For anyone curious on the filming/export mistake I made- I filmed this at 24fps and exported through Final Cut editing software but in a project setup at 25fps. I actually didn’t realise this was the case or that it would make any difference until a while later when I noticed my face time and the official race time were different. At first I thought it was their mistake until I noticed the other racers’ video was in agreement with the race time so I investigated further and discovered that the 25fps project meaning the video has 25frames(still images) per second had 24frames per second footage in it, effectively shortening the video/race time by 1frame in every 25!
Good lesson for the future and glad everyone has enjoyed the video anyway!

The mountain of hell is one of the most exciting races of the year.
With 800 riders lined up behind us on the snow at the top, things are tense and exciting, that feeling ramps up as the helicopter fly's overhead and the start gun sounds!
I had a bit of a poor go down the snow, was trying hard to avoid carnage and went too slow round the first corner as a result was going too slow for the entire next snow section and lost a tonne of spots. I managed to make them up until I finally ended up in a tight battle with Olivier Bruwiere and Alexis Chenevier for 2nd place. Kilian Bron was too far ahead to get within touching distance with and eventually won the race!
There was a full live stream of the race from the helicopter and various drones and filmers along the way - it was shown live on French TV too.
Now looking forwards to the Megavalanche in just over a weeks time!!

Such a fun race!! I was a bit too careful on the snow at the start after seeing Theo crash in the first corner and people seemingly flying everywhere. It felt really sketchy at the time. Luckily the race is long and I knew I could make time on the single track if I had clear track or ride really efficiently if I was behind someone/in a group which would allow me to be fresh for the climbs. I know my fitness is good for the 30second to 2min climbs also and that I'd be able to pass on those.

@johanneslastovka9189

can we all take a moment and appreciate that this man took the time to always wipe the camera to make sure that we wouldnt miss anything?!

@adjo82

First place was never even in camera shot for 99% of the time, he was on another level😮

@apexkilla

This level of skill, physical fitness, and focus is absolutely unreal.

@SidemanNewsLive23

Bro got Some serious Leg Power....he was Passing Them Like They Walking Up the Hill

@Datamining101

You're carrying so much more speed into the flats/hills than others. It's amazing. Epic comeback from a tough start.

@peechyman

So many spots i seen where i would've went str8 over the edge...massive skill, endurance and bravery of these riders

@SuperBossGiovanni

mad props to the guy that got first. You were absolutely flying but he was still GONE. I didn't see him once while you were in 2nd. If I missed him let me know

@shiro4095

First place guy is that cpu that you can never outmatch in a video game

@justinphillips532

I’m gobsmacked - that was just bloody stupifyingly ridiculously fantastic. What a display of fearless courage, conditioning, fitness and sublime skill. Inspiring.

@TheLandOfFantasy

You guys are gods who can ride so fast on bike on the difficult, sometimes dangerous, bike road made of snow, ice and rocks

@flyaroundyourfire

This started playing after a completely unrelated video. Man I was hooked! What a ride and what a race!

@dagembelete8475

Saw Kilian's run on this mountain but was cool to see you guys battling it out for the second position, way more entertaining . Great performance!

@Rambleon444

Wow! Best video of the top 4, I especially enjoyed you coming up from 33rd place!

@pablonaracena

This has got to be one of the most breath taking and heart stoping videos in RU-vid!!!!

@L-Office

Watched this while I had a fever and the wind at the speeds you were going cooled me down. Thanks bro, you saved my life.

@bradlemon3183

You had my heart racing several times - I can only admire your skill on the steep downhill sections. You have great stamina, and you were amazing passing so many people going uphill. I really enjoyed this ride. Thanks for posting the video

@surfthemaze

Brilliant ride. A lot better to watch than the Killian vid - get to see the start carnage, riders ahead doing their thing + much more overtaking. It's not so interesting from the front.

@LexGorod

думал, это будет обычно видео про подобные гонки

@tonytober

The speed tuck was the best move he did on fast downhills. It's saving him energy he well spent on uphills. For most to understand, it takes exponentially more energy/force to fight wind speed the faster you go, so there is a point where pedaling with wide arms is more tiring and slower than just fly downhill ducking down and tucking the arms in.
