Career
Elissonde is a climbing specialist, having won the prestigious stage up the Alto de l'Angliru at the 2013 Vuelta a España.[6]
In September 2016, it was announced that Elissonde would join Team Sky, from FDJ, for the 2017 season on an initial 2-year deal.[7] He was the first French rider to be a member of the team since Nicolas Portal was part of the inaugural squad back in 2010.

In 2021, he earned the combativity award for his efforts on stage eleven of the Tour de France.[1] During the Vuelta a España he was involved in a successful breakaway on stage three,[9] where he finished third; two days later, he moved into the overall race lead for a day.[10]
