    [Music] hello everyone and welcome thank you for being with us for our special show presentation of the 2024 season of the bakyan origin the ultracycling world championship and to talk about it there are my guests at my side I present to you first to my right Axel Caron

    The founder of the bikyan you obviously know him he will reveal to us some secrets not all about this 2024 season and then to my right on the screen you see next to me Jérôme Armand co-founder of sports radio partner of the bikyan for 2024 once again thank you

    Friends for being with us so we will approach this 2024 calendar with 7 1000 km races on the program these races are part of the world championship field there will be a ranking in addition to these this race there are three races also rather typical Gravel in 555 format

    So I’ll tell you right away Jérôme Armand will be there to list all your questions so interact on the chat ask us all your questions about the races that await you to have some details some secrets knowing that we are going to approach this calendar in chronological

    Format so if you have questions for example on Taiwan or on Manic Somar biking wait a little bit before asking them and so well we will start right away with the 555 in Brazil since it will be the first meeting of the season starting on March 8 in the State of

    Santa Catarina in Orléan Axel you did the reconnaissance a few months ago now what can you tell us on this course in Brazil and well this 555 Brazil already thanks to you Cédric thanks to Jérôme thanks to Fabrice for making this live possible we are a little late but

    We will try to catch up I see that there are already quite a few interactions on the chat it’s going to be super interesting the 555 from Brazil we see a superb image the first thing that comes to mind is of course the rocaria which is the symbol of this region

    It’s is this tree which is singular that we see in the photo there are everywhere it is an exploration of the State of Santa Catarina so that people can follow us from a cartographic point of view it is not very far from Uruguay so it’s in the south of Brazil it’s really

    A place really it’s really very far from Bikan bres in format 1000 km which is in the region of its Polo nothing to see exactly because Brazil it must be remembered that it is a country continent it is a country which is enormous which we could almost speak of Europe

    In terms of size but the bikman Brazil which we later approached actually in the state of Sao Poo that – there is really in the south of Brazil the idea is to offer a Gravel experience which is entry level a little bit i.e. not for beginners but in any case with not too

    Much positive elevation the particularity of this course is is that there are 50% of slopes because there are not many differences in altitude in this case we see on the screen there are 9000 m of den is positive Santa Catarina with a symbolic departure from a

    Point of personal view because it is the city of Orléans and I speak to all French people orlé it speaks it speaks to many French people and I was born not very far from Orléans I was born in Chartre had it is a course that is completely different from the atmosphere

    That you experienced and that people experienced by following the cycling man from Brazil because the topography is very different there are many more trails than the format of the Brazil is a course that is going to be very fast, it is going to be a start to the season in

    My opinion which is going to get off to a flying start, we have moreover since it is Vinicius Martin, the course director of Brazil, who has started it by a big climb from what I see there and Vinicius you said well Vinicius is the one who created this route he has already

    Explored this region quite a few times we also went to do the reconnaissance together it starts with a big firecracker yeah from Orleans we go directly to the Serra de Rio de Rastro which is a mountain range which is dizzying we would say an open-air canyan

    It is extraordinary in fact it has the impression of entering a plateau I draw a parallel with another 555 it reminds me a little of the Vercor in fact we enter a high altitude plateau

    And then we are going to stay there for quite a long time and we can also see it on the topographical profile which is visible on the screen and moreover I remind the people who are listening to us that you can actually access this detail of the route which ‘we

    Are seeing this image this design on the biking man site on each of the event pages there is a route tab and you can also watch in real time and therefore really cut out the route of each of the stages so here we see that we are entering high altitude because we are

    Almost at 1800 m altitude and we arrive on a high plateau on which we will stay almost until the end because after that it is the serra riood Rastro which will allow us to leave this park with a final asphalt portion which is a little longer for having done the

    Roco just after the biking man from Brazil in conditions which were still quite optimal. you remember it’s true that nice the Méo is very good we have very good weather it’s very rolling tracks it’s very little traffic really nowhere also it’s worth pointing out

    It’s well it’s the agricultural plains in fact of Brazil that’s it that’s exactly it’s in relation to what we offer on the bikingman of Brazil in the state of Sao Paulo and Rio des geo it’s an agricultural area which is a little reminiscent of Patagonia there is

    A very rural side which is completely different from the image we can have of Brazil I don’t know if you remember the constructions the constructions of the houses it’s really the deep rurality of the Brazil so it’s true that there are not many people with a special topography

    Also has a lot of canyons a lot of canyons a lot of waterfalls a lot of river crossings r of the PL I don’t know if you remember where in fact we cross rivers besides we passed some at gu the road was submerged yeah the road was submerged during the Roco period

    But during the race that won’t be the case so that’s precisely the question I wanted ask yourself you did the Roco a period there at the time of the departure of this 555 Brazil what are we going to find as weather we are going to see a little no we are not going

    Have too many then it’s we’re going to Brazil it’s a bit of the particularity of this country is that we have the four seasons permanently but it will generally be warm not too humid so that the slopes are passable and this 555 Brazil was initially designed by vintius in

    Order to have an early season event for the South Americans because we have a lot of South Americans who are participating, we will potentially have a hundred entrants on this on this 555 Brazil and it is intended as a little bit of training and as a foretaste of what will

    Be the baikiman Brazil of the championship knowing that the Santa Catarina region I don’t know if you support it but it’s a region which is very touristy there are many Brazilians who travel there it is a region which is very popular with Brazilians because for its slightly

    Remote character this experience that you can have isolated farms in the middle middle of the arocaria forests beyond the race it’s worth a look too yeah exactly it’s really an immersion in well in a completely different Brazil which is not necessarily postcard like

    We imagine Rio the beaches et cetera ah it’s it’s the antipodes we had I don’t know if you remember during the REC if David it makes me think of Jurassic Park what we were saying you see the immense plains with immense weapons all the proportion in fact is totally unreasonable

    What one can imagine and it has a side for the people who listen to us and who know the championship it is a reminder a little bit of France Aurac or Auvergne that is to say that indeed there is this gigantism these large plateaus that you can lose sight of

    And it is true that we do not imagine this type of landscape in Brazil and in any case compared to the course of the bikiman Brazil which is in the championship it will be completely different what good in any case I hope that it made you want to taste this 555 in Brazil

    You wanted to add something no what bet in leg to start with these landscapes he by setting jamb start of season exactly not too hard beautiful landscape it’s perfect for tourist B yes that’s it yes for the most motivated he because after we continue after this 555

    Brazil with the first 1000 km of the season a new bikyan race on the program the one which will take place in Sri Lanka it will be from April 28 the bikyan Sri Lanka new meeting

    Axel we did an expp we did the recce ago a few months that’s it it’s a novelty back to the sources a little bit of a Duba kimman that’s what we said to ourselves ah there we are at the sources of exoticism in the photo eh that says it all the elephant that

    Says it all, it’s a photo which is quite complicated to summarize because you have to live it and then you can’t see it in the photo but my shoulders are a little tucked in, I have three traveling companions where we stopped our breathing at the moment when we passed by

    The elephant it’s not the only one we came across B here it’s this exoticism which is which is rare because it’s encounters for once which which which forge a life that because it doesn’t happen often we drive on the left uh Sri Lanka former British colony and it’s

    A journey which aims yes to return to the sources that is to say to offer ingredients ultimately which we cannot find in in in many other places on the planet and that we are lucky to find in a territory like Sri Lanka because I imagine that among the people who

    Listen to us and who watch us there are perhaps people who are have already been to the pearl of the Indian Ocean for tourism, cycling, it’s really a territory which is extraordinary there we see the route on the map so the idea of Sri Lanka is to move away from the capital

    Of Colombo to leave Negombo and to have, I would say, a seafront postcard landscape and to be able to get a road and gravel warm-up because the ce000 is the same, it’s it’s is a course which is intended to be an introduction to the championship because we still have

    Quite a few people who will do several events during the year and the idea is to start with something which is built and not that it is destroyed because we note the difference in altitude it is the it is the race which has the least difference in altitude of the season

    Sri Lanka quite there if we look at the profile roughly there is a big bump in the middle after the rest it seems to be going exactly yeah it’s well that’s how it sums up quite well the topography of the country because we have a lot of jungles so very very dense

    Vegetation with alternating Gravel track games so it’s really a course which is very very fun for people who can start in Gravel because it’s not technical it’s not very Gravel difficult as we can have in Europe or particularly in France with limestone massifs for example

    So it is a territory which is very playful and at the same time at each turn well we will discover well all the authenticity of Sri Lanka because in fact the particularity of this country is that there was a lot of infrastructure that was built at the time

    Of British colonization and in particular the exploitation of tea because that was one of the great riches and it is still one of the great riches of the country and in fact it is these tracks that today have a second life with Gravel because it allows us to be

    Able to both for the Sri Lankans to get around by tctou or on two wheels because in a four-wheeled car there’s not much space so it’s impossible it doesn’t work it doesn’t work yeah so it’s

    Perfect for the bike you won’t be at peace in traffic so in fact it is a benefit somewhere from history that is to say that we benefit from the history of the infrastructures which were built at a time to be able to exploit part of the resources of the country to be

    Able to well here it is in tasted typically what we were saying there is what we see in the image there these small dirt roads where you will be peaceful by bike without a car and in total immurion with small coconut juices on the edge of the road that we have ourselves

    Fruit fruit is that we have surprises finally surprises obviously you and your team Axel you concoct some for yourself but things that you will have to avoid elephants at every corner at every turn other animals then Sri Lanka is clearly the SOMUM degree of exoticism

    Of the bakingman championship in relation to the fauna like the flora because on the fauna side there are indeed species including elephants which are present in very large number and on the Flor side it’s the same there is really something for everyone because

    There are trees which are gigantic uh there is this atmosphere the jungle banana trees coconut trees yeah the coconut trees there is this ‘is really a trace which is quite unusual in terms of route on the course we see that as you said Cédric that there are

    We will say that there are two big not two big difficulties but we are going to aims to look for the liyon rock which is one of the mythical symbols of Sri Lanka with this Carstic geology there and this enormous loaf of sugar which comes out of the ground and

    Which we had the chance to explore when we does the ro also known under the name of sigiria quite maybe even have a checkpoint ah ah maybe even we will have a secret check that you

    Reveal to us we will see exclusively it is not yet defined but in any case what is certain is that here the idea is to start from the plains so it’s not the wheat plains eh the hump it’s the plains where there are jingles everywhere with alternating pace Gravel to

    Reach the rock of Liyon and then climb in the tea region the highest pass in the country of Nuarilia and where there are tea songs almost everywhere it is an immersion which is extraordinary at altitude we reach how many meters we are just below the level of

    2000 m ok for the pass the most you see it’s okay friends to start the season I’m taking advantage of it since I interrupted you Axel don’t hesitate to ask your questions eh about the race on the course of Sri Lanka we will be happy to answer your questions so yeah

    You said the highest pass in the country Axel about 2000 m altitude or c ‘is the main difficulty in fact I’m not sure because in fact Sri Lanka is not a cycling difficulty in fact that’s what’s interesting and for that it’s also a big return to sources of the bikingman it’s

    All the ingredients that are around it’s not the slope nor the distance it’s not the route read just the die it’s the atmosphere it’s the general atmosphere of this country where we drive on the left uh it’s a completely different culture there are Christians Buddhists

    Muslims we don’t eat the same thing you have to speak English you have to speak English it’s very hot otherwise you can speak with your hands here you can speak with the hands you can talk with the head very nice eh the srilans moreover very welcoming of res Line

    Of the head since the sri-lancas a lot of the earth uh and then the general atmosphere of the fauna of the flora that’s when we cross paths or elephants well we [__] more in the

    Same way would say that when you have a range in front of you or behind you days that you pedal in the same way in front of you you slow down behind to exaement it’s the route

    Where I think that we will raise our heads the most to look at what is in front because for the moment we always have to be attentive to the fauna and the flora and it becomes

    A game in fact because it is it’s a bit of a I don’t like the term because it’s pejorative but it’s a bit of a safari on gravol because you’re always something always passing by you’re going to look for you’re going to hear noises you’re going to look if it’s a monkey

    In the end you know how to recognize the sound of the monkey so when you hear it you know that it’s him when you see a varant you you also know the noise that a varant will make

    And you can tell hold on to that, it’s a variant you can hear buffaloes and in fact in the end it becomes reflexes that you acquire because you have the chance to cross areas because for once Sri Lanka welcomes us and takes us through areas which are very exotic with nature

    Reserves in particular after the after the a famous pass there which we are going to discover for the before the Yala reserve which you can discover which is just after the noara Elia just before sorry so that’s after the halfway point it’s the Riverstone park which

    Is just before the noia pass and it’s the c It’s the first big firecracker, the first big peak that we see before arriving at the summit which is the highest of the route and then we go back to the coast to reach the Yala reserve and end up with a maze of d’

    Alternating pace Gravel road to reach the south of Colombo along the sea yeah the sea air with heat because for the moment Sri Lanka is it must be remembered for the people who listen to us it is April it it will be hot fr cold in France hot in Sri Lanka very hot

    Even bring sunscreen at least 30°gr and after SRI Lankaa we continue with the rest of the calendar so first mil000 of the season Sri Lanka I remind you of the date on April 28 the rest is the bikyan Corsica 7th edition already huge it will be on May 26 the big

    Departure so I remind you the friends who follow us who have taken this show along the way ask us your questions about the chat we will answer you then the questions on the races in this case on the biking man Corsica if you have questions do not hesitate Jérôme

    Will relay them yes because there are people who ask us questions know if PSG played last night but but yes PSG we are also asked why we are also asked why Cédric is in France

    24 mode with his shirt because it is the special show we present to you the show the 2024 route of the bikyan it’s a huge event obviously look shirt jacket we go on to Bikan Corsica Axel so 7th edition how do we renew ourselves what do you have planned this time so for

    Corsica what we need to remember is is that it is the emblematic event of this year because we have more than 200 starters so it is the event which is the one which is the most popular

    It is the one which is the most popular here we go very very very very quickly in terms of participation and unfortunately there are potentially people who listen to us who have not managed to get their hands on a place how do we go about renewing ourselves in Corsica

    Well it’s not very complicated you just have to ‘go to Corsica because this country is extraordinary so we have changed things quite a bit for this 7th edition because historically on Corsica biking it was a tour of the island starting first by the Regional Park so the

    East of the mountain in the sea there we do the opposite that is to say we are going to go in the direction we were clockwise and there we are exactly counterclockwise so we are going to go due north towards Cap Corse to start with a beautiful view of the Mediterranean

    Sea then the loop for those who know it from barkad to really get the view of the island of Jil which is the northern tip of the island and then we go chain the whole of Cap Corse the desert agriat and the formidable pass of battle which we put back on the program

    Because unfortunately we could not have it on the program for 2023 because of works there that’s it the road it’s finished it’s clean it is perfect and the three-digit percentages rather two will be on the program and because there when you see the the course there the

    Definition of the course is something other than Sri Lanka there it is shark teeth it’s the mountain in the sea Corsica is inaccessible you have to do it by bike anyway Corsica there is no other there are no other means and it’s one for once it’s a paradise of secondary

    Roads because there are a lot of secondary roads once we have finished the Col de Bataille, the big big novelty that has never been on the Corsica bikingman’s program is the Col de Verde which is the longest and highest pass in Corsica that we see besides it is

    The great crossing there which is to the south of the montecinto which is and there to the north of Coré which allows us to reach the coast and there we will arrive in the fabulous calanges of Piana since that was one of the things that is always on the program, it is

    Always and it always will be almost at the beginning of the moment and we then there in this case the calan that we have them I am looking at in terms of a quarter of the route we will say that the first will arrive there potentially at night and the last will

    Pass there at daybreak since we are still at km 356 there you see again the most beautiful images of the 2023 season of this Corsican bikingman go ahead Jérôme a regular a regular of the Corsica of the bikingman Benoît tells us he is very different eh yes he noticed

    First first glance it is very different this route there is someone who asks us if the GPX track is already available then the GPX tracks is a very good question are never available we share them at the last moment generally a months before the event since depending

    On the feedback we can get from the prefectures on the work zones, particularly like last year we had the battle pass which was closed and in good working order we adjust and that allows you to ‘avoid preparing yourself to make crazy schedules, particularly on the

    Supply aspect because I know that there are those who listen to us who make schedules down to the street to find out if there is a supply we generally communicates one month before the race once we have all the prefectural authorizations and especially the details

    Of the departments because we are lucky in France to have quite a few people who work on the roads and who can inform us of the suddenly lots of work zones to ultimately avoid sending the edges to the C PIP so the GPX is not accessible it has for the moment

    A nice trace afterwards we can guess it almost we can guess it we can guess it follow someone can reconstruct the trace easily by going to the bik site since you are talking about ravito Frédéric Frédéric Mony I don’t know if he’s a veteran Fred how he’s doing

    Fred 200 leaving I don’t know how many people are registered for the moment he says he tells us there will be a traffic jam for Vito for CP eh maybe at the beginning only maybe at the beginning after that it will stretch out that’s it there won’t be a traffic jam at

    The beginning because generally and there that will also be the case we go in waves but but no ravito it would surprise me if there is that there is a lot of traffic jam Fred we will have to pedal eh we will have to move forward but hey fr he is progressing

    Well no more details on the CP you know where they are so the particularity we can share something about your these 1000 events is that for the year 2024 and this is one of the big new features uh we are going to have three control points for each race for each

    Race 1000 so the little secret revealed Corsica also there will be three checkpoints which will allow in particular the lantern wheels which we love because there are a lot of people who come to finish the bikingman in 5 days and not just to race as quickly as possible

    But it will allow you to reach checkpoint number 1 and keep it in sight like a lookout well I suggest you continue with this calendar for the 2024 bikyan season since after Corsica so it will be the Alpe maritime Alpe maritime block sorry Alpe maritime with on June 23

    Departure of the 1000 km the bikikingan Alpe maritime which in fact replaces in name the bikyan France with an obviously totally modified route and then the Bikan ALP maritime which will be followed well the weekend following June 28 of the 555 Alpe maritime it will be

    The 2nd edition so Axel well that’s a downright renewal it’s also new to combine almost two events in one the 1000 km the 555 what are the new features that will which will be reserved for the participants of these races so there is a big novelty is the departure on the maritime

    ALP yeah we left from the Cané so not very far from the coast there on the 1000 and the 555 we is going to leave from Valberg which welcomes us there to be able to start the

    Two races it is one of the particularities because we see it also on the profile of the test then in this case for the moment what I see is the 555 but the profile of the 1000 we are immediately at almost high altitude he because we start at more than 1500 m from

    Altitude is one of the specificities that we want to give to this bikiman Alpes Maritime since the Alpes Maritimes in my opinion when you are there route of when you cycle it is you first remember the Alps more than the maritime because often, especially at this

    Time at the end of June, there are people on the seaside while in the mountains there is absolutely no one and it is clearly the object that was given and the purpose of this trace is to discover the whole Alpine part with a Franco-Italian duality and I also thank

    Benoî merchz if he is listening to us I am sure he is connected he is there he is there benoî mer he is behind is behind the les boards from the one who worked hard on the

    Course because it must also be clarified that I do not work alone on the courses there is often the community which interacts which offers us things, modifications and Benoît is at the origin of the the idea precisely to seek out this Franco-Italian duality Val

    Crosses the border there it’s sure it’s sure we’re going to have compared to the bikingman France of last year the Alpes Maritimes it’s a focus Alpe and Franco Alpe -Italian so we start from Valberg we are going to have and we see it on the contour curve we have more

    Than 6 Coles at more than 2000 m altitude without without betraying a secret what to remember there are known names that I will deliver because we see them in the northern part of the course we will try to collect a glue necklace which is very difficult to

    Collect it is finestre vakera and and foniera to then switch back to the Alpe Mary team side especially in a sector that I really like and that Sébastien PA if I listen to us because he is based in Nice because we are going to look for Moutière the Col de

    Buis the Col de Turini and the Colle de Saint-Martin so the final in fact to reach Valberg will be absolutely wonderful because it will be very close in particular to a stage of the Tour uh which had the Col de Saint-Martin and the Col de Tunerini as arrivals so we

    Will really have a route that ‘ will therefore have a north-south shape and not a rugby ball shape as we had before and focused on Franco-Italian ales to finally collect this mythical glue necklace because to my knowledge it is the only one trace which allows you to join all

    These mythical climbs on a single wonderful route but also difficult we are going to be on an al route we must not look at the current positive altitude difference because when I see all the little red squares on the map eh I remind you these little red carriers

    Are the passes so that’s a lot of passes all the same but we start downhill if I understand correctly and if I see if I VO when we are at 1000 m we will start with go down yeah

    But I see that there is Fred you see who asks the question that everyone is asking with Benoît who interacts wed I thank you the Fantastic Four faonira lombarde Moutière and halos that’s on the program Eric wed the Turini aution tower, no, we haven’t added

    That because otherwise it would be too complicated, in any case on the Gravel section, actually Fred, there are three in total, that’s to reassure people who say it’s perhaps being a Gravel course like the 555 not at all the biking man a little maritime it is a course

    Which is done with a road bike it goes from 25 tire to 28 tire there are exactly 20 km of Gravel portion they are passable and well rolling so you don’t have to come with a Gravel bike we just added these Gravel dimensions because they are absolutely legendary for

    Those who know me and you were there on the Manix biking of 2022 we had climbed la Moutière which is an exceptional pass which allows you to rediscover the Col de la Bonnette and that’s also the goal is to be able to switch to the Italian side by going for Finestre

    In particular which is majestic so with a road bike that pass I think that we are going to be overall on the final track over 1000 km with 200,000 M of positive difference therefore in line with the standard that we had until now over the last three years in France a

    Few questions precisely about logistics is it easy to find hotel apartment accommodation on Valberg precisely since we arrive we arrive on Saturday in general since and and therefore the second question which is linked but it is on all the races this this by Sunday at

    12 p.m. now well it is good there are some who are attentive there are some who are attentive thank you the community it’s good so logistically in Valberg but it’s an extraordinary resort there are super good restaurants you can camp on site you can come with a van you can sleep

    In your van you can otherwise sleep at Chud either in a Tourist Office accommodation or in one of the hotels there is there is everything you need it is a resort which is used to welcoming a lot of people of people from the Niissoise Rivièra and so there is everything you need

    On site and generally when you arrive at Valberg you get there either by the gorges d’alui which are exceptional or I don’t remember the name but I’m going to find but the access to Valberg is exceptional in fact because we have to enter in fact through three zones

    Either it’s the caayole and in which case it’s the Couillole sorry and it’s a pass and it’s very difficult either it’s from him well we are in a CRE which is in a screen of nature which is which is really special just precision because there are some who say well Italy

    France it’s like the Tour of France 2024 you are talking about the Couillole I believe that there is a finish of a stage or a passage to the Couillole one of the penultimate stage perhaps and besides they are going to struggle because they are going to struggle it is very

    Very hard and for the question concerning the departures actually on the miles on Sunday at noon not on Monday morning at 5 a.m. as was the case before so as to be able to prevent the athletes from stopping to think all Sunday afternoon before leaving because they all

    Dream of leaving as soon as they arrive in the village and so the 120 hours end on Friday at noon and no longer on Saturday at 5 a.m. so precisely the féards since they are also féards the participants of the bikinman and Fredo king of the vé says well then there

    Will always be the finishers’ meal on Friday evening even though there will be a closing meal which will not be a dinner it will be a meal a meal quite in the middle of the afternoon yeah they are reassured the idea in fact that we have behind this departure on Sunday noon

    Is also to facilitate logistics for people who come either by car or by train to uh finally be able to have the minimum time on site and be able to go and rest well that in fact the

    Departure on Monday morning at 5 a.m. and you are part of it because you have made quite a few departures with us it stings it generally stings we doesn’t sleep much at night although this allows you to be rested and do as we did on the 555 the husband app and the vercor

    On which it went very very well to have people who are rested we leave during the day we also leave together with the light it’s still super pleasant and then uh also close to being there more easily also for the departure completely completely I think that’s going to be it will

    Be great moments in perspective because suddenly we will be able to see each other on the day of departure we will be able to be rested all together and at the same time it will allow the red lanternees of the millet who will arrive on Friday morning to be able to

    Be welcomed by all the finishers who are still in the event village and then after launching the 555 for the Gravel event for an ultra distance Gravel weekend starting from Balberg so it promises a very, very big party yeah it’s going to be a beautiful a beautiful week

    Dedicated to ultra-distance on the road like the Gravel they are hot in the questions the Couillole on this side it’s going to be hot we are told it’s the last question after we have to continue we continue very very hard but sublime c one remark I confirm the Couillole

    Actually hurts very very badly whatever happens in any case the climb back to Valberg for those and those who know me because I often say it’s not a gift it’s not a gift it’s not a gift but it’s also the position of Berg’s nidgle which is unique because precisely you

    Have to get there and wink for those who will participate in the 555 Gravel uh we go back up by pon so for once it’s a spotlight on a village which is splendid 555 we recall 500 km in 55 hours to finish so well the race so after the boulder bikingan ALP maritime

    And 555 ALP maritime we continue with the Auvergne ronalp block with the bikyan will take place on July 21 so at noon new schedule bikyanura 1000 km 4th edition which will be linked therefore from the following weekend on July 26 with the 555 vercor 3rd edition

    Here too these are the usual appointments of the bikyan season what’s new like some little secrets that you can reveal to us Axel so the first secret which will be plus 1 is that this trace aura originally it is thanks to Jacques barge uh and Marc laland that we

    Put together this event and I would like to salute them I hope that they are connected or that they will see the live this evening and and in ‘occurence here we are who took out the boards to offer us this variant of Laura which for once is completely redesigned

    Compared to what people could know about this edition we start from a massif that I adore for lots of reasons it’s the Verrecore massif we’re going to start from de Villard lance in this case for a departure arriving from the station so we’re going to leave at high

    Altitude we go back down and we go back down but we’re going to have to go back up again because that we are going to attack by the Col de Bataille but concretely the trace compared to before we keep the same overall statistics that is 1000 km 19000 19005 of positive altitude

    Difference so it remains contained but it still remains a serious test of the championship it’s still an event which is very strong we are going to have the whole Drome part which is very close to what we had until now to then join the Monds d’ardèch therefore the

    SER de mur and then to rally the Gerbier Jon who was very, very bad from the start of the Manora biky when we started from bonbon les scales and we are going to aim for the pas de pérole with this time and I am very very happy because Jacou and Marco succeeded in

    The challenge of connecting the obrac which has a territory which is extraordinary that I had the chance bravo Jacqu Marc bravo Jaco bravo Marco I had the chance to cross this this park for the devil’s road full of eyes to Pascal bride and it captivated me when

    I had the opportunity to cycle there because it’s really a territory that is extraordinary in terms of landscape, feeling of isolation and beauty quite simply to arrive on the mythical pas de pérole which is really the signature of this Manora biking if you do it at sunset

    And then you can even finish with the sequence behind on the LAAC pass which is no less impressive at the moment because I find that it is in the shadow of the pas de pérole while often

    At the lake when we arrive afterwards on the high plateaus there to reach the forz it is really an extraordinary place to then leave full This is where we tried to simplify a little the maze that we had in the Dombes and rally for a finale which I think will

    Be with as much panache as the one we had before although a little bit easier because last year we had the Grand Colombi which was really the Walk of life for the participants because it was absolutely necessary to walk for each of them content of the difficulty

    Of the slope of the Grand Colombier there we are going finished by the vercore so you will still have to climb into the massif ah there a saying a saying for aura sinceon in the obrac who eats an aligo leaves his bike in the fridge it’s not me who said it it’s

    One of the participants Eric mer he is quite right no by being a little more serious it’s funny when a passage in the SV which being a little little lower cl the ARDH obviously then it’s always the difficulty when you have a color palette that is as rich as that of

    France and when we are in a place with so much massif if people see the map uh it’s complicated to manage to connect everything on a format of 1000 km while being on secondary roads the Vern ronalp to the magic to have a lot of secondary roads we could do almost

    4000 km uh which would be at least as dense but for once which would make 80000 m of positive levels because there is a lot of massif so that’s the whole point also of these events is that we go back on the boards regularly to be able to offer other massifs why not

    One day the SV I have already done a little bit of passage there in particular Gravel so I see very very clearly the massive ch fa later maybe later France there are so many things to do we have to give ourselves several years and the 555 vercor which follows the

    Bakyan will have the route it takes up part of the 1000 km or c ‘is a different course very very good question the occurrence it is a course which is going to 80 15 98% different

    The 555 gra suddenly this time yeah we have 20% of grav 80% of Asphalt on the on which on the verc the 555 ah ok yeah aura it’s a 100% road course and you need a road bike

    To be able to participate in this event the 555 is a Gravel event like all the 555s and you need a Gravel bike to come we has 20% Gravel 80% Asphalt and this time it’s the

    3rd year you see the route of the 555 right there we see it it’s a it’s yeah it’s a complete tour of the verc it’s estd that we can hardly and I thank Phil if he is there and who listens

    To us Joan Lambert who is the voice of du Roc d’Azur because it is thanks to him that we created this trace it is a full tour of the glasscor there is we cannot summarize it in a simpler way we see almost all the beauties of this park without suffering too

    Much because well it is still a limestone massif there are many very very technical parts which are suddenly not on the program so tracing a Gravel course really has to go there with great precision and I think that we are on a course which has all its qualities

    Is there which is not too harsh with a very very nice finish by the tram track which actually reserves surprises you have to keep under the [__] until the end then we have the reception for departure and arrival in Villard that’s who this village is with this atmosphere which

    Is really nice on the square next to the heritage house with the restaurateurs around there is a good tartiflette not far away yeah there is a great atmosphere there is a great atmosphere because here it is a mountain village we are on the plateaus it’s very very nice I was

    Wrong it’s the raclette with bleu du verrec hey I recommend it to you before leaving to come to the blue festival this year because it won’t take place in Villard but you have to come to the long distance party which asks but there is who who could answer laorian

    Placed on Laura B I don’t know Lauran Lorian if you listen to us tell us on which course you registered which one what is Laor ser on Laura for the moment she is not registered in any case for the moment not registered good benutre for the list of participants

    You can go to the bik site because on each course page you can access the public list of participants and participants who are currently engaged you can see who is registered for each course no I think there was a comment regarding Lorian since Lorian is on the chat

    As well and she saw the real surur so there is feed which ask will you still need a full suspension mountain bike for the glasscore that’s I know who is behind these comments yes we know it can be done without problem with a Gravel bike there are even people who

    Have come with 35 tires, friends, I don’t recommend it, it’s better to come with 40 mm tires, but it’s no problem with a gravel bike, you just have to keep some under the [__] and don’t push too hard on the descents to face the climb of the tram in complete

    Serenity because in fact the last section is the last without limits once you get back into the park well you have to keep some but no there is no need for a mountain bike after that there are some who came with a smigide sinceonindit not for the moment to come with

    A mountain bike there are even some who have done I remember 2 years or 3 years ago the bikingman Portugal in bronton of course so we can do the b b whatever we want any bike muscle bike muscle bike obviously yes no electric he after to cross the finish line it’s something

    Else obviously we continue with the rest of the calendar since after the bouldering so auverne ronalp we return to the adventure at the ‘pure state direction Brazil for the bikyan Brazil 4th edition see you on September 9 for the starting line at noon bikiman Brazil

    Axel what can you tell us about this 4th edition is he going there have big changes we still stay in the Sao Polo region we still stay in the Sa Polo region and we are technically

    On the most successful course that is to say that we are on rework we are on the slightly improved 2023 course because there for having done it three times the course of Brazil is really having worked with a comb with Vinicius this trace there we are clearly on a course

    Which R seems a lot of ingredients in a perimeter which is still quite small because Brazil once again is a continent and in fact the trace there is very small compared to the size of this country but it brings together the hardest pass in the country with Parati

    The highest pass with the Atiaya National Park ah there Gravel portions which are just well I’m sorry you have to live it I’m going to speak for him but Giorgio I don’t know if he’s connected to ice novel who delivers us ice creams on the races Giorgio participated

    This year after several years of watching this event so he’s a Frenchman for those who don’t know him he did Brazil this year he also did Morocco and he told me something something which made me extremely happy he told me there is an atmosphere there you can’t

    Describe it you have to go there you have to experience it because there is a Gravel atmosphere which is just it’s the Dakar what these are extraordinary tracks with climatic conditions which are less challenging this year and in 2024 finally 2023 2024 because

    We saw the El n phenomenon over the last two years which meant that there were quite a few of rain but normally in September there isn’t too much of it georgeio is well connected it’s true you have to experience it to understand it we RPP thank you Giorgio and it’s true

    That just thinking about it already gives me the chills it’s is quioresile it’s there is something happening and thing or even in image I can’t transcribe it there is the Brazilian atmosphere which is yeah it’s extraordinary that the Brazilians are a people who are so different from what

    We see in Europe they know how to party they know how to receive they know how to welcome and they know how to cycle because it’s all the same a course which is very very serious pay attention to the 1000 km 18000 m more because there are some who do in Faté there

    Are some who do a lot even who do it exactly and you don’t have to Gravel or mountain bike you have it done in Gravel I did it in Gravel with several machines the last time it was with the Grax 2

    Uh to choose I would still say el to be faster but because I’m looking more for competition everything obviously depends after the final objective that’s if you’re looking to really go there in quiet mode finally calm we feel keep what is it fashion the quiet mode for

    Pedaling from dusk to twilight but resting for 8 to 10 hours every day at the hotel or in a spa house or in a bedroom or on the side of the road you can come with a BT a smigide

    To really have maximum comfort you can also come with a smigide if you have if you lack technical skills on the piloting Giorgio who is connected to the cat came this year with a Gravel with a suspended fork SO it’s also an alternative which is not bad because for

    Once with a 40 mm fork you can you can go to Brazil without coming with the weight of a mountain bike what so a small Grax 3 GTO like this one that I had on the ro of the 555 it is perhaps an ideal machine for people who want comfort performance whatever makes

    You laugh g he asks me a question from Kevin who says and for George on the Brazil are bananas easy to find on the route well you have to go to the locals no the joke for the

    People who can’t put the context because it’s one of the anecdotes but there’s so much going on on these events on the other side of the world in fact we were in the Itatiaya Giorgio national park we met him at that time because he was doing the complete loop around the

    Park so there it is a party of the most difficult we were at more than 2000 m altitude I think yes yeah we go up to more than 2000 and it’s a Gravel portion which is really really very

    Very very difficult but then we are in a sanctuary it’s a gem with BF an atmosphere which is very particular there are a lot of ramps it’s a bit it’s a bit the big H on this portion

    And in fact he was lucky enough to have the delivery of the equivalent of our bakers in France who deliver the hot bread well there it was the Professor who arrived who delivered the bananas and GE said what’s happening great bananas in the middle of nullp and he rushed

    Over while chatting with the hands with the Brazilian who suddenly it is we prec to sell him bananas the bananas are particularly good there that at the direct source very fresh after Brazil we continue with the rest of the calendar friends since there will be the

    Bikyan in Morocco perhaps the place of departure anyway Axel Marrakech of course departure arrived in Marrakech still in the Atlas so here we are at the gates of the Atlas since it’s going to be another I would say a special on the Atlas and the Anti-Atlas there will

    Be three checkpoints again but after the course will be as the tradition of the X reveals the day of departure for the briefing it will be uh at least in this regarding the difference in altitude we stay more or less in the same figures it won’t ê will take portions that

    We have already done it won’t be an overbidding uh to change the altitude because it’s true that people tend to assimilate the with a race uh in the Déné it’s not at all the case the search for 2023 to know how to show different Morocco in fact because it is the

    Country of light there there are very different atmospheres depending on where we are located from the Cordière that we crosses and I hope that we will bring ingredients which have not yet been seen on this Manix biking so it is a route which will be 100% revisited

    Do you have the right to give some clues a clue on the the the the maximum altitude the maximum altitude no there are there are bandits has bandits a band who asked the questionand Frédéric Mony know without paying anything so therefore no clue a viciux has some B ESS

    To communicate who had connected the different points of the teaser and who had managed to almost reconstruct the trace they are going to give us the trace no still something important there is a question someone who at least less 6000 yeah good clue thank you the tires that

    You have to bring there in Morocco yes in Morocco it’s Gravel already it’s Gravel so you need a Gravel bike already asphalt proportion Gravel at least it’s like the first edition of the 40 mm goes to 45 if you want comfort and uh fork with a semi-rigid Gravel if you

    Really want absolute comfort what just for fun we are asked how many turns but you won’t say it obviously that will be too important a clue asking this question uh Calvin thank you CALV no no on the other hand something more important uh for the X which was usually

    Reserved for the finisher do we stay on the same thing will it be necessary to have been uh finisher of a binman to register very good question of asn no since X 2023 that’s why that’s what we therefore placed it at the end of the season precisely to give the possibility

    To people who are training either on other events or on events on the calendar to be able to participate at the end of the season the main thing is to have experience in Gravel and in the experience of long distance of course since it still remains an emblematic

    Event with rare exoticism so the bikyan from Marrakech another question Jérôme another question but we are going to do the last one and I will ask you this final question Calvin who tells us it seems magical to ride in Morocco yes yes yes it is there and someone and someone

    Who tells us yes it obviously is and someone who tells us that’s good you will answer when you want since we still have a biking man a step to present why did you know how to prime the SCAD well that’s it is it the race management which chooses is there any chance

    Of seeing his return in 2025 we hope for good luck to Vincent if we look at vcent of course and currently why we removed lecadi quite simply because he there was Brazil at that time and we left room for the return to the roots of the biking Man which is Taiwan since

    The idea was not to close the season as we did in 2023 on the bking Manix in Morocco but to close on Taiwan and unfortunately we had to make a choice we cannot please everyone the scadi remains an extraordinary stage but we have Brazil at that time because it is

    At the beginning of September as said the saying to choose is given up and you have made the perfect transition Axel since we are now going to talk about the last meeting of the season the bikingan in Taiwan the bikingan back in Taiwan it will be the 3rd edition

    In the history of this world championship departure on November 3 at noon from Taipe the capital Axel it’s nice to return to Taiwan even though we did the ro a few weeks ago and it still remains as magical there even after a few years it’s true it’s been a few

    Years it’s been 2019 it’s been 3 years since we returned to this island and it’s extraordinary extraordinary how to describe this island how to describe this route there clearly we have a trace revisit in relation to the years chip that we organized for 2 years a route

    That went around Taiwan there revisited the route taking into account the fact that the island is hit by typhoons regularly with the road infrastructure if you work in construction it’s there down that we have to go because they are constantly redoing the roads ah there

    Is work there is work forever and ever because really they are in this permanent logic of doing road repair work and for Well, it’s not easy, it’s a headache to manage to connect all these roads in such a way as to be sure that on the day of the race we have access

    To the roads in question. I would like to add a clarification because we can see the difference in altitude there currently on the map we are on a 1000 km which will make 18000 m of positive altitude difference there it is the American exaggeration of the software

    That I use it is not at all this difference in altitude we are over 18,000 m of positive altitude difference in total on a 100% road event because for the moment the places where we go are secondary roads but which are in very very good condition overall the route

    Is it is completely revisited he in relation in 2019 before it was almost a loop of the island there we stay on the east part in fact we know focused on the really most interesting parts and those on which we had the best feedback from the experience of the veterans who participated

    In the two editions of biking man Taiwan namely the jungle portions with the secondary roads with three-digit percentages I caricature but there is really an atmosphere as soon as we leave Tai we have in the images we have more than 3000 m there after a few hours we

    Are already in the middle of the jungle in Taiwan with extremely dense vegetation and a verticality which is quite difficult for the moment it replaces an escadi in certain aspects and the idea is to go and find the mythical Woling pass so This is the summit

    That you see there which is more commonly called the Taroko pass even if it is not the Taroko pass it is the Woling pass which has a summit it is the highest summit of the island culminates at more than 3000 m altitude and which has a majestic pass we can see it in

    The video there are plans that you made that c when we did the Roco it was sublime and so we’re going to attack it from the West from the East before climbing it from the East to the East, so the ascent is a little longer, it’s still almost limitless to reach

    3000 so you have to be patient but behind there is 100 km of descent and it takes hours to go down into the canyon to reach 100 km of descent you of course have no limit to

    Reach the village of taroco and suddenly arrive at the junction of the China Sea and the Philippine Sea to have this pocket that we see to the east of the island which allows us to take the wind in favor because until now we were heading south -north so the happy it was against

    The wind now the ultracyclists will have the wind in favor to descend due south and then switch back into what is called the Rift Valley uh and you have to come to understand why it is called the Rift Valley because precisely there are geological movements in this valley

    Which are extraordinary with an atmosphere which is very very particular in addition to the monkeys that we come across quite a few on the route to then follow the coast and reach taipé by final opinions which were prepared for me and conccted by the winner

    Of bikingman Taiwan 2019 whom I salute bris Bena who lives in Taiwan a Frenchman and who will normally participate in the biking man of Taiwan so it was also designed thanks to thanks to his help there are some sections which are really extraordinary plus the atmosphere

    Ah yes precisely Antoine auler says Taiwan the myth obviously there is someone who tells us well among other things in the 100 km of descent are the snakes and the spiders are still on the program Antoine aucller so in all my experience that I had in Taiwan and

    I went around I went around the bikingman course three and a half times uh I have never seen snake I have already seen spiders but snakes I have not seen after hearing from participants who see things hanging from trees which are either monkey tails or lianas yes

    But snakes I have never seen them in Sri Lanka yes but in Taiwan I have never seen one seen no the risk so tentis that we can call it a risk exoticism in any case it is the monkeys

    Clearly there are many many many many monkeys they do a lot at night in particular it’s special at night it’s special a nod to Jaco Jacques barge who had climbed the taroco é colle de woling with the monkeys who made crazy noises but there it is mainly the ones

    Monkeys which you have to be wary of because you shouldn’t get too close to them so Georgio doesn’t come with your bananas no ah because attacked by the monkeys ah or VI not that way otherwise it’s s going to come and get you back what are the temperatures so that’s

    Important in relation to the season what are the temperatures it’s Guillaume Bonich who tells us that I hope I pronounce it correctly what are the minimum and maximum temperatures that we should expect in Taiwan at that time and of course the first part of the tropical

    Course it’s a tropical island so it’s going to be hot humid there may be spit because we have the four seasons throughout when we say hot it’s around go 30 degrees ah yes it can be 30 degrees especially in the area with the bamboo forests where suddenly we are completely

    Under the trees and where it is really heavy and conversely the summit of the taroco of the Woling pass I will arrive there at 3000 at night ilit it is chilly it is close to 5 degrees what to then switch back to the east coast where this is the beach which I

    Give a nod to Greg who participated in the recce Greg Girard we did this section at night it was hot it was 27 degrees at night it’s extraordinary you hear the waves of the Philippine Sea with the sea spray coming into your eyes while you pedal, it’s really a part of recovery

    In fact which is really pleasant and which allows you to follow the entire eastern coastline and then finish on DP so overall it will be hot which is what we have to remember here it’s not it’s not it’s not what we have today he besides but hey people are complaining

    It’s too cold it’s too hot anyway there is someone who asks just to finish maybe we will finish soon it’s Bernard catin a nostalgic a revenge of our friend Lauren jalaberre I don’t know if he is registered you have news for the moment he is not registered but I

    Hope that he will come to defend his position on Morocco and to reach the end because he had still held the lead of the race for almost 600 almost 650 terminals so following the mechanical breakdown unfortunately he had to abandon but he still comes back at the

    Head of the race pant 650 so I hope he can come back to defend his title because you were talking about the championship Frédéric ago Mony who asks us if the rankings for bikingman the points awarded for each race are there any changes to be expected that is the same

    Operation for the ranking very very good question it is always the same operation to know that there is a ranking on the 1000 championship so there is the only specificity but that people now know is that the X Morocco counts double after all the other races the number

    Of points which is allocated according to of your position is accessible on the site byikan.com and it is identical depending on the positions on each of the races knowing that a little statistical information we have 50 people who are already registered for at

    Least two races of the bikiman championship this therefore means that will be classified in this classification since we recall one of the important rules is that to be classified in this ultradistance world championship you have to do a minimum of bikingan so we already

    Have 50 people who will be integrated of course if they cross the line arrival integrated into this ranking or there I see that there are some who are chary there Clément you are participating in which this year it is if there is only one to choose it would be

    Uh potentially Taiwan because that this allows me to make the link with another question that we have received which is interesting on Taiwan, it is the Rabito and I want to answer just with a slogan called 7- Eleven is the sound that we will hear in the 7eleven

    Fa no promotion must also say the Family Mart or 7eleven or Mar it’s the two businesses that exist they are everywhere on the Island it’s open 24 we don’t have so we have no problem refueling so well for refueling it’s perhaps even the easiest race yes it’s almost 24/24

    Ok ok and in fact you’re looking for just that to refuel yourself because that it’s open all the time so you can both warm up you can besides I invite the people who listen to us in France to try to find the team’s documentary because now we see Fabian mné

    Refueled we see the emblematic characters who made this this race legendary often refueling either in a 7eleven or in a family Mar if you go to the biking man Taiwan page of the biking man site you will find this team documentary

    It’s really easy it’s there is everything there is everything you need to eat to drink even overload recharge the equipment just as easily in all recharge the batteries exactly there is a lot of infrastructure for and even for cycling in families Mar and 7eleven sometimes

    There are pumps to be able to re-inflate your tires finally it’s really the areas where we go are isolated areas there are not many cyclists who go because the Taiwanese don’t really like the slope too much when cycling but that doesn’t prevent the branching on

    The supply side from being excellent, yes Jérôme a question no no well two small remarks there are some who say well since when talking about it 7eleven you have to plan one in Thailand with Chang ma it would be great in 2025 so I don’t know if you think about it but we’re

    Talking about it Thailand bikyan Thailand paper it makes you dream it makes you dream there are a lot of things to do but I’m sure that ‘he has ideas in mind it’s true it’s true Laos he’s going to have lots of things in store for us to do in Asia eh that’s a

    Territory it’s true who is and it’s true that to arrive somewhere to also finally tell the ingredients that make each race unique Taiwan for the moment on the side of the landscape uh we are completely at the cultural antipodes the way of exchanging with the people the

    Taiwanese finally it is the exchange with the taiw is it’s an experience in its own right independently of the bike and that the only way to realize it is the trip because for once there when we talk about the remote areas from Taiwan your English if you practice

    It won’t be of much use to you but if you speak Mandarin it can work yes but English it’s true that he doesn’t speak ah no no so it’s the language of those is Google Translate with all the discretion and shyness of the Taiwanese it’s it’s an experience last question

    Tony Tony asks us the question and someone else who asked it will it be complicated to find accommodation in Taiwan no very easy very easy there you go Tony you are reassured 7-Eleven family marart power naap microosieste right next door no but for accommodation we

    Use the classic platformouingou we find we find it so easily obviously well in fact all the mountain area of Taiwan if we finally have to the area if we have to describe in fact the island uh and if Fabrice you manage to give us the route of Taiwan in display

    Behind super thank you very much in fact we have this large ridge which separates the north to south the island of Taiwan and also the Rift Valley it bears that name because it is a plate finally it is an extremely strong tectonic zone which has created this island

    Uh there are plenty of areas which are very touristy because these are roads which were built to open up certain villages and at the same time bring Taiwanese to visit rural areas and in these rural areas which cross there are several sectors I don’t know if we remember

    Seeing that at the recce where there are campsites that are organized and built so that the Taayonese can get out of the city and somewhere go green because we’re not the only ones who like to

    Go in the middle of nature and in this case there are more than 200 peaks at more than 3000 m altitude in Taiwan and the Taiwanese are trying to develop their roads to be able to have at the summit there are plenty of roads which are one way not one way in etmoi

    Me guys it’s in it’s one in relation to there is no possibility of crossing there are only three roads which allow you to cross Taiwan in fact but there are lots of areas which are asphalted to reach areas where you can sleep in the mountains but on the other hand

    You have to turn around you have to go back and for once it’s it’s not a problem to find accommodation there is there there’s really everything you need after the ultra side for people who really want to race 7-Eleven family Mart power naap power naap little hot coffee

    With a good latte and then it’s gone eh sorry you you l did you do the rock I did it I did the Roco with Axel so there will be a presentation video which will be released in the coming

    Weeks that’s the little secret we’re revealing to you I was also in 2019 at bikyan Taiwan since I filmed the documentary that we co-produced with the team that you can watch it if you go looking on the bikyan site so I know a little bit yeah but there it’s it’s really

    Different this new route from 2024 compared to what we did before so it’s something new to discover it’s new experiences and then it allows us to take a look since that’s also the goal of this type of race a very different look at the context of Taiwan and on the Taiwanese

    Because it’s a country which is extraordinary it is people who are of rare kindness and and it feels good to be there it feels good to spend time in Taiwan because there is a special atmosphere it is a culture which is the antipodes of French and European culture

    And that it is worth going towards the other to discover how people live we talk a lot about the geopolitical side of Taiwan but it also has this side that we want you to discover with baikiman but I won’t tell you any more for that you have to register and

    Come with us you have to break the codes yes you have to break the codes because for the moment when we are on site and and I’m talking instead of necessarily different Girard who who came and who has the chance to participate in this recognition together once you land

    In when you land in Taiwan it’s you are at the antipodes of here are all the images that you can make of the island that you could have before on the made in Taiwan for example and at the same time on the geopolitical context of the island because afterwards you discuss

    With the locals and then you realize their daily life and you have to discover it, it’s it is important because it allows you to not close your eyes, keep your eyes open, that’s also what cycling is, come on, we’re approaching the end of this show, do you have any last

    Questions, do you have any questions? questions by the way friends it’s now or never yes it’s now or never no we were asked if there was pietra in Taiwan so I don’t know if it will

    Follow Axelle my knowledge it’s not yet orted but you we will be told and we are told the route done done done 11 11 1100 km or 1000 km 1000 km we always stay on the 1000 km there everyone seems delighted eh the people who followed us uh they are looking forward to

    ‘to be there eh we are all looking forward to being there there is even Jaco Jacques bar connected ah is if even Jacques manages to connect it is that we are off to a good start exactly good well well come on one last question or not my little jerô no, I don’t

    Have any last questions, just for fun, what you both said to yourselves that the capital of Taiwan was taipé taipé and well, young French people would do better to go to GO class because the other day I saw a teacher from Goo who was questioning a young student

    And when she asked him what the capital of your taiw was and well the young student replied Pkin madeid in ah made in ah or see so I remind for those who follow us madeidin is not the

    Capital of Taiwan the joke yes the joke there it is no but it’s true I saw it saw it live practical question from Frédéric Mony logistics is there has preferential rates for flights to Tawan so for Taiwan there is a national company which is little known but which is

    Called Eva R and which in this case offers direct flights which leave from Paris Charles for the French who are listening to us de Gaul and who go as far as taip and who take charge and this is one of the good points of the luggage airline in particular the bicycle

    Bag in the baggage allowance so it is the best because it allows you not to worry worry about knowing how we are going to transport the bike there so it is obvious that if I had to recommend one it would be this one because of the management of the bike and

    Then because it is a direct flight because it still allows you to save a little time and avoid stopovers and reduce the probability of losing luggage yes and tiring it before starting anyway and fatigue too yeah it counts and fatigue is that that there are last questions

    Yeah yes maybe it’s magnificent we have Vincent who thanks me who says to me voice without exit there it was VO without exit I lost my words so it’s late I’m looking for my words yes 9 p.m. there it is late you have to go and rest j question for Jérôme have you
