Can't believe I saw this comment AFTER I watched and read it all 😭😂

[@maximevincent58]

Great!!

[@siemensohm]

The text was unnecessary and distracting. Less is more.

[@ricomon35]

Thanks for the link @KillianBron. I watched with the subtitles, only mildly distracting for me. Always very impressed with your race films. I'm 62, with some back problems, so I don't ride aggressive downhill MTB much anymore, mostly cross-country single track in my native state, Oregon, USA. I have ridden some fast downhill on Mt. Hood back in the day. But never in such sloppy wet conditions as the Megaavalanche ! A Kona Kikapu Deluxe with many component upgrades was my usual ride. I wish you all the best with your future rides and races !

[@eX1Dtv]

My yearly return to listen to Kilian breath into my ears for 40 minutes. Perfection.

Breath in French. read in English. Good stuff.

Phew... I'm tired just listening to him!

[@BrandedCanuck]

I don't even cycle, but I find myself coming back to these videos all the time. Ever since discovering this channel randomly years ago, I always look forward to these races.

[@billietyree2214]

Me too. I cycled from 13 years old till I was 88. Now at ninety I E-bike. We didn’t have such races when I was young or I would have tried. I was never in as good a shape as these men are though.

[@navinsoni806]

Same here. Its like I eagerly wait for megavalanche so I can see Killian race again!!

[@MnCB_x]

🙋

[@danielesidari1754]

Anch'io, stessa cosa, mi piacciono queste gare estreme, Killian è fra i più forti 👍

[@Kampy_]

Waiting a couple extra days for Killian's video is definitely worth the wait... because the captions he provides to explain the situation and context, and what he was thinking, makes Killian's videos 100X more interesting and compelling. I am grateful that most of the top riders seem to agree to NOT spoil the suspense by giving away the results in the thumbnails / descriptions... because I like to avoid knowing the results and following along with the perspective of the riders in these POV videos without knowing what will happen... makes it 100X more exciting to watch. My adrenaline is spiked just from watching the videos! I feel Killian Bron will surely win Megavalanche eventually- he is always is the mix at the very front... even this year when he was having an "off" day. There should be a race like this in the Olympics! Even though I am American and there are no Americans among the handful of potential winners, it would be a joy to watch Killian race for gold on French soil

[@frasermoffatt1817]

yeah, I watched a few so far but have been waiting for Killian's as well.

[@AileenBaker]

Macky Franklin (from New Mexico) finished 8th this year

[@IT-fr4wb]

most extreme form of downhill exercising I’ve ever had t pleasure to watch !! most people won’t even understand athletes like this.. keep competing Kilian/ love your content (old dh bum in NZ).

[@Kampy_]

@@AileenBaker Yeah I watched both of Macky's videos - he was amazing, especially on the climbs. An overall top 8 (and really he should have been 7th) at his very first mega is super impressive. I hope he keeps going back every year... I'll be cheering for both Killian and Macky

[@almazabdullin9074]

У нас ест человек, который комментирует его гонки и выкладывает на ютуб, тоже интересно 👍

[@antog42]

Kilian, you are Mr. Megavalanche for me! From the first time I heard about the race, your videos are the ones that bring the race to life and introduced me to the magic! Thank you!

[@Tumid1]

I have probably watched 50+ mass start races & your's are definitely the best. The running commentary of your thoughts/strategies adds another level to the videos. It's easy to just dismiss the speed of top riders as..they're just aliens...but you really demonstrate that getting on a podium at this level is as much mental as it is aerobic & technical. Well done.

[@FlyingMeta]

If you want to watch a more down to earth run, then you can find one on my channel 😉 its good to compare for speed, line choice and fitness

[@gizzyroberts18]

Hello Tumid Since you seen that many races, It seems like there's a bunch of places that look misleading, on several I defiantly would have turned the wrong way. These guys must have a resting heart rate in the 40s, . I was thinking back how Secretariat's heart was 28 lbs. Anyway take care dg

Being an old guy now, having not ridden like this in many years, I have to say, watching this has my arms and legs twitching, my head and body leaning with every switchback. I know I could never ride a course like this with such skill especially now but back in the day man I would have loved to give it a shot. Now I ride through the go-pros of far superior riders like Mr. Bron. Thanks for the ride-through.

[@Professor_sckinnctn]

Thanks! Always look forward to your videos! Genuinely inspirational!

GOOd JOb!! KIlian!! ^ ^ Thans for the sub on the screen!! It make me feel like riding the bike along with you on the spot !!! I can smell the tree, mud, grass and even fog~~ What a race!!

[@scottmccann4509]

Didn't realise someone could breathe so much going downhill. I was hoping you were going to pull the leaders back in, but those conditions looked awful for you. You gave it 100% though 💪💪

[@infinitydreamzz]

you are holding steady on the track a bike plus your own body that constantly want to get off that track. Providing that stability requires a lot of force

[@Billybobble1]

I feel I get a workout just watching these, my heart rate definitely goes up. Killian, you are a special human being, thank you SO much for these incredible videos and sharing your thoughts and insights.

[@janne5841]

Kilian You really are my hero. In every contest you post on youtube, I try to help you in every curve you take from my couch, it's almost like I'm sweating. I'm injured after a traffic accident so I can't cycle a meter but when you post a competition on youtube I enjoy it, it's so much fun to cycle! When i look at you, you have a special fluidity in your cycling, you can clearly see when you are in your bubble and when you are not. It's just such a shame that it's so far between the competition lines that you post on youtube, it would have been more often. Good luck!❤

[@-esox-3714]

Looking forward to this every year, great quality footage and video overall. One feels like one is "in the race" oneself, especially with the extensive commentary and even description about what he thinks and feels at a certain time. One of the following years you will win! Keep going!

[@cristianvaz]

That’s one of the amazing videos I watched. I bit all my nails. This is freaking awesome, you’re freaking awesome, dude! When I was young, I did trails with my friends, nothing like that, though, but still. Man, it’s a good time to be alive.

[@FinnishLapphund]

Yippee! I love the speed showing, live ranking, and will never get tired of seeing you do that amazing race. ETA: "The more I trained, the more luck I had", is something the Swedish Winter athlete Ingemar Stenmark have said.

[@S0ulinth3machin3]

Kilian, you have the best Megavalanche videos by far. Keep adding the extra information, it's very illuminating for those of us who haven't raced mass start enduro. Because your Megavalanche videos are so good, I've watched almost all them.

[@reeldealio]

Congrats and great finish! Love all the commentary and one of the few KZbinrs that I will watch 100% through to the end of the video. Awesome race dude!

[@jammin_5619]

I had fingers crossed 🤞 hoping for you to win 🏆 Bravo on your performance. Maybe next year for the win 😁 Love the video, commentary really helps, as does the position and speed on screen. Thank so much for all your hard work ❤

[@donbaker7282]

Way to go man! It was a blast taking the ride with you. Truly appreciate you filming this for us. That's one hell of a ride. I mountain bike in Northern California on similar terrain. It felt like home riding with you. I hope you have a great year and look forward to riding along with you next year when you take first! Best to you.

[@common08]

Great video dude. Never apologize for anything unrelated to your race, you are not a film maker and that's why we're here, hoping we can have a bit of the experience you had when going downhill and that means mud, breathing, your thoughts, surrounding sounds and etc. If one thing, I am grateful you have the thought and work of cleaning up the camera lenses, people might not realize but this simple action could cost you a first place someday, so thanks for bringing us with you.

[@jnaoe]

Congratulation on the 4th place ! I can't wait to see more immersives videos of the event but i hope you'll still do a commentary of your descents. You are a gem !

[@random-604]

Bravo Killian! I don't do mountain biking but I love watching these Megavalanche videos every year they pop up. Thanks again for all the effort and for cleaning the camera screen. It would be great to watch another video on everything leading up to the race.

[@ryans-7]

Great ride, great race, Killian. Thanks again for sharing your adventures with all of us.

[@ProgressiveEconomicsSupporter]

I'm so happy you allow us to ride along side with you. I guess noone here could ride this track as fast as you without dieing, at leas because of lacking air and running out of heart rate capacity 😂😎🙏🇩🇪

[@conchosewing]

the panting, gasping for air all the time, maintaining the focus on the race and inner dialogue with your written narration is awesome!

Much respect.Awesome video, insane speeds down treacherous terrain. 🚴‍♀💨💨💨💨💨💨

[@bcampbelnd]

Thank you for always cleaning the camera. I know it takes extra effort. Thank you for sharing all your commentary and strategies. And yes would love a video about all of the other things going on around race day / pre race day prep.

[@darkman1301]

Well done! I enjoy your videos of this race. All the best next year!

[@simonharling6234]

Another great Megavalanche video - it seems like an especially close race race this year in really difficult conditions. I'm appreciating more and more how a small deficit in the snow/rock/dirt road section will have extreme importance later on. I have the impression you can make up time on most riders during the technical terrain when the glacier start point is used, but it's more difficult on this course. Of course Hugo's explosion at the bottom of the big climb at 14.00 mins appeared to be unstoppable! Anyway, congratulations! Your riding, videos, commentary are all amazing. Winning is important for athlete but it's not everything - a friendly rivalry can bring out the best in us, and is something beautiful. Winning is fun, but we learn most from losing

[@FlyingMeta]

Snow is the uncertain factor as these guys know every rock from then till the climb. Everyone I heard said its the hardest conditions ever especially in the woods. You can check my run for Joey carnage after couple hundred riders already gone down!

[@macbitz]

Great stuff! Love your energy and your attitude 👍🏼

[@1pho3nixmatt]

Love these from you every year. Great effort, in wild conditions! My buddy Macky raced this year for the first time and ended up with 8th, not far behind you.

[@PaudyalArjun]

Was waiting for this video. Close, yet so far. I just hope that one year, one year, you will finally win this race. And what were the odds of you and Peter Stefan finishing in consecutive position once again. Also, great to see our very own Rajesh Magar in there.

I have been looking forward to your video all week. Thank you so much for sharing, and especially for sharing your thoughts about the ride itself. In the middle where all the mud was, I noticed that your front tired literally had no tread, it was just caked in with mud. How in the world you kept that bike upright is beyond me. Excellent job as always and I look forward to watching more of your races.
