Sofian Sehili

Sofian Sehili is a French long-distance cyclist and former documentary filmmaker who, since leaving his career in 2011, has participated in numerous endurance races, winning eleven of them. He aimed to break the record for crossing Eurasia, a challenge previously set by German cyclist Jonas Deichmann in 2017. In July 2023, he began his ambitious journey from Lisbon to Vladivostok but was detained by customs officials at the Russian-Chinese border, just days away from his goal.
