MEGAVALANCHE 2024 | Battle for the win?! 🔥| 

Olivier, congrats.. If I can make a suggestion - don't cut the camera feed right after you finish the race, I'm sure I 'm not the only one who would like to see a bit more of camaraderie, heavy breathing, hugs, small talk, incoming top riders etc. Best of luck

Well Olivier, first and foremost, a huge congratulations! This was a very, very tough Megavalanche, this year. Ever since i got back to Mountain Biking and discovered this gourgeous world, you and Kilian have been my absolute heroes. To finish on the podium, again, after that "mud surfing" contest that was the technical session in the forest is nothing short of extraordinary. And secondly...the same finishing order than last year?!?!? Uau! The same first 5! And again, you were able to "swindle" Kilian and Stephan! Good for you! But...isn't there anyone capable of "stoping" those two frenchmen from winning this thing?...I've got to tell you, on the climb, Oton already with you, and I saw Hugo lift is butt from the saddle and "shoot out" into the oblivion I thought it could only be a joke...He is...impressive. I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself while mud sliding and it is very safe to say that it is obvious that you are still very much on top of your game. May I ask, did you guys start slightly more "downstream" this year? You usually pedal the first kilometers on snow and ice. This year there was none...If you're competing in La Reunion I guess "I'll see you there". I'll be cheering you, as always, all the way from Coimbra, Portugal. Good ridings and relaxe a bit now. You've more than earned that!

37:04 Killian!

I'm not a bike rider. Not since I was a kid anyways.. but your vids and a couple of others are strangely compelling to watch.. Thanks for the view and hard work mate👍

14:03 Hugo said "SEE YA LATER BOYS" 🤣🤯🔥 Epic run man 💪

One of the very best Megavalanche videos - it provides a ringside seat to the battle between Pigeon and Oton. Also shows the skill of Bruwiere in extreme conditions. Bravo!

Great run Olivier watched kilians, Stefan’s, and yours. All are amazing footage. Maybe you and the racers could make a mega version with 5 screens showing the top 5 racers in Picture in Picture. Of course after you post individual footage on your channels since the editing would be crazy.

I’m so excited to watch your race. Thank you so much for sharing everything. The race looked brutal and beyond slippery. You are amazing.

a pretty dangerous route man XD... well done🤘💀👌

That purple man is rocket

Brilliant olivier bruwiere. Well done l.

Thanks for uploading, I really enjoyed it. Especially after watching 30-something place video. The guy in purple came prepared for that ascent, he was nowhere to be seen after. Absolutely ripping that trail. Congratulations to you Olivier! Great run!

Unreal !

Wow very Nice race for you Olivier you had a very good start you are an idole for me. Keep going like this.

Wow. That looked wild and tough in the greasy slippery mud.

Thank you for this exciting ride 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Well done Olivier!

Hell Dude! that was hectic/awesome/inspiring and just plain brilliant footage! thank you for posting up so quick, virtually spectating this year has been surprisingly exciting :)

很高兴看到你的视频，非常精彩的一场比赛

The pigeon maybe has wings.. that was the quickest I've seen anybody climb that stretch! congrats on 3rd! well deserved!

This is epic!

Quality race! Epic!

Such an awesome race 🤙

What a speed dude. Great race 🎉

HERO ! !

Congratuation Omg From 1st to 5th , it,s the same as last year😅😅😅

Parabéns, Olivier. Linda corrida. Congratz

Dikke proficiat Olivier. Weeral een prachtprestatie 👏

very good race

congrats bro, so cool for 3rd

Greats

Sick racing with you man! crazy to see your guys pace at the top

What a race Olivier! Congrats with 3rd place! Muddy and slippery conditions, I think it was difficult to keep de wheel on track.

Fantastic race! I clicked it before my lunch. Then I forgot to have my lunch lol.

What a race, great to see you guys fighting for win, you took some gnarly lines there 👊 but Hugo is like a machine, Im really amused how much left in the tank he had to attack on that climb like that in 14:03

Very good race mate!

I watch these races when im running on the treadmill. it helps when i am discouraged and tired to feel like Im in the race with you guys haha Cheering you on as I run and trying to run faster like itll help you lol I've nearly fallen off the treadmill a few times though trying to turn on those corners because I start to lean into the turn with you XD

дуже чудова гонка!) очікуємо гонки в Українських Карпатах - там рівень ще складнійший) Олів'є - будемо тебе дуже раді бачитиВ Карпатах!)

No, no, it's not shit, only mud. 😃 Bravo, beau boulot !

Good run!

来了来了，擦镜仙人

fantstic race you overcome peter and killian..nice

2:28 spicy

purple guy is a flash 🔥😮

Essentially the same bike I ride ... but I'm 40+ years older and not quite so adventurous. 😆

Ohh...and don't I know how hard that is. I've been a doctor for 17 years and most of my pedaling practice has been in the dark, after midnight, after my wife and daughter are already asleep. And I only have sundays to enjoy myself with my Specialized Stumpjumper and Propain Tyee because I always work a 10 hour shift on saturdays. Life is freaking hard! And we've got to pay the bills, don't we? But enough sorrow. You weren't 100% fit?...Jesus, you're still a "beast" on the pedal regardless. Good luck with everything and I keep my fingers cross that I'll "see" you in La Reunion.

playstation. congrats bosse!

太强了！

13:59 Hugo Pigeon es de otro planeta. Lastima que no graba sus carreras

proficiat!!!

What a mud torture test.

Holeshot! Proficiat met opnieuw een podium!

ferm gedaan wi Bosse! dat speedometerke is ook wel tof om zien op 't beeld. En zotjes dat jij tijdens de race nog eraan denkt om de camera proper te houden 🙂 grtz, Kris DC

congratulations ! I am thankful that you clean the lens often so we can see better video

Huge was on 🔥 😁 😂 on climb. After climb he can't see.

What happen to Hugo Pigeon? Not on the list... Great video Olivier

Wow that was one hell of a ride Olivier and you’re right the mud was epic. I have a question about the snow was there too much up there?

race track..what was in km? nice and tuf work on track control,no easy way after rain.

Man Mr. Grapes put the pedal down on that climb around 14:00. He made some good distance there on you and the other dude who was in black.

Uau Olivier...I would give my left "pinkie" to sit down with you and our friend quintessus and "talk shop" for an entire afternoon! And don't take my comment about suspensions the wrong way. I know that Sr Suntour are aiming to earn a spot under the sun in a lot of categories. For example, they are now a major player in the XCO world championship. And if you know anything about what they do there you also know those boys and girls are some of the toughest "S.O.B's" on the face of this earth. And you can start with Nino Shurter and end up with any of the Canyon girls, they would ALL ride donuts around me while I would be struggling to push myself up those hills, let alone try to match the men elite rhythm. So, if some of those gents are working with Sr Suntour, then they're a good enough manufacturer. I wrote that I wouldn't be caught dead with anything else than those 4 brands because of one simple reason: I don't know enough myself! And don't know enough people to help me buy the correct stifness Ohlins shock, let alone set up their forks. So, in my 10,5kg hardtail I have a 120mm Rockshox Sid 120mm fork in the front( thing works like a swiss clock, has never let me down), in both my Specialized Stumpjumper Evo and propain Tyee I have a Fox Float X2 Factory shock 210-55mm(150mm of travel in the stumpy, 160mm on the Propain, the're light relyable and simple enough) and on both of them I have Rockshox Lyrick forks(160mm in the Stumpy, 180mm in the Propain). They're lighter than the Zeb and Fox 36 and 38 and incredibly supple. Because of course, I'm an amateur. And by the way Olivier your combination of fork and coil is upwards of 2800€..Double of that of my combination. And I know that ERA is very, very good. But do you want to know the only place I've ever seen an ERA suspension setup beyng built? Gee Milner's youtube channel, Dream Build. That englishman builds the most amazing and beautifull bikes in the world. And there you have it. If Iwas a professional, like you, I would know enough to venture myself in more elaborate suspension builds but...I can't really go to my Clinical Director and ask for help with setting up my awesome top of the line suspension setup. The first thing he would say to me would be: Luís, You have two enduro bikes?...And you earn your money working with your hands, inside patients, EVERY day?...That's very smart lad...LOLOL! And I bid adieu from Coimbra, Portugal. Hope you folks are sleeping like rocks!

Same winners as last year. Wow.

Olivier, it wasn't your year, I guess. But third is still a great achievement when you are up against the very best in the world. Congratulations! You will get them next year!

How does n.1203 in first position at 14:18 ? did he take some invalid shortcut at 1:29 ? (you can see it in Jack Reading video) His final time is missing from the official finishing order, he appears to have been disqualified.

9:22 Ok, where did that dude in the distance come from? I haven't seen anything of him in this vid so far. From some of the other runs we can conclude he took a different route shortly before the first patch of snow/ice up in the mountains (see Jack Reading's video, at around 1:40, for example). Must have been quite the shortcut. The rider is overtaken at around 14:20 in this video. His number doesn't have a time on the results page, so I guess they were disqualified.

is the start of the course different this year?

🇧🇷brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷☃🎄

Great race, unlucky that Damien ruined your change of winning by getting on front and getting too tired and he let Hugo rest before his attack. Even after Hugo made his attack Damien still wanted just block you. Unsportmanslike behaviour from Damien Oton.

You are really good at this but I continually am yelling at the screen "You are trying to win a race. Stop messing with the camera lens. It's not important"

Again 3rd position. Hatrick of third positions.

Rj ripper

Heu le gars en mauve , il a pris un truc c'est pas possible , l'acceleration qu'il a fait dans le côte omg ...

Would be great if someone can also have a rear-cam, perhaps below the seat, to show how the cyclists behind are chasing.

Do you think it's possible to watch it live next time ?

what about pink helmet guy? how he managed to be first at the start of the climb?

This was the most exciting POV.

Was that Kilian Bron at the end in white outfit?

well done mate, i subsribed when you had very few viewers and subsrcibers. Slowly people realize they should watch you :)
