After riding as a stagiaire the previous season, Godon turned professional with UCI WorldTeam Cofidis in 2017. He took his first professional win the year after, taking the prologue of the Boucles de la Mayenne.
He repeated this result the year after, after having moved teams to AG2R La Mondiale. In 2019, he also entered his first Grand Tour: the Vuelta a España, where he placed third on stage six.[4] The following year, he won Paris–Camembert and again competed in the Vuelta.[5] Godon took three victories in 2021, taking the Tour du Doubs and defending his title at Paris–Camembert. In the process, he captured the overall title for the French Road Cycling Cup, and also competed in his first Tour de France.[6]
In April 2023, he took the biggest win of his career, winning the Brabantse Pijl in a two-man sprint against Ben Healy, becoming the fifth Frenchman to win in the race.[7] In October, he won another UCI ProSeries event, taking the Giro del Veneto in a six-man sprint finish.
A year later, he won his first UCI WorldTour race in a one-two finish with teammate Andrea Vendrame on stage one of the Tour de Romandie.[8] He won again on the fifth and final stage, also taking the points classification in the process.[9]
