcycle fanatic ever since he was a child, he started competing at age 17 in Cyclo French championship in 1989 and 1990. In 1991, he entered the Challenge Honda Motul Open and ended up being vice-champion. In 1992, he ran in French championships in 250 Open European championships on a Honda. Honda then offered him a chance to enter the 5 last Grands Prix of the season.
In 1993, he performed in a few Grands Prix in 500 category on a private Honda. He was then called on by Yamaha to replace Freddy Spencer! He ended the GP 500 World championship in the 12th position.
In 1994, he switched to Superbike and to endurance and he reached the 2nd position in the 24 hours of le Mans along with Alex Vieira. He kept doing endurance until 1998.
He got a state certificate to become a trainer and created his own sports organisation company which he manages today. He uses all his talent and his teaching abilities to improve the physical condition of the team’s pilots. With him, life is always full of surprises

Alain MEBROUK
Personal trainer, dietician, massage therapist

A sports fanatic ever since he was a child, Alain Mébrouk did not choose his profession because it was easy. He spent 15 character-building years with the “fusiliers Marins Commandos” (French Navy Seals), a special unit in the navy.
When he left the army, he decided to dedicate his strong character, his experience and his discipline to sports and became sports assistant in professional bicycle racing teams. He assisted such high-level athletes as Sylvain CALZATI (AG2R), winner of a stage at the 2006 Tour de France, Christophe LAURENT (Crédit Agricole) winner of the best climber’s jersey in the 2007 Tour of California and was the sports assistant in the Lotus MBK DN1 espoirs Equipe team managed by LUC LEBLANC, world champion in 1994.
He brings us today the professionalism of bicycle racing, both on the athletic level as in terms of communication and public relations in the world of motorcycle racing for the ACTION BIKE RACING team.
