MEGAVALANCHE 2023 🥉
Really happy with the 3rd place after a perfect race for me.
Hugo Pigeon and Damien Oton were to fast for me.
Avg heart rate : 172 bpm
Max heart rate : 183 bpm
Avg speed : 29.3 km/h
Max speed : 92 k/h
Bike:
- Scott Genius ST 910
- EXT fork/shock
- Michelin wild enduro tires
- Shimano XTR groupset
- Wheelstuff handbuild wheels
I'd be terrified knowing Kilian Bron is somewhere behind in 4th place. 😂 Amazing race and congratulations on 3rd place!
Lucky I did not see him during the race!
a lot of snow at the beginning, those who got out first got a good handicap right away, many seconds of separation. I want to watch the race from the Bron's camera. Perhaps he got out from distant places? well done - all the first three
@@taxamata Yeah, Watching Stefan Peters video, the top three had a 30 second lead by the first lake so it was going to be near impossible for anyone to catch them. Stefan and Killian had their own race for 4th and 5th. Totally incredible racing.
@@taxamataimaging riding after this in the amateur class, with a startdelay of 2 hours😂
@@taxamataFYI Kilian uploaded his race this time with written commentary, I highly recommend watching it!
Congrats man! Two years in a row in the podium is sick! 🤟🏼
Yeah, I’m stoked!
OH MY GAHD! You beat Kilian Bron! 😱 Incredible! You really are one of the beasts! CONGRATULATIONS FOR Megavalanche 2023🥉placer, @Olivier🥳🎉💐👏 We're happy for you 😊
Thx! I’m also a happy guy!
Such endurance, we appreciate you sharing this race with us. Otherwise we would never know
Thx ! With pleasure!
Great ride! After the snowy area, I won't be surprised if next year they add a section where you have to swim with a bike. 😅😅😅
It would be so cold to swim above 3000 meter 😨
How tough it must be to race half an hour alone ! No competitors in front or behind, with the only drive an pressure coming from inside... Very impressive mental energy, thanks for sharing your race !
Thx! Yes. Racing against yourself is not easy. But less stressful compared to last years race!
Watched Kilan's race. The great start you had had you ahead of the collision the 2 riders had at the top. Great ride man!
Thx man!
I think this kind of racing offers the most compelling and exciting POV footage of any sport. Like by far.
Thx mate!
Bro just finished the race and then went home to upload it for us. Appreciate!
Haha! With pleasure! 😘
I felt every minute of it. You gave it your all. That groan when your pulse is at its limit. Very cool. What a great achievement. I would really like to celebrate with you.
Thx mate! I’m allready looking forward to the next race!
Congrats! That was a good race. Also, it's nice to see so many spectators this year. The race is getting more popular each year :)
Yes, really motivating to ride the climb with the spectators.
Dude you kicked ass this year in both Mountain of Hell and Megavalanche. Good performance all around. Keep it up brother!
Yeah thx! Last year I was 4 @ MoH and 3 at Mega. 🔥🔥
These videos are absolutely insane... I respect your fearlessness and work ethic... wow.
Thx!
great race! . . and also among the first (Theo Galy n.1) to put the video of the race here on youtube.
I know you guys like it fast 😘🔥
You guys are gods who can ride so fast on bike on the difficult, sometimes dangerous, bike road made of snow, ice and rocks
We train hard for it. Thx!
@@olivierbruwiere 1:47 If I owned the land you guys ride on, I'd plow away the deep snow you must run your bike on.
Or is it meant for you guys to do that? It will take a lot of energy and it's still a long way to the finish line 😐
Well done, me lad. And you beat Kilian Bron?! AND made a wheelie at the end? A+ for effort and style! Really great effort, bravo!
Thx man! 🔥🔥
Truly a great ride Olivier, i had to watch it again. Thanks for sharing.
Thx man! I will make some new videos this summer.
I’m riding vicariously through your view. You are courageous and your endurance is inspiring. Than you for sharing! Amazing!
With pleasure! 😃🔥
Thanks for letting us share the ride along with you ! Great job by all of you competitors . The view is exhilarating . 🙂
Thx man!
Thanks for watching the video! If you have some questions, shoot!
It would help me if you can give me a follow on Instagram. Link in bio. 🤙
Number2 Hugo Pigeon 1st@39min.34seconds and Damien Oton 2nd@39min.54seconds were TOO fast for me. Olivier Bruwier 3rd@40min.55seconds
Yeah they were on fire!
I like your videos that include your thoughts and strategies edited into ride (race). Thanks for sharing.
What a ride man, you've absolutely stormed that glacier. Hope you can fight for the win next year.
Thx! We will try!
My 7 year old finally gave me some peace and quiet so I was able to start watching your videos. And I started with this one, the BIG one, wich I've been wanting to see for days. And I've got to tell you Olivier...I still can't quite believe you three were able to catch the two great titans completely off-guard in the start. Leaving Killian and Stefan behind is...an achivement just on it's own, specially after Killi's race last year. He was itching to win this year and beat Stefan. He did beat him but still arrived after you! And you rode a near flawless race. Congratulations, it was a well deserved podium, again! It's a shame that Hugo's pace that day was pretty much bleastering intouchable because you should have won this! I send you my regards, again, from Portugal!
Thx! We had a prefect start and the snow conditions were the best for the first riders. 🤟🏻
Really enjoyed this ride - it was flat-out all the way! Congratulations on being on the podium. Thanks for posting the video.
With pleasure!
You guys are crazy. Brilliant, but crazy! 👍🏼
Haha thx!
Felicitaciones , a todos esos muchachos que se entregan con disciplina , al deporte que regalo d Dios todos esos paisajes y lo que ha echo para nosotros un abrazo Maximiliano rubiano
Thx!
Éste año hay demasiada nieve en la salida ❤👍👍🤩🤩🇨🇷 Saludos desde Costa Rica
We love the snow! But it has to be cold to keep it hardpack.
Half way through and I'm knackered just watching it.... 😂👍👍
😅😄😄
Great Race!!!! It's always nice also to see good sportsmanship!!!!
Thx!
@@olivierbruwiere you're welcome!!!
Those people from Switzerland are super nice!
Yes they are!
Olivier, I congratulate you on the 3rd place!) Although a month after the race). By the way, you have a lot of fans from Russia and we are rooting for you!) And we look!!
Cool to have some Russian fans. Thx! 🤙🤙
those megavalanche vod somehow is relaxing to watch before go to sleep
Enjoy! 😴💤
Fantastic race. This is the kind of race I only could dream about when I was a kid, 50 years ago. Tour de France is BORING compared to this race! Congratulations on a well deserved 3rd place. Best wishes from northern Norway. :)
Thx for watching! Happy you enjoyed it!
Fantastic ride Olivier, thanks for sharing it! Well done!
Thx!
That was fantastic work in the snow!! Can't even fathom how that wasn't disaster around the :22 second mark.🤦♂️
Crazy guys!
I saw the whole video, first of all congratulations for the amazing race, since I discovered this race I can only see it every year; secondly I saw that in addition to driving you were constantly cleaning the go pro🤣🤣🤣 taking further risks, but don't worry there was no need, it could be seen well and it was clean; third how many kilometers is the whole journey?; fourth after a race like that the chassis still usable for other races? Thank you
Hello!
Thx for the questions.
Cleaning the lens is not a big deal and you guys like a clean view. 😘
The race is 21km long and about 2700m of downhill. On friday we race qualifications on a shorter track.
I use the same bike for the whole year. It will get scratched, but it works perfect. We change brakepads, tires, wheels, get our suspension serviced, change bearing of the frame 1 or 2 times a year,… the frame can brake after a big crash,… but I don’t think this happens often.
@@olivierbruwiere How do you do to remember the entire track? It's just insane, there are so many trails!
That lady at 21:31 was on fire.
That’s my girlfriend 🔥
Fantastic, young fella. 👏👏👍
Thx!
hey bro, greetins from brazil, big fan of bron here. such a nice race u had, next year, who knows, maybe u or bron to the lead!
Thx! We will try for sure!
Gefeliciteerd met opnieuw een fantastische prestatie. Greetings Team Streetrace Zarren
Bedankt! 👍👍🔥
Nice one Olivier! Thanks
Great race!
Awesome Race
Thx!
Congratulations ma 🎉🎉 You did well❤ 2024 its yours 🎉🎉

1000th times MEGA-Better than Formula 1. Congrats to winners and all participants. Serious business here!
Thx mate!
Super, nice to meet you
Thx!
Beautiful race, congrats Olivier!
Thx!
What a race. What a video. 🔥
Thx for protecting my brains! The Lazer Cage is the perfect helmet for this race.
.. congratulations from Colombia ...👍👍👍 ....
Thx for watching!
Amazing
Thx!
Just came from Kilians video. Incredible run, congratulations!
Thx!
Damn did the 1st and 2nd place dude had an E-Bike.. they were flying....
Yeah, insane how fast they are. No ebikes, but fulltime pro’s with lots of talent.
Wonderful run, amazing !!! congratulation !
Thx!
Excellent performance, congratulations!!!!!
Thx for watching!
Hello olivier please you can commentary with race like kilian boron. And congrats for 3rd place after a perfect start on glaciers.
Thx! I’m not editing the video’s for now.
Hello bro. It's OK I was just joking. You are very good and perfect rider .
This had everything! Even a naked guy. LOL
Hahahaha
Epic race mate!!
Thx!
Im not a mountain biker but i find these videos very entertaining. The riding is insane and the scenery spectacular. One thing that struck me is the fact that there are no obese people standing along the course. If this was in america at least 50% of the people would be overweight.
In the Alps most of the people are sportive and active living. 🔥👌
@@olivierbruwiere absolutely beautiful part of the world.
Prachtig route en een mooie prestatie, gefeliciteerd man!
Thx!
Houaaa félicitations bro tu avais un Kylian et un Stéphan derrière toi remonter !! Bravo tu peut être fière !!!
Thx
C'est presque comme si c'est moi qui est sur le vélo. L'excitation à son comble sans efforts!
Happy that you enjoyed it!
great footage!
Thx!
❤😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. Thanks for the ride. 🇺🇸
Thanks for watching on the other side of the world!
@@olivierbruwiere I’m 70 and I still ride my mountain bike daily I would love to give that coarse a try even at my age unfortunately there’s nothing extreme to ride here in Eustis Florida.
Letting Oton pass this way was a great show of sportsmanship!
If someone is faster, letting them pass is the best option.
I hope the other riders will do the same.
@@olivierbruwiere It's in the true spirit of the sport, but I've seen other examples, like in XC or road cycling. I guess when enough money comes into play.
And some people are just like this, they don't need money as an incentive to not let anyone pass.
@@olivierbruwiere Also I've just watched Oton's video, he thanked you for it and said that you didn't have to do it 🥳
Yes, I saw the video. He would do the same.
Go dawgie!!🤙
🔥
Congratulations!
Merci!
congrats
Thx!
great ride
Thx!
Awesome stuff 😊
Thx!
Bellissimi i video fatti così si
Grazie! 🤙🤙
難以置信 基利安·布朗 與第3名差距如此的大，前段雪地差距拉開太多了! congratulations 🥉
Thx! The first 3 riders took the better line at the end of the snow.
Everybody is still close and can choose there line. Taking some risk is part of the game. This time it worked out for me. 🔥
Güzel yarıştın dostum Tebrikler Türkiye'den selamlar 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👋👋👋
Thx man!
Very smooth.
Thx!
Think that lassie wanted her bottle back !
Don’t understand it
Congrats
Thx!
This race looks insane, I’d love to give it a go one year
It is! Go for it!
Dude In first is a animal 😳
Jup!
What's the language and what does it mean when the people on the sidelines say "Ah dee ah dee ah dee"
allez allez allez! French, shorthand of conjugated aller (to go) “vous allez” (you go). So roughly in English translates as “go go go!”
Dutch. I’m from Belgium. It means go go go
Great job Oli!!
Merci! You 2!
So what will it take for you to get as good as those first two guys? They blew everybody away.
I’m working fulltime. Mountainbiking is a hobby for me. There are a lot of other guys who are riding fulltime. Big difference.
After a race, I drive home because on monday morning, I have te be at work.
All world best sports
😍😍
Félicitations !
Merci!
Olivier, you’re vidéo is absolutely fascinating. You are an amazingly skilled athlete. I was wondering why Hugo and Damien seemed to go faster than you in the downhill sections. Are they heavier than you?
Thx man!
Hugo and Damien are professional riders and can ride there bike every day all over the world.
I’m working full time next to biking and try to ride my enduro bike 1 or 2 times a week.
My respect for you has gone up ten fold. Thanks for the reply.
Great job!! I enjoyed watching your run, but it is possible to improve the video quality? A lot of the scenery details get blurrier the faster you go and aren’t as clear as, say, one of Kilian’s videos. Much support from the US 🙌🙌🙌
Hi! Thx for watching. I’m filming with the Gopro in 4k. The only thing that makes the quality go down, is the upload to RUclips. But in 4k HD it looks pretty oké on my tv.
Congratulations, awesome ride 👍
Merci!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Top. Assustador , porém divertido. Brasil
Thx!
impressive effort mate well done
Thx!
🔥🔥🔥
😘
My ears are popping from the elevation change just by watching this...
I had the same during the race. 🔥
You were out of the snow in 4 minutes. Later, the snow was so churned up and loose that those farther back took as long as 14 minutes. Just FYI.
Jup. That’s why we ride qualification. To get a good start position and try to be fast. It’s like this every year. That’s Megavalanche. 👌
I wanna see the MEGA MEGAVALANCHE.... The one where they start in town, ride to the top, then ride down....
I would try that! Sounds cool!
@@olivierbruwiere I know right?! You might get some xc fools on xc bikes racing to the top, only to have to tip-toe down. You might get your downhill guys riding their downhill bikes up, taking forever, but then crushing the downs. Would be really intersting to see which combo/type of rider/bike would win...
Last year I rode my enduro bike back to Alpe d’huez after the race. 2h30 of climbing. 🤪
@@olivierbruwiere You win!!!!
Well done! This looks so amazing and also extremely heavy.
What is track lenght and what avarage speed do you reach?
The track is 21km. According to Strava and Garmin, I rode 29,5 km/h average speed.
Why do you ride the Genius and not Scott's enduro model Ransom?
Amazing riding, do you know every meter of the track or is it sometimes riding blind?
The Genius is the perfect bike for 95% of my riding. And it’s an efficient pedaling bike. Important for enduro racing.
Also loved the Ransom for the last 3 years.
We can ride the track the whole week. But still not easy to remember every stone.
Haha je regardais celle de killian. Du coup méga spoil il est pas troisième. Petit garnement . Suspens. Super vidéo en tout cas !! Merci !!
With pleasure! 🤓🤓
@@olivierbruwiere un nouvel abonné. A shame 😂🎉
恭喜恭喜🎉
Thx!!
Wait up - how fast were you going at 29:58 when you decided to double no-hander shake your arms loose? o_O Insane run, well done!
If I look @ my Garmin app, I was riding 45-50 km/h. On the wide and clean trail. Perfect time to shake the arms.
@@olivierbruwiere Hah, awesome! Such a great race, I loved the full on attack down the snow at the start, head down and brakes wide open!
is there any rules of bike specification for this megavalanche? Im just dreaming rn but maybe someday i could go to that insane event!
You can race every bike you want.
What is that front tire? It looks like a Wild AM2 but on your Instagram EXT image I believe it says "Wild Enduro" in grey? Also what is that rear tire? Thanks.
I’m riding Michelin Wild Enduro tires. These ones are not yet for sale.
Nice run.
Thx!
