    MEGAVALANCHE 2023 La Réunion 🌋🏝️

    After the crash at the start, I could race for the top 3. Some bad luck for Damien Oton put me in 2nd place.

    Congrats to Hugo Pigeon for his impressive win! 👏🏻

    1. I can admitt that it adds some flavour to the overall difficulty of that track but still Olivier…let's admit it, you're an elite athlete. You can't be riding into an incomming car in the middle of the street. You're a lot younger than me but still, me, at 44 years old must tell you that injuries are definitely gruesome and not welcome. A shunt with that Peugeot could have been horrible. I wanted to go riding today, to see where I was with my leg but, no luck, raining cats and dogs. Before I bid you adieux and until next time I say to you again: leaving Killi and Stephan behind you all the way from the glacier to the podium. That's A Game, right there! Good for you! And thak you very much for your good wiches. Much appreciated! All the way from Coimbra, Portugal, I wish a merry christmas and happy Holidays! Good Ridings!

    2. It's fascinating, I admire the amazing physical and mental effort. But I dislike the damage, mountain bikes cause, the soil erosion, the Soil compaction making soil less permeable to water, increasing water runoff, destroying root systems, Vegetation loss and compositional changes. Don't we have enough roads? Why destroy, what's left of habitats? The destruction is sickening.

    3. As the first time watching you do the Megavalanche I now know it’s a race of luck. I have watched many and you hesitated many times didn’t take the risks and didn’t seem to me to be racing at full capacity. True your a champion in your sport from what I have googled but it lacked the wow factor that the other 3 riders I have watched do this race. ( not the same one mind you). If I put all 4 of you in a race then that would be epic. Let go… be a little wild and stop thinking of the prize. I know you are probably the better rider but you need to just let go and enjoy the sport 🍻👍
