Check out this exclusive race footage onboard with 2 time Olympic champion Julien Absalon, shot at the 2016 Olympic MTB course.
First lap, uncut!
Julien rode his BMC Team Elite hardtail bike equipped with an XTR Di2 drivetrain, 32T single chainring and 11-40 cassette.

We have tons of trails but I believe it has to do with some sort of uci(olimpic) protocol to public/media acess(parking, stands, etc) and safety, mainly security. This pratically excludes all of the natural trails everywhere.. it's diferent from uci world cup...
I got exhausted just watching the video. These guys have awesome cardio.
XC World Cup isn't XC Olympics.
Saludos !
que ritmo de carrera tan impresionante!! 😨😨
Nice video!
What a nice trail! I want to ride on it!
Julian.. The best of all times!!!
I miss mountain biking so fucking badly. Unfortunately those days are gone. I'm 60 now and sold all my MTB gear. I would have loved that course.
Ever considered E-biking? It's kind of magic
The problem for me wasn't with having the power or skills it was the crashes that my body couldn't handle anymore. It seems like I would getting more serious injuries from simple falls and end up taking more trips to the hospital. From all the MRI's I found out that arthritis is in the joints and I'm just not as flexible any more. Not a problem for road biking though. I don't have the lungs to race but I still put on about 200 to 250 miles a week road biking.
Easy cross-country trails and may be fat-biking sand and gravel paths along the shore lines welcome you.
Eu moro pertinho dessa nova pista dentro do Campo de Gericinó do Exército eu corro ai dentro há anos e não vejo a hora das olimpiadas acabar para retornar os treinos nesse local..showwwwwww
A pista vai ser mantida? Sou de SP mas adoraria ter a oportunidade de andar nela um dia.
Que eu saiba sim.
Bellissimo...Grande...!!!@!!
holy smoke! that was intense!
ohh my god!
it's really hard for a hard trail
No sprint??
is this a cyclocross course?
Hi Nicolas,
If it was a cycle cross course he is quite challenging :-)
But it is the Olympic MTB course in Rio.
Keep riding!

+Nicolas Côté Compared to the WorldCup courses this course is rather ridiculous. Very fast and no technical challenges (for pro riders). :-/
almost
Obviously you'd have won gold, but suddenly you woke up and are nursing a hangover from all the caipirinhas
That is a good course challenging looks better than Hadleigh park.
A classical olympic XC track.... Very nice.... I would like ride in this circuit.
you are joking? Looks like a childs course.
for those of you complaining about the technical elements of the course it's not the builders fault , UCI passed a rule for 2016 that no more gap jumps may be included and that tracks are to be less technical to make room for more climbing ....What they are trying to do is give the riders that are "fitter" the bigger advantage over the more technical riders. I DON'T SUPPORT THIS AT ALL I just wanted to shed some light on why the track is the way it is.
Cheers
- This circuit does not favor especially those in better physical condition, but the tactical approach. Many rolling passages, where one can benefit from the aspiration and therefore the work of the adversary or team members.
- Secondly, it favors more powerful runners than explosive runners.
Do you have the sources of your assumption?
JustFrana Then why did I compete at a UCI event in South Africa in 2017, which was extremely technical and had four gap jumps?
Quien Gano ,?¿?
агонь-видуха. внатуре лайк!
Can a person who uploaded this video, please, enlighten me how it was filmed, edited, and rendered, so that there is no shaking, in spite of the uneven terrain, rocks, jumps, etc. I film my rides with GoPro Hero and the video is never so smooth and sharp. There always is a lot of shaking and blur in the video caused by bumps and speed. Please help me out, I really would appreciate this.
+Lech Biegalski A real camera with a real OPTICAL stabilizer (opposite to digital).
GoPro doesn't like shaking hands with beef.
Awesome... there are more photographers than viewers in the track
+Cycling ESP It was a private test event for prospective athletes, national federation staff, etc.
It would take me about 2 hours to get around that track.
Hey man, this is an olympic track where Sagan is going to take part?
yes ,it is ,he`s gonna kill it :)
meh.. really doubt it. he hasn't been in XC race for so long. besides, there are a lot of XC stars that he needs to beat (absalon, schürter, kulhavy etc.)
+Mohammad Farhan Sukarjo Yeah, I think Sagan is more specialized in route bike
voy por Peter Sagan o Nino Schurters
want to ride that track very badly... I literally ride in the wilderness, theres snakes in the trails I ride and race
Would love to see heart rate data superimposed during the races
Hi Thomas,
We would love to see that too! We will see what the future will bring us. Keep riding,
Willem - Team Shimano
Easy, for Julien around 115 and 125 when he climb :)
That's crazy low! I thought they would be anaerobic during the whole race
And cadence as well!
+Thomas Tiotto : I hope you realized frankoi57v is a troll.
2:46 Isn't this rock in the middle of the track dangerous?!
If this looks easy and lines seem wrong it is only a testament of fish-eye lenses failing to represent reality
14 minutes for one lap?
+Peter sauer Nope. It's around 4,5 and 5 minutes per lap. :-)
Sagan Gold

Sam the man out in front on lap one pity about the mechanicals and punctures bro
The course is too smooth really - needs a year of the public riding on it to tear it up and make it more technical.
Agreed.
That course looks incredibly lame. I would think they'd be able to put together a far better track in Brazil for the Olympics. That looked like riding through a park.
Official results for Julien was 8th place.
it' s an cyclist very very good!!!! awesome
So many wrong choices on the track choice JESUA '-'
Un minuto más de video y lapean a los mexicanos...
looks very hard.
Julien just let you guys win...
What a boring track. They need to learn from the World Cup tracks. More natural terrain. This one reminds the London Olympics. Boring man made track.
+RC1986 R this way the visibility will be better for spectators. i know it doesn't look as a WC but still, very tough track :)
+RC1986 R I have to agree, but It's for a reason. And the reason is - fans. There will be a LOT of them and organizators made a race track where you can watch the race not just from one tribune but almost everywhere around the track.
Who made this track is the same who made the london track and other olimpics games! This is just a test event they will do some more adjustments but in my personal opinion who lives and rides in brazil its aewsome because here on the trails the rocks are just like this!!!
+Victor Ricardo they don't know the brazilian trails hahaha...
+Matheus Ribeiro Com certeza!!! Hahahahaha
SAM GAZE OUT FRONT KIWI REPRESENT!!!!!!!!!
Id love to ride that coarse. Id of coarse take a little more time.... To uh.. enjoy it.. Yep thats right...
Who the fu#k put this giant rocks at the trail???
To much artificial elements, just a fast track, little technical zones just big rocks, no high technical climbs, a flat soft terrain very bad choosen and worked XCO circuit, there´s no excitement to go and watch this race. La brese, Mount sant Anne, Albstadt are XCO Tracks where fans can enjoy a beautiful and highly technical race , but this is a shame for the sport.-
Enougth technical. Lot of falls !
What's with all the heavily edited MTB races these days?... At least with cyclocross you get the opportunity to watch full races rather than these cut down clips. All this does is minimize the sport's image.
where are the coconuts and the hot bazilian girls?????
Funny you ask that because it looks like they've brought the beach sand but left behind the beach babes.
What a strange course.
Man, this course designer really has it out to injure riders with no long easy way around rock gardens.
dull
That course looks so un natural and sterile big thumbs down
+Triadlateralus I was about to post a similar comment. Human touch is okay, but this track is ridiculous...
+Triadlateralus thats why these dumbnuts want 29ers.. just rolling down the road.. wow, boring as hell
+Stunt Vist "more grip and less rolling resistantce" that single comment makes no sense whatsoever, so... rethink it all over
Got to be the most boring course for xc ever...cross bike would get round that easy enough
Just like London it in my opinion is a horrible course besides the descents, nothing looks natural and it is not a true mtb course. It looks like someone just put a bunch of obstacles that are unnatural looking in the course. Reply if you agree.
+Braeden Anderson agree lol... i live in singapore. we have a sever lack of mtb trails.. and fancy more but nope. Organic trails with quality over this shit any day.
I agree but i must say i takes skill to make a track this shitty and boring.
nah... how hard is it to pour sand over a flat ground hahaha
