He overtakes 118 riders! // MEGAVALANCHE QUALIFIER, Alpe d'Huez, France / Damien Desbrosses run

[@andrewzhang1290]

I could actually _feel_ the ground get smoother as he went onto the paved road

[@Granolie]

lmao I thought the same exact thing, so bizarre how that is.

[@dadeee7776]

@@Granolie not bizarre at all its just how it is paved roads are smoother then dirt tracks and rocky tracks

[@quantumcat7673]

Nice buzz. You heard it like everyone else.

[@intrinsicrewards1266]

What a beast!!!!!!! But pleeeeeease, next time, add a bit of extra space after the footage ends, and use that for the clickable links. I was so invested in this guys journey, it was a shame I had to watch him cross the finish line obscured by the clickable links.

[@EveryTongueShallTell]

Or youtube could stop fucking about, how about that?

[@AtotehZ]

@Sean Smurfy I agree they should.. but that's like watching into a bear cage without protection because you think they oughta stop attacking humans. Refusing to get with the program because you think it should be different is rarely productive. In the case of the uploader he probably just didn't think of it becoming an issue.

[@EveryTongueShallTell]

That's a bad attitude, and it's probably exactly what the programming wants you to think, assume things their way. It's cheeky of them to do what they did, they knew that it would get in the way of the end of the video and ruin it, and yet, they still fucking did it. They might run the show around here but they are nothing without us, this is obvious. Without us there is no youtube, now that's the right attitude to be spreading.

[@intrinsicrewards1266]

Oh mate, yours is the bad attitude. KZbin is a private company. Get over it. This was an awesome video to watch. Ads are inevitable. It just would have been better IMHO if the clickable links didn't obscure the end of the video. Constructive criticism for the uploader, not a KZbin conspiracy...

Imagine a rear view camera on his helmet. We would love to see how far did you leave those you overtook or battle from the behind if there were any. Beast mode; mad respect. I don't even own a bicycle.

[@Airik1111bibles]

Probably see them all flipping him off..that or total discouragement maybe both😂

[@NaturalMystic69]

I was thinking the same thing yesterday after watching another run. Would be great to have rear-facing cameras also and show them as a Picture in Picture window so what's going on behind as well as in front of the rider. That and I've noticed some riders don't have their front-facing camera facing up enough so we can't see very far ahead of them. That said, this was an absolutely amazing run! Damien has the endurance of a horse! I'm also surprised that parts of this run, especially the beginning with all the steep switch-backs were part of a qualifier track and not a main event. Crazy stuff!

9th! goddam! I thought you was gonna win! That was sick AF! Well Done Man!

[@AtotehZ]

ADZ It's almost impossible to win if you're last line. The seeded riders are in the first line and they're almost certainly going to be fast already. If you're last line you have to make your way through all the slower riders and in the meantime the seeded 1st line riders are out of there. Dunno if you noticed, but in the beginning when he was being slowed by others it was because there were so many he couldn't pass. In the end it was because they were almost the same speed and sometimes didn't let him pass.

[@drogoth25]

This dude should never be seeded out of the top 5 ever again

[@team3383]

Pity he kept on cutting the video when he ran into people and either tehy fell (him bullying his way past) or they both fell (because he was incapable of keeping out of the way - control - and coming from behind too fast to slow down enough). A bit of a bully this guy.

[@Elebreon]

Why is he so much faster than everyone else? Weight. Physics tells us weight gives the mass to add that velocity when pointed down a hill, and this dude's balls alone weigh seventy pounds apiece.

[@adamsmith-bg5wq]

you obviously don't understand physics. weight is irrelevant.

[@kilianbader9786]

adam smith actually wrong. It's only irrelevant when there is no friction. A heavier rider will go a little bit faster than a lighter one because the aerodynamic drag does not increase linear with weight. Maybe +30% weight means +30% gravitational force but only increases drag by 10% (frontal area will not increase by 30%).
