The year 2006 was a significant year for him where he performed as well as won many championships like Vuelta al País Vasco, Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, Paris–Bourges to name a few. In 2007 he showed a stunning win at Grand-Prix de Plouay Ouest-France and in 2008, Voeckler managed to win the Circuit de la Sarthe. The first stage win in Tour de France in 2009 was another feather in his cap.

Thomas Voeckler started a little slow in 2010 but managed to perform well in 2010 Tour de France, where he had to face some unsuccessful attacks. 2011 happens to be the most successful year for Voeckler.
