- Megavalanche 2023 dream start off the glacier...
It was all lining up to be the perfect Megavalanche for me. Exiting the glacier in 3rd position behind Orbea team mate Damien Oton before disaster struck 😔 - Sport

That is so unfortunate, always one of my favorites to watch.
The snow looks absolutely brutal this year. That 2K run looked incredibly painful
Only a recent fan of mass start races. Liked your POV videos. They are the best. Saw the course preview and felt how enthusiastic you were about the race so was sad to see the actual race video being 13mins. I knew something must have gone bad. Sorry bro' but awesome of you to encourage the others along. Thats why I like your videos. Looking forward to seeing your video of Megavalance 2024. Good Luck!!
Thanks so much for the kind words mate. This is what gives me energy to continue and push harder on the next one 👍
No way man, so disheartening to see that after the amazing start. Watching Théo's race, his pace was blistering and he still couldn't catch up to Oton, then he got a flat himself on the standard bike race. Such an incredibly treacherous course.
You had a great start, and it is obvious you would've finished strong. Very bad luck to have a tyre blow. Guess you should start training for 2024. Thanks for posting the video
Great start you had there!
We had a puncture on the exact same spot during the race... I had seen one other Orbea Wild in Galactic rainbow during the mega, turns out it's yours! 😅
I want to see more of your races.
Sorry to see you had such bad luck this year. the snow looks so different to when we had firm snow and a lot more rock last year.
can understand now how Killian felt when he had last years won , 4 mins to go ... at least it happened early .. Good job on the start , oh and you were so happy saying bonjour to everyone ... what a bastard
Same this year when my team mate Damien Oton was winning and got a flat on the very last part. Racing sucks sometimes mate!
Gutted for you man, but love the enthusiasm and encouragement given to others passing you this is why MTB is a great sport. Looking forward to seeing more of your races and wins in the future as there will be many more wins, this was a pain in the ass blip.
Cheers Garry. Hopefully more people will do the same rather than fighting each other for a space! Onwards and upwards we roll 🙏🏼👍🏼
I'm so sorry for you man ! You deserved way better after that awesome start !😔😔😔
Cheers mate 🙏🏼
Gutted, bad luck. Nice work on the running 🏃♂️
Cheers mate! All that training you taught me 💪🏼
What a great start you had only to be sidelined by a flat. So sorry. Was looking forward to this race and your video. Glad you are okay though and looking forward to your next adventure.
🙏🏼👍🏻
That's a crazy sport
Sorry for you, Ben. Amazing start that you should take pride in! On to the next one.
Fingers crossed! Cheers mate
we used to do drills on fixing flats, i could have a new tube in and have the wheel back on the bike in about 90 seconds with c02 cartridges. On Downieville or other time trials i just tried fix-a-flat if it worked, it worked, if your minuteman catches you the race is over
Good idea and work mate. I would have tried to fix it but once the mech, chain and spokes went, it was game over on this occasion 😥
Question for anyone familiar with the rules... other than the pink flags, what requirements are there for sticking to "the road"? Could you, for instance, go further abroad to seek rocky ground in those extended soft snow sections?
You can go anywhere unless it's got tape cutting off an area or line mate
Sad about what happened, but you did a great job 👍
Thanks 👍
no luck, you can't win here. but you are the running champion on this tour
Running champ of Mega 2023! Love it mate!
So unlucky man. Damn, you were so strong running with that bike. Redemption next year?
Never ever doing it again… 🤪 I’ll be back mate!!
ohh man! I was literally thinking u took a chunky rock line, what a shame 😞
Good bit of cross country running there! Good effort despite long walk home
Thanks 👍
4:23 If I owned the land you guys ride on, I'd plow away the deep snow you must run your bike on.
Or is it meant for you guys to do that? It will take a lot of energy and it's still a long way to the finish line 😐
don't you race with a noodle insert , eg an Octa mousse ? now you cant catch an angry little man 😥
Man that sucks!
Love your attitude when your bike breaks and u get overtaken. Bonjour was funny too. Dont really like ebikes

Sorry man, I was really looking forward to this video post from you too. Great run up until that point though.
Sorry mate, better luck next time
Some guys don’t know when to quit
haha dont blame him , he took it well
NEVER GIVE UP. Until you have to 😉
E-bike? Title and description don´t say....
The motor didn't even have a chance to come on because we were above the 15mph limiter and running!
bruh are they using E-Bikes????? wtf??
I guess 90% of the viewers leave when they realize it's the e-bike race. I only noticed it after 40 seconds of wasted life time.
Clickbait ...
Sorry to hear this mate. There is no electric assistance above 15mph AND when running! I'd say this is more hardcore 😉
@@benmooreracing I'm not denying that, but that's not my point. Just add "e-bike" to the title and everyone can decide for themselves. No offense, just wanted to provide some feedback that the naming may cause annoyance. Apart from this: Keep it up!
