Career

Puy competes for the GasGas team. She worked for the French police before professionally riding a motorcycle. In 2010 she won the first ever women's title in the Enduro World Championship. In addition to her international title, she also won the French Enduro Championship five times. While Puy clearly dominated the scene from 2007 to 2010, in 2011 and 2012 she competed with her GasGas teammate, the Spaniard Laia Sanz , for the place of the best enduro rider.

She completed her first Dakar rally on a motorcycle in 2005 when she competed for the Euromaster team and reached the finish. In 2006 she avoided a boy on the track in 35th place in the motorcycle ranking, and thus as the best woman, and broke her hip joint in the subsequent fall. In 2007 she reached the goal again.

Puy has announced that 2012 will be her last season as an active racer.
