Maximum respect 👏 You‘re the best rider of Megavalanche EVER - only damage can stop you 👋 Regards and best wishes for future projects 👋 Ralf from Germany
Quel talent vraiment! Le coup de guidon, le physique, la tactique pour la gestion de l'effort, bref...Il n'y avait pas photo! Bravo bravo bravo, et merci merci merci pour le voyage embarqué, et je me suis régalé pendant toute ta vidéo ou je n'osais pas cligner des yeux pour ne pas en manquer une miette 🤩🤩💪💪👊
Absolute respect, without a doubt, for the most commitment, most dedication, and great skill - not to mention a stunning display of fitness. Completely gutted for you though, regardless of the outcome, you were the winner, clearly. Great race!
@@UA-cam_Stole_My_Handle_Too Why don't you post your 40-minute cross-country downhill race and show us how it's done, tough-guy? [crickets] Thought so.
Une course magnifique que tu as réalisé. L'attaque sur le haut après le glacier pour revenir sur Hugo c'était totalement dingue comme tu as soudé. Toute la partie pédalage jusqu'à l'attaque de Hugo dans le coup de cul et tu le passes avant de basculer direction alemont de toute beauté. Tu mets tout dans la DH pour prendre l'avance et malheureusement tu crèves au pire moment... Une des toutes meilleures méga que j'ai pu voir en vidéo. Gros GG pour l'engagement.🤘👍
The way how smooth and fast Damien rides is just unmatched on this course. There are many great riders like Killian, Peter, Hugo but only mechanical issues are Damiens real enemies.
Congratulations on your outstanding performance in the Megavalanche competition!. Your second-place finish is a remarkable achievement, especially considering the unfortunate flat tire you encountered near the end. If I may ask, why you no longer use English text in your video?
I've seen this like five times and it never gets old. I used to ride at close to this level but didn't like to race. I just did it for the exercise and tried not to get hurt. It's a commitment to get to this level. You have to train six days a week and always eat well as well as cross train by running single tract trails to be at this level.
Man, would've won both the e-bike and standard Megavalanche if not for equipment failure! Amazing race, really enjoyed it. What could make it even better is a camera angle that captured the handlebars. 🤘
Quoi qu'il en soit, course très, très cool! Les pannes arrivent à tout le monde, et cela devrait vous préparer encore mieux pour la prochaine course. Et il y aura de gros gains ! N'retraite pas et n'abandonnez pas !!! Vous êtes un pilote très cool! Merci pour la vidéo! Bonne chance, plus!
Wow!! So fast in the rough section, before overtaking Olivier Bruwiere!! Unfortunately for you the following section were not so challenging. If the whole trail would be that challenging, you would win for sure. Monsterskills, you’re fantastic!! 💪💪💪 And please: next year with a GoPro. 😁
I'm surprised there are any axles, hubs or rims that could survive this rock, sand, mud and boulder fest. Some guys just have a lot more talent and stamina then the rest of us. Killer riding!
Awesome 🤩 you are a beast!! As an ex owner of the Rise I can’t believe how hard you abuse that bike with a so limited rear travel and a trail geometry!😅😂😂 PLEASE make a Bike check! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Bravo Damien ! Dommage pour la crevaison au pire moment, mais en attendant la remontée sur Hugo Pigeon elle est légendaire ! 😲🤯 Les sous-titres en commentaire sont top! PS: Merci de tes bons conseils, mon père est très content de son Wild ! 😉
2ieme à 20 secondes après une crevaison, chapeau bas. Quand on voit ton classement ces dernières années, ce ne sont que des premières ou deuxièmes places. C’est la folie la plus totale. Bravo et merci pour ces images grandioses : impossible de décoller les yeux de l’écran, fascinant.
09:49 je connais bien le sentier de la sentier de la cristallière c'est mon single préféré de tout temps, franchement incroyable cette action me rappelle mes meilleurs moments sur cette course, un peu plus à l'arrière, mais finalement on se sent moins con d'avoir tenter des trucs à la con pour une 50eme place quant devant ils sont encore plus fou 😂
Such an anti-climax to the trail. Just meandered into a small field in a back street. I thought it would shoot out full speed into a plaza. Insane skill and confidence. Still trying to figure out how you go so fast through the switchbacks.
Those mountains must be huge, you hurtled down that mountain for what seemed forever, and whenever we got a shot of the mountains in the distance for perspective, you still seemed to be at the top😆
Crap! absolutely gutted for you, same thing happened to Killian in almost the same spot last year :( That's the Mega lottery. But hell you were so fast!
@@peet4921 Last year For Kilian Bron i think it was a mechanical failure (rear deraileur failure or rear puncture) not sure because it happen fast and in footage he not say what it was but it was enough forcing him to get slower in the last section in the woods then he got overpassed by Stefan Peter, just like here in Damien case on the last section of woods something fail or broke or a rear flat tire he was forced to run slower and got overpassed as we see right on last section of the race.. what a bad luck but at least Damien Oton secured 2nd spot.. (Kilian was not this lucky he finished way latter behind).. this year Kilian got on 6th because he got blocked on top snow section and he struggle to fight back from 9 to reach and fight hard with Stefan Peter who finish on 5 as we know first rows at the start are all Elite PRO Riders.. is a rough & tough race Kamikaze Megavalanche even to watch..!!! 💢💯🚴♀🚴♂🚴🚵🚵♂🚵♀
@@poplaurentiu4148 Yeah, i saw Kilian's race, and later learned it was a flat. Damien actually responded personally to me, telling me it was the same thing for him. Thanks to both of you, keep sending iiiiiiiiiiiit.
Вы великолепный гонщик!!!! Как обидно пробить колесо прям на финише! 😢😢😢 А вот видео смотреть очень неприятно. Поменяйте линзу на камере, чтобы был лучший обзор. Посмотрите видео например Килиан Брон, у него великолепные съемки. Удачи вам в следующих гонках!!
Je connais rien au vélo mais c'est juste incroyable ! Quel engagement ! Pas de doute tu étais le plus rapide mec, vraiment pas de bol pour cette crevaison au mauvais moment (même si y'en a surement pas pas de bon à vrai dire 😁) et après tant d'efforts.
4:08. Curious as to why this is. Was he running lower tire pressure, a different tire, or...? That section seemed to be a big differentiator for the entire race. 7:50. Holy shit. I don't think I have ever seen anyone fly through this section that quick before.
La soudure dans la caillasse comme personne 😱 on voit bien le pyrénéen là 😅 c'est dingue ce tirage de bourre avec Hugo, bravo d'avoir pris le dessus avant le drame !!
La crevaison à part, qui dégoute bien et fait partie aussi de la course, c'est vraiment un magnifique run. Pas de regrets à avoir tu as vraiment tout donné, y'a rien a redire. Vainqueur moral pour moi ;)
Don't know how you got into my recommandations but insane biking skills, espacially on those rocky parts where you can barely see a path or what's around the next corner/bump👏
dégouté t'avais fait un run magnifique !! ça rappel Kilian l'année dernière et sa crevaison dans les 5 dernières minutes impitoyable cette courses bravo qd meme
@@HenriBourjade c'est la section du début parmi la rocaille et les pierre pointues après la neige ou ça crève le plus normalement il a pas eu de bol et un léger manque de lucidité aussi
Merci pour cest commentaire en français car certain commente en anglais alors qu'il sont français 🤷🤦 je ne dirais pas de nom 😅... Merci a toi sa fait plaisir de savoir ce que tu pense pendant ta course...
ptn vous êtes vraiment balèze c’est impressionnant j’ai l’impression que vous forcez sur les pédales toujours plus fort sans jamais s’arrêter c’est dingue
Maaaannnn............ :( You are clearly the strongest rider, yet the technical issues always get you!!! Bad luck, you would win all the time if your bike didn't fail you!
Having increased the speed of the video makes it dizzying, but it is nonsense that takes away realism, and makes the viewer dizzy. In real time, congratulations to the competitors. Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Very unlucky due to tire puncture . But don't worry domain you are champion . Congratulations for 2nd place . Tire puncture like kilian boron in megavalanche 2022 . He was also won the race like you . He were also got tire puncture on last moments like you. I can feel you pain like oh no oh no .

Dégoûté pour toi !!! C'est dur après une course pareille, si proche de l'arrivée, l'écart était fait ! Bravo 🔥
I live in Western Australia and our downhill runs are tiny in comparison! To see these guys hitting it hard as possible so far into a race is unreal!😮
Back in '70-'80 kamikaze mountain races were made with hardtail frames with narrow straight flat-bars only front shocks imagine that..
Man, would've won both the e-bike and standard Megavalanche if not for equipment failure! Amazing race, really enjoyed it. What could make it even better is a camera angle that captured the handlebars. 🤘

His biggest problem was a flat tire to my understanding. Before the swearing he was faster. But my french isn't really good enough to say for sure.
Mad respect for you Damien, absolutly amazing run! Bravo!
23:05 Damn, after overtaking Hugo, you were flooring it downhill like a madman!
Bravo Damien!
So unlucky but fantastic race 🎉
You are the absolute master of "mini shortcuts", as e.g. at 12:42. I am deeply impressed.
I'm surprised there are any axles, hubs or rims that could survive this rock, sand, mud and boulder fest. Some guys just have a lot more talent and stamina then the rest of us. Killer riding!
this mtb are so called Enduro bikes, so they are build for it, nothing surprising.

Génial à suivre, vraiment impressionnant; et le rythme qui baisse jamais, bravo !!
Fantastique course. Bravo, félicitation. Merci du partage.
From 7 minutes 30 seconds to 9 minutes, your performance is crazy😱 Thank you for uploading the video
Ouais passage de fou, il vole au dessus des cailloux.😂
What a howling, relentless chase! Both getting on Hugo's nerves -- and taking slipstream from him at the same time!
Unreal such a smooth ride with the cam mounted so high! Man you can ride!
