    Merci Sofiane pour le partage, c'est toujours génial de partager les moments de la tête du peloton, et tu sais très bien le faire. Merci Fanny pour le taf !

      Oui, Fanny a super bien bossé. Quand on voit le materiel de départ et le produit fini, c'est clairement du travail de pro.

    Congrats, Sofiane! You're a true inspiration to me - I'm training for my first bikepacking races in Poland and Europe this year and hopefully will be in decent enough shape to take on the SRMR in 2025!

    Extraordinary achievement. Congratulations! You wanted it, you got it. Even in the depths of uncertainty, your commentary expressed how much you enjoy the place, the race, the people: you win even if you don’t come in first. Alas, you won. Again, congratulations, champ!

Moi ça me fait rêver des exploits comme celui-là, non pas pour la place, le finir me conviendrai amplement , mais plutôt pour l’aventure intérieur et pour le spectacle extérieur. Je viens juste de découvrir cette course je ne savais même pas que ça existait très impressionnante. Encore bravo et bonne continuation.

    Is there another part coming, or is it an artistic choice to end it in your sleeping bag on a mountain looking at a distant light chasing you?

    • @fannybens
      @fannybens Рік тому +1

      Artistic choice. I had an idea to intercut the movie with footage Justinas recorded on his phone at some point, but I did not get his videos in time. So in the end I chose to go with what Sofiane recorded only. With Justinas's footage, I would have end up with a short clip from the organisation, showing Sofiane arriving. But it made more sense to end the movie where Sofiane stopped recording.

    Salut Petit Gars !
    I usually refrain from commenting in French ( common courtesy, if Sofiane makes the effort to share its thoughts in English, likewise, I use English, here) but exceptionally, excuse my French, “Ah, P*tain, tu t’es salement amoché !!”
    Must have been some serious crash, no wonder your phone didn’t survive it.
    Bruised, cut, shaken, sore, smashed phone, damaged bike fixed by the side of the road, yet, you kept going.
    Respect.

    I think that the accompanying car with cameramen should go with you so that we could see the full report with details. because it is difficult for you to do it alone. it is impossible for one person to conquer the silk road and make a full movie about it. i think there will be something to see))

    Bonjour Sofiane, est ce que tu penses qu'il est possible/intéressant de réaliser une épreuve de ce type avec un VTT tout suspendu ? Si non, pourquoi ? Je me pose cette question depuis longtemps donc je suis plus que preneur de ton avis. Merci par avance.

    • @sofianeshl
      @sofianeshl  Рік тому

      À mon avis il vaut mieux partir avec un semi-rigide. Ce n'est pas assez technique pour justifier l'utilisation d'un tout suspendu.

    • @adrienspiewek6827
      @adrienspiewek6827 Рік тому

      C’est malheureusement ce que je pense mais comme je suis en tout suspendu, il va falloir que je réfléchisse à changer.
