The Megavalanche is a downhill massstart race. Approximately 1500 riders are expected every year to compete from the top of « Le Pic Blanc - France » at 3300 meters of altitude.
Since years, winning this race is one of my deepest dream ! This 2024 edition was mental and intense, as always… Even if we didn’t start from the top.
Here is my full race run COMMENTED (+ ENGLISH Voice Over ► bit.ly/MEGAVoiceOver) I hope you will like it 👊

thanks a lot❤
Can't believe I saw this comment AFTER I watched and read it all 😭😂
Great!!
The text was unnecessary and distracting. Less is more.
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 !
My yearly return to listen to Kilian breath into my ears for 40 minutes.
Perfection.
Breath in French. read in English. Good stuff.

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.
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.
Same here. Its like I eagerly wait for megavalanche so I can see Killian race again!!
Same
🙋
Anch'io, stessa cosa, mi piacciono queste gare estreme, Killian è fra i più forti 👍
Kilian apologizing for the mud on the lens while going 50 km/h in the most challenging race in the world. What a true Chad :D
Greetings from Ukraine!
Heroiam Slava!
Да, его извинения это нечто,там бы выжить судя по видосам других пацанов попроще). Два раза участвовал в Лавине, имел честь пообщаться лично с ним. Космонавты топы просто пацаны конечно. …. А, забыл, смерть ебаным оркам🎉😅
Slava Ukraini!
@@justinmckelvie Героям Слава! Greatings from Kiev! We will WIN!
@@justinmckelvie Героям Слава!
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
yeah, I watched a few so far but have been waiting for Killian's as well.
Macky Franklin (from New Mexico) finished 8th this year
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).
@@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
У нас ест человек, который комментирует его гонки и выкладывает на ютуб, тоже интересно 👍
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.
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
Was waiting for this video ❤❤
same here, I've had notifications on specifically for this video! Kilian's stroytelling and video skills are pretty amazing.
🙋
yeah, this is how I know nowadays that one year have past!
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!
Always love watching these, 3rd year I've watched.
me too
me too
🙋
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 💪💪
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
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.
YES!!! Finally!! 2024!!
I have no idea who you are but this video came up in my feed and auto played....and I could not stop watching. I swear my heart was pounding just watching. You have amazing bike control and physical stamina. Great video and congrats on that 4th place finish!
Go back and watch some of the snow starts from previous years. The downhill glacier parts on the ski runs at the top of the hill are crazy.
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!!
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!
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.
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.
11:48 - HulToNeboUhni
Yeeeeees! 😀
Such a clever racer also. Shame he had flat tire before bottom part.
Kilian - awesome ridin as always!
Kilian N.O.1 ! Sneh, zima, dážď, vietor ako má byť😀 pozdravujeme zo slovenska🇸🇰
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 ❤
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 !
Congrats and great finish! Love all the commentary and one of the few CZcamsrs that I will watch 100% through to the end of the video. Awesome race dude!
Favorite video of the year per usual, this blows my mind every time.
Great ride, great race, Killian. Thanks again for sharing your adventures with all of us.
Much respect.Awesome video, insane speeds down treacherous terrain. 🚴♀💨💨💨💨💨💨
Another Epic Race and great video - how you manage to keep those speeds up on that terrain always amazes me - thanks for the video and I do love the graphics showing the speeds etc.
Keep up the great work!
I love watching your videos and especially Megavalanche! I appreciate the work you put in adding captions for context. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the commentary, it helps and is very enjoyable to follow.
Well done! I enjoy your videos of this race. All the best next year!
This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing everything, including your thoughts and strategies! I look forward to next year!
SO impressive! We cheer for you the whole way! Well done sir! Thanks from BC Canada!
Dude I'm so glad you take the time to do this it is always so awesome watching your race video and hearing what's going on in your head during the race. You killed it good effort. 👍
I look forward to seeing your video of the megavalanche each year and willing you on to win it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts through the race, such a great insight on how you strategise the race
I really love these, with the explanation and everything around it. I don' t cycle but when watching tensing up and focusing having to go watch it again to get all the captions!
Looking forward to watch this and all past and future videos!!
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.
Insane! The captions are so helpful to understand whats going on and what the difficulties are!
And one day Kilian, you will make it! 💪
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.
The woods was proper nuts - the worst ever been, but it separated true riders from Joeys where I caught loads of people up 😉
Yours is the only video I watch for Megavalanche. You're an incredile rider and I love reading your thoughts for each section of the course. It wuld be amazing to add your vitals like o2 and heart rate to go with your compass and speed. Keep up the amazing work
I love watching these videos, I like your insight and humor. I'll never be able to do something like this, but at least I can have a front row seat to the replay.
Thank you fo bringing this race to us, what an amazing accomplishment . I have watched many other CZcams videos of yours and you got me back into MTB, all though only for pleasure at my age. I recently purchased a META Race HT, which I thoroughly enjoy riding here in Zambia. Thank you.
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.
THAT was exhilarating. I was trying to think of ANY point in my life when I wouldn't have needed an oxygen tank halfway round - can't think of one. First class. Much admiration.
Great film, great commentary! You will always will be my favorite Kilian! Congrats on a great run!!
Thanks! Always look forward to your videos! Genuinely inspirational!
excellent ride kilian. thanks for taking time to put subtitles of your thoghts along de ride. congrats !!!
Most videos cannot hold my attention for more than 10 minutes, but I am glued to the screen for the entirety of these runs! Thank you!
17:35 Killian is a cyclist at heart, his heart rate is at 190RPM I couldn't imagine my heart rotating that fast!
Thank you for your marvelous race Kilian, thank you very much for wonderful and detailed commentary. I watch your efforts every year and I am always with you enjoing everytthing what you do. You are the best rider I have ever seen. I wish you all the best in your passion in the years to come. May the good Lord support and guide you. Best regards, Tadeusz from Poland
That was friggin intense. I used to race XC and I always feel that I'm much better in a bit muddy terrain. I don't do well when it's hot. Brings back the memories of constantly trying to catch my breath and recover at every opportunity. Congrats! 👍
Watch this every year! Your commentary is very revealing and adds immensely to the appreciation. Thanks!
Chapeau! I always look forward to these. I spend half the time getting control of my breathing as it starts to sync with yours and I'm sitting in a chair!! :)
Great video, great location and awesome to see u doing what u love.. congrats on all your success, u will win it . God bless u and your friends and family 🙏🏆💪👍
It was a pleasure watching and seeing your detailed commentary, I'll be sure to check out your other videos!
Thank you so much for these videos, made with good care and love!!
What a great race... Kilian Bron's commentary puts you right on the rider's seat ... very engaging.... thank you for making the effort and sharing!
New vid!! I live for Kilian's runs haha.
I have been looking forward to this upload!!!! Well done!!! Chama!!!
Great stuff! Love your energy and your attitude 👍🏼
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.
That was awesome! I'm surprised that it's been years since you started these vids and I look forward to them. Really appreciate you take the time to add the comments. I'm more coach than competitor and I love to hear the passion, struggle and sheer effort that goes into a competition. Congrats on finishing 4th!.. still a huge accomplishment... but for the start, right?!
I'm not a downhill fan (I mean I don't watch any events or follow a riders) but I watch your video from Megavalanche every year.
Sounds like you are a bit of a fan still haha
@@FlyingMeta well.. yeah.. :)
Mec t'es très fort. Pour tout ceux qui font du vtt pour le fun, c'est toujours un plaisir de matter ces 40mn de folies. Bravo pour ton résultat et merci de prendre le temps de nous partager tout ça.
Love watching the glacier starts but the start here was just awesome. The skill to navigate those rocks at the beginning is just amazing. Great run!
Loved it. Great video and commentary. Thanks for sharing this every year.
Love to see it killi!
I love your race videos, and the bonus added with information and comments seem to get even better for every year. Such a treat to watch
Good to see you blasting this track Kilian! Well done and I had been waiting like a lot of other folks for your pov :D
Go Kilian Go ! Thanks for this great moment !
What a trick from 5th to 4th perfect timing !
I appreciate your comments tips and everything on this video, thanks to give to us what makes you good.
Fantastic, as always, Killan.
Unbelievable power...thanks for your sharing...I was absolutely thrilled while I watched your action.
I really appreciate the subtitled commentary, good race thanks for posting this!
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!❤
Since the end of the race, I have been checking CZcams for this video. Chapeau, will have fingers crossed again for next year for your success.
Always love the all out effort that you give to the races you post!
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.
That was brilliant. Unbelievable speed and control. Especially the subtle commentary. 👍
Thank you for another great video, I love seeing your competitions and how you plan your race.
Muddiest Mega!! Whatever the outcome your megavalanche videos are one of the highlights of my summer, thanks so much for posting them :D ALLEZ KILI!
Very good Kilian! Good luck in the next race! Awesome video!
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
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!
GG for the 4th place, and thanks for the comments, it was really nice to follow all the though and other things. Nice spirit bro :)
Great effort Kilian! You never gave up even in the face of adversity and challenging conditions. Looking forward to next year!
Absolutely unbelievable!!!! Thank you for this impressive footage!!! The speed in the muddy section is outstanding!!!
Thanks for sharing your race video again and adding the notes 👍🏻
You did amazing to recover those few positions - great riding 🙏🏻
Thank you Kilian! I was really enjoying the race and your comments. Wish you luck all your next races.
These videos are always an absolute highlight when they're up, thanks so much for the great content
Thanks again for another great video I love watching your insane rides down the mountain. Glad you did not fall and that you got down safe and its good to see your are such a great sportsman with your fellow competitors.
Dude these riders all gotta have insane VO2MAXs with all this high altitude hard exercise
yep its mental 👽 im reasonably fit and right at the top pushing the bike a little bit was hard
Always great Kilian !! thanks for sharing your experience 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
those videos are so relaxing, love them! thanks for the additional informations.
You are an incredibly hard working person..i'm honestly so proud of you my man...my hopes are with you
Thanks again for the great video! I watch it every year :) Greetings from Sydney Australia!
Ahhhh enfin j’attends cette vidéo avec impatience merci Kilian
I've been waiting for this.
The first video of yours that I watched was one of these and I really enjoy them! You're so fast.
Your Megavalanche videos are what got me interested in MTB, back in like 2019. I finally bought a bike and started going this year!
Wait for this video each year :D Super run Kilian!
I watched both this video and Stefan's at the same time, on two 4k monitors side by side... That was one hell of a ride!
Congrats to both, what an amazing race it was despite the weather!
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.
🇳🇵 🇳🇵
Absolutely epic ride, dude! Every year your videos show the sheer skill, passion and determination you bring to this event. You're already a winner but 1st place will come soon, I'm sure of it! Well done. 😎👍
