HIGH SPEED RACING with FINN ILES and KEVIN MIQUEL 💨💨

The Max Enduro race at Courchevel was a really nice race. The track was super fast, but fun to ride. One of my favorites next to Megavalanche and MOH.
We did 1 practice lap in the morning and raced in the afternoon. There was a lot of course cutting during the first 5 minutes.
It was nice to do some racing after a few weeks of the bike after the Megavalanche. I’m still in a good shape, but some good trainings would definitely helped me during this race. 😅😅
Now it’s time to start looking at the Megavalanche on Reunion Island in a couple of months.
If you want some more info about the race, just ask it in the comments. 👍👌

I’m an old roadie and these races are fascinating. The endurance and focus needed to compete far exceeds any road races I’ve experienced. Great job!

[@x3racer86]

That was a lot of fin !! Thank you for the upload and I just subcribed. Hope to see more and good luck to all of you wild and crazy racers. I love it !!!

It's really good to get to watch you on your natural element again Olivier! How are you my friend? I hope this message finds you well and healthier than when you ran MegaAvalanche. You always impress me with your raw pace...It's an absolutelly mega physical "show off" that you can put on. You're mighty and always fast. Seeing this, I wanted to ask you a question, if you don't mind. The last time we spoke I didn't yet have my Propain Tyee Cf 180/160mm in a complete form, only the Stumpjumper 160/150mm. It was still waiting for my mechanic to assemble it. As it turned out, only last friday the build was completed. It turned out a simply gorgeous enduro bike but I screwed heavilly with the dropper. Bought a Syncros Duncan 1.5S 180mm and apparently it is miles away from my natural pedaling distance- pedal to groin/saddle. It's a thing that Remy Metailler also heavilly complains about with his various Propains. I'm lucky if my Medium size frame allows my 171cm's a 140mm Syncros dropper...Wich is utterly disapointing. The other thing was, and here comes the question, the weight. I spent a LOT of money on carbon Olivier...It still came in at 14,74 kgs. Wich is a lot, for me anyway. I'm guessing you're not a small guy, do you pedal a Large Scott frame? How much does you bike weigh, "dry weight"? Just with an empty bottle cage and without pedals? Do you have that number? I'll be waiting to hear from you. As always, I wish you all the best, from Coimbra Portugal.

Danku!

[@oscarreyes4619]

what a wild tour man XD... 🤘😂👌..

[@olivierbruwiere]

Hahaha thx!

[@FlyingMeta]

Wicked race! Easier to ride than mega, but a lot longer, much higher avg speed and smaller gaps for some proper tight racing 🔥 i think u should have pulled a Hugo at min 20:00 🤣 the gap was maller than i thought after the DH section, ur really strong on the climbs 👊

[@olivierbruwiere]

Haha, after the Mega I took some rest and entered this race last minute. So I was already happy to be in front. No Hugo moves for now. Let’s try to do this next time.

[@deevke13]

real beautiful run!! prachtig!!! this race had everything!

[@olivierbruwiere]

Merci!

[@AhmedAliRazzaq-xq4hj]

Kevin miquel shocked you at 28:27. End point of race. Congratulations for 2nd position l. Olivier bruwiere.

[@olivierbruwiere]

Thx! I was on my limit after some weeks off the bike after Mega. Still happy with the race.

[@stevendumoulin2892]

Super man. Prachtig om je te zien strijden met die grote namen uit de MTB. En je wint bijna :).

[@olivierbruwiere]

Thx!!

[@christianobermeier7862]

absolute flying lads !

[@olivierbruwiere]

[@andreguerreiro44]

[@bascanu1]

[@olivierbruwiere]

Thx!!

[@whiterottenrabbit]

7:05: Gotta love the Doppler effect! Also, what is the deal with the constant corner cutters?

[@olivierbruwiere]

Thx! I try to stay on track, but indeed. Lots of cutting! They need some more tape or gates

[@ArmaniFlyHigh]

great run!

[@olivierbruwiere]

Thx!

[@joaoesdevao461]

cool,feels like endless,how many km? greetings from Portugal

[@olivierbruwiere]

Hello! The track was around 20km long.

[@user-ho1pm2xj1c]

tough race. probably not a very comfortable route for you. great run in 19:20-21:20. good thing, you decided to enter the forest first (23:15) and not let them get away and this year there was no mountain of hell?

[@olivierbruwiere]

Thx! No, Mountain of Hell got cancelled due to bad weather.

[@Svenalae]

Amai, super spannend. Ik dacht da ge het ging halen.

[@olivierbruwiere]

Merci! Net te snel op kop gezeten hé

[@Joker-gm9ss]

Olivier, you are really good at climbing, but the others were better at descending the curves... You could have put in a little extra effort to be undisputed first... By the way, did Damien and Kilian participate in this race?

[@olivierbruwiere]

Yes, I think it’s normal that they are faster on the DH stuff. Finn is a worldcup DH winner and Kevin did EDR podiums. I’m not in the same shape as Mega, but I’m happy!

[@olivierbruwiere]

No Damien and Kilian

[@AhmedAliRazzaq-xq4hj]

These guys in blue and black. They were so strong. Who were they?

[@olivierbruwiere]

Kevin Miquel and Finn Iles

[@BWOOHAHAHAAA]

The guy in front of you from about 1:50, has such an awkward cornering technique.

[@olivierbruwiere]

Yeah, they are fast at the start, but mostly can’t keep the speed up.

[@HumberGarcia]

Do you have a bike check video on your setup?

[@olivierbruwiere]

Not yet. Maybe a good idea!

[@nenzinnz]

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@olivierbruwiere]

Thx!

[@AhmedAliRazzaq-xq4hj]

What is the name of race??

[@olivierbruwiere]

Max Enduro Courchevelle by the Cyclingevent

[@SirAntBo]

Chainring size?

[@olivierbruwiere]

I was ln the 32T. Normally I would run a 34T for the mass starts. Even won Megavalanche on the 36T in 2022. We did this race last minute and I did not changed the ring.

[@SirAntBo]

@@olivierbruwiere Impressive riding brother 🙏🏿

[@alfredovillarreal8700]

sin posiciones ni velociidad se pierde mucho lastima no sabes quien gana nada

[@olivierbruwiere]
