What an epic race! Amazing skills and stamina in difficult conditions. I've been waiting for this video. Even though I knew the result, I found myself getting tense watching it. Hugo seemed to have about 15 -20 seconds lead after the big climb, but you brought him back to about 5 seconds. I note you adopted a different strategy from last year before the big climb. I'll be very interested to see next year's Mega. Many thanks for the video. Stay well.
it is always amazing to see you racing Damien, everyyear you fight like the best, and can't thank you enough to upload this amazing videos, man when you down the hills sometimes it feels like you are a Dron fliying and not touching the ground with your Bike
looks like Hugo Pigeon did his homework. You are a little bit better on downhill, so his only chance was to prepare extra well for the climb - and it worked. Congrats Damien.
Beau rythme et winning spirit... deuxieme place meritee, a cause des deux minutes de montee roulante... un peu plus de prepa sur route et ca le fera.... Bravo, fier de toi !
What an exciting race in these wet and slippery conditions! Congratulations to Damien on 2nd place, seconds after Hugo! Nice revenge for your material misfortune last year.👍
the hardest race in the mud, probably more exhausting than the mountain of hell. who was in front of you at 07:00 without a number on his back? it is not clear, the guy in the red helmet 1203, how did he end up in front of you on the big climb. before the rocks he turned right, so the route is shorter? or was it a violation? in the protocol he has 296th place. it turns out that no one went after him, and he immediately won the first third of the race
So slippery and muddy, you were almost catching up with Hugo P but the semi-fall at 22:12 just lost the race for you I think. You were never able to recover the lost ground after that. Amazing race though, you are probably the best descender of them all
I agree with some others here. The mud was a crap shoot. Hugo beat you in the climb and held you off in the pedaling. That’s the entire summary of the race. Oh… that, and Bron decided to go all white and stumbled coming out of the gate. Poor Kilian.
Did #-1203 in pink find a shortcut when he turned off (ua-cam.com/video/7z_rN4p2Vm0/v-deo.html), only to be passed with ease (at ua-cam.com/video/7z_rN4p2Vm0/v-deo.html, ua-cam.com/video/GJMbAqRas4g/v-deo.html)? In ua-cam.com/video/KX3Vvx0gEMA/v-deo.html the three leaders pass him when they'd seemed ahead of everyone else from the start (ua-cam.com/video/KX3Vvx0gEMA/v-deo.html)
It's not clear what happened to him, he immediately turned sharply to the right before the stones. maybe it was a violation? he has a 296 result in the protocol

Huge was on fire on big climb 🔥.
16:29 Who is she, Damian? She know every top 10 riders who race in here on that day.
Verdade. Eu vi ela no vídeo do Stephan Peter tb...
@@Sardaukkar She is there almost every time and
also announces positions to the leading ~15 drivers.
Was waiting for this because despite Hugo having a camera, he's not posted his race and I wanted to see what happened!
Damien is great!🍾
Same top 5 as last year. Wow.
is this mean that you were 2nd on Orbea Rallon and 1st on Orbea Rise this year?

You were clearly superior in the windy parts of the trail. If it were not so muddy down in the lower parts, you may have reined him in and won.
❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
