[2] He went on to win the silver medal as part of the team sprint squad at the 2001 Junior UCI Track World Championships.

2005 saw Pervis take his first senior French National Championship title, winning the kilo, and coming second in the U23 sprint.

He served as a substitute for the team sprint, representing France once again at the 2008 Summer Olympics, in Beijing, but did not ride.

Since 2010 he spends the April–August period of every year in Japan, where he has a contract for the international keirin track racing season.

After being not selected for the 2012 Olympics he went into depression, and recovered with the help of mental trainer and former football coach Denis Troch.
