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 August 2020, he was named in the startlist for the Tour de France.[8]
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]
