Personal History:
Terrier was born in Montmartre, Paris. His family moved to Tournan-en-Brie, where he lived until he left for Paris at age 19.

His first sport was football and he got as far as playing for his département or area. Friends encouraged him into cycling and he rode his first official race when he was 16, which he won. Alexis parents did not want him to race, and he raced without them knowing. He won four more races in his first year. Fignon's parents allowed him to race, but still thought that he should study. Fignon entered the University of Villetaneuse, doing Structural and Materials Science. This study did not go too well, and he left soon. After this, Fignon was sure he wanted to pursue a professional career.

Career:
In season #17, Terrier rode for Eiffel Cycling. He caught the eye of the former rider and manager, Quick Step Minded, who gave him a place in his professional team, when he was 21 years old. Terrier was scouted, but was advised to join TACXkin, as Quick Step Minded was not able to train his potentials. TACXkin pampered young Terrier, who became one of the best cobblers of his generation in a matter of a season.

In season 18, he was selected for the National Team in CoN Paris, where he played a key role in the victory of Delorme. The next season his effort was recognised when he was captain of the French Team, finish 6th and was crowned with the French Tricolore. He won two cobble races and finished second in another two, including in Minsk CBGP, where his team manager desided he had to cross the line behind his team mate Gaetan Dauwe. At the end of the season his performance was recognised by the OCM, sulting in two nominations: one for best cobbler and one for best youngster.
