Just came across this on Youtube. Blimey. I really didn't know that there were MTB races like this. I had to freeze the vid after 20 mins just to catch my own breath sat at the PC.....
I wouldn't ride that fast downhill on a fully-prepped crosser, let alone a pedal bike. Incredible fitness, stamina, technique and skills.
Well worth watching all 40 minutes of it.
Wow. I had no idea...

Amazing isn't it? Completely different challenges up at the glacier, then gravel/rock in the middle and dirt single-track later on.
The suspension on those bikes must be quite something too.

Can't get near that skill level and I'm an old git now! But riding down the side of a mountain in the Alps years ago was the best high I've ever had, motorbike doesn't come close!

Re: Wow. I had no idea...
signed up.... NOT!
how do you say in French "excuse me old chap I would like to overtake as I am a tad out of control"
The broken bike at the beginning says it all, minute 9.55 made me jump
the guy was very polite for a lunatic
cheers Spud
