Thx man!

Pech is part of the game natuurlijk. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Dat binnendoor rijden was natuurlijk wel even een schitterende actie en ik was echt verbaasd dat hij Olivier daarna gewoon voorbleef. Ik dacht dat hij eigenlijk verder achter lag dus toen ie ineens van rechts hoppakee er zo weer voor kwam....Ik was echt verbaasd. Reed hij nu lek of is hij gevallen? Ik dacht gevallen maar kon 't niet goed zien. Fantastisch genoten weer. Ik hou van cyclocross maar met Mathieu zo goed is het saai (ik ben wel Nederlander, maar ben in principe fan van de beste in koers niet per se een landgenoot dus). Wout is minder nu. Dus kijken mijn vrouw en ik gewoon naar dit soort races en we vinden het echt van begin tot einde een genot! Mag dit niet Olympisch worden? Heeft Belgie meteen weer een topfavoriet!

Thx! 💪💪

Thx!

Thx! Klopt. Fysiek was het een echte battle. Ik reed met zwaardere en zachtere banden tov Vidal. Dus op de trapstukken kon ik maar net aanpikken. Op de gladde trails kon ik dan weer vlot volgen. De laatste stukken liggen er ontzettend ruw bij voor je materiaal. Iets te snel en je hebt zowiso stukken.

Bedankt! Hij was sneller op het einde, maar stukken gereden.

✌️

Thx man!

I don’t know. I focussed on the race 😁

Merci!

Thx!

Thx!!

Thx man! The track is really cool to ride. Not to steep, but lots of roots and rocks.

@@olivierbruwiere your rivals are stefan and killian they are also great👍👍

I wanted to go left. During practice, there was now tape so I was a bit confused. The new video is online aswell. ✌️

Thx! It’s Reunion Island. Indian ocean next to Madagascar.

Thx!

Thx!

Thx! Top 5 of Megavalanche Alpe D’huez, Antoine Vidal (French DH champion), Dylan Levesque, Nico Quere, Florent Payet,… also some fast guys. Maybe faster then some of the more famous names.

@@olivierbruwiere For sure they are very fast but I'm talking about the Megavalanche specialists : Oton , Bron, Peter, Pigeon, etc.

Stefan Peter was there. He ended 13th in qualification and did not raced on sunday.

Antoine Vidal was 2nd place 🔥

Thx! 🔥🔥

Merci! 17 psi front, 19 psi rear. The Michelins are strong tyres, so they don’t need much air and I love riding low pressures . I can block the rear suspension with the remote on my handlebar. 💪🔥

@@olivierbruwiere Wow, ça fait pas beaucoup, avec 170 de débattement avant arrière, faut le pousser le ransom, c'est une double performance ! Uniquement la suspension arrière, certainement à cause d'un changement de fourche.

I don’t think the shortcut made a lot of difference, but it’s always a better idea to stay on the track.

Voor den tropische vakantie eerst Reunion. Voor veel trails en lange dagen naar Madeira. 👍👍

Thx!

I hope that dog didn’t bite someone’s leg off 😃😅

Thx man!

why would it be bad?

Shot with the GoPro 11. You can watch it in 4K.

@@olivierbruwiere meme en 4k c'est un peu pourri malheureusement ; vérifie ton encodage peut etre avant d upload sur yt .. desfois yt fait de la merde selon le codec :) Belle descente btw

Hi, I did not record this on the gopro. I don’t use a powermeter,… I only have the info from my Garmin watch.

@@olivierbruwiere you should be able to use garmin Virb edit with your garmin watch to create a HUD with everything else minus the power. That would be sick!

Just me and Antoine Vidal?

La Réunion. An Island next to Madagascar. The Indian Ocean.

Duh, read the title and the description.

Marathon downhill racing

We can ride the track before the race.

Come back for a new video in june and july 2023 if you want some snow 🥰

😅

There was no tape. But it’s always good to stay on the track.

He was faster then me on the final part.

The one in Alpe d’Huez had snow. This is the Megavalanche @ Reunion. The 2nd race of the year on the old vulcano. No snow there.

It’s on the Island La Réunion. It’s part of France, but located next to Madagascar.

It was close, but we did not hit. I needed to be in the front before the singletrack. 💪

the video of the guy he passed in on YT too. And it was close but it was ok :)

@@olivierbruwiere thanks for the answer. On camera, it looked too smooth for a hit, but also too close. Though you were just heavier and send the guy flying 😅.

@@richystocles oh cool. Do you have a link? Would love to see his angle too.

@@JulianLiebl ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WHKYa-7Cczo.html

That should be cool. But Kilian is a pro video maker. He does a great job. 💪🙏🏻

Was that Kilian in front with the white and pink top?

A problem with his rear axl.

he got bad karma for cheating😆

Sorry for that. Looks oké on my screen. If you have any tips for uploading, let me know. I did some research for the best uploadquality.

Agree 🙂

😂

@ 17.38 it was my mistake. I tought the track was on the left side and Antoine wanted to go on the right side. The tape wasn’t there during the practice.

La Réunion.

Thx. I crossed the line in first place. So yes, I’m the winner 😅👍👍

*_Small sins are punished immediately._*

Cheated? Awesome move! Such people make what already is a breathtaking sport to another level. Did you expect him to ever come back? I didn't and boom...there he was. Hats of to him, took too much risk and Olivier is the deserved winner.

Thx!

I will think about it. But it’s not my thing.

I hope I will win some more too 😁

🤷🏼‍♀️ I know

41:20 - satisfying

I won the race. 🔥

​@@olivierbruwierenah you didn't 🤔

​@@olivierbruwierei can't consider it as victory 🤔 yeah you won but hmmmmmm

@@JuneMacs-oj3dlit wasn’t lucky the other guy crashed, the other guy couldn’t shake him so took one to many risks. You could say that about any sport what if…… It’s the person who crosses the line first is the winner. It’s was a well won race, Olivier controlled the bike better, didn’t take sneaky shortcuts and was first over the finishing line, to suggest otherwise is really disrespectful

@@stevee8920 He did shake him. I counted the seconds and the gap was widening. From 1-2 s it became 6 s. But one thing: he only managed to do so because he took too much risks and so that is part of the game too. There is one winner and he won deservedly.

He did not need to take that line. He was riding really fast.

This one is @ Reunion Island. It’s in the title of the Video. We start at the top of Maïdo.
