How did mounting saddle bag work on the seat post. Thats what im trying to figure out now 😅.

Talk about mental fortitude.

Des cornichons! Genius!

Sofiane ! I will be looking forward to see your name on the 2025 SRMR start list. Congrats for what you achieved so far!more to come

your awesome keep racing Dude- from D58 UCI GRAVEL racer

Sofiane, we’re happy just to ride along with you. Whatever you end up doing, keep sharing with the world. For me, I had to learn to live in the current moment and learn that things aren’t always good or bad, they just are. Dissatisfaction can be hard to sort out, especially when everything you are doing is going well.

I can’t wait to swallow pickles juice all the way from the jar, now. Followed by a sweet nap on those late night comfy mattresses mmmm! Sofiane at his racing best. Huge respect

Sofiane! Thank you for your efforts to win races and showing us how difficult is to win them especially from your perspective. No matter what always remember that you're real inspiration for a lot of people if you winning or not - it is not so important! You are legend! Wish you all the best! Regards ✌️

Absolutely no shame in changing your focus. Do what's best for you. Period.

You've nothing to prove. Done it all and inspired many. You can still race and be successful without winning. Perhaps helping others to have experiences that they wouldn't have had without your inspiration could provide some extra fire x

Love the content you make, you have very engaging & relaxed style. As with all athletes "you spend a long time retired" don't be to quick to call it a day maybe cut down the number of events, really narrow it down to the events you'd LIKE to participate in with plenty of down time between. Make content while you're out maintaining/training. But most of all take care of yourself & your wellbeing is most important. All the very best wishes.

Merci bien Sofiane, another great video and story. Take your time an answer will come to you and remember it will not be right or wrong, at the next intersection you can again choose, go left or right or simply wait there a little longer. Cheers and Best Wishes from down under.

Pickle juice??!! WTF man 😂

Hey Sofiane... Mark Beaumont's done his around the world record, now Lachlan Morton will try and attempt to do it, possibly next year - if you do your attempt after Lachlan Morton... MAN, I'll be so rooting for you and hope you pass through my town here in Australia AND BEAT Lachlan's time if he ever does do it. I hope your sponsorships will support this dream of mine, for you! :)

Sofiane, I'm so bummed. You have inspired me since the Divide. I'm the guy from Idaho with the brain issue, that chatted with you after your ride. Since then, I ride nearly every day (when possible) and you made a great impact on my life and from all of that my families as well. Just throwin it out there, but maybe enter a couple of events without trying to win. We all know your 'mental' when riding in these events, maybe a year of 'chill' riding, just to enjoy for awhile, and then pick your events that you will go mental on later on. That way you keep your sponsors, keep your physical prowess, and relish in your accomplishments for awhile. Your trophy case is nothing less than incredible, so don't be down - be proud! Life changes and sometimes we have to adjust. As always, thank you for your video and i do hope to meet you in person some day. james

Can you share a little about your ride? I am in market for a Ti gravel but looks like its a custom built bombtrack? If so which frame and forks ? Thanks in advance.

Et encore une belle victoire ! Bravo Sofiane ! Dans cette vidéo on ressent que tu es préoccupé : tu n'as pas chanté ... :)

Good looking glasses, what model is it?

As long as you sit on the bike with your heart and soul and the rides will put a smile on your face, don't give up! 🚲💪

Yes, maybe it‘s time to stop Racing for 1st places and instead riding just for the fun and maybe good Company . Crossing wide landscapes, stopping when you like to stop, still being able to create content on Social Media. Realize that going out riding is already winning ! We will keep loving your cycling-reports Sofiane…

Apple cider vinegar from a pickles jar do the job against the heat. 100% Sofiane Sehili.

Beautiful scenery with some insane climbs!! The part at 7:58 was terrifying to me, who's not ok with heights. Hope you find the answer you're looking for. Riding slower for fun has its upsides too. : )

In Japan many people carry their bikes on trains to get out to the countryside. Japanese use what is called a "Rinko" bag, which is designed to hold the wheels, frame, and such safety, yet the bag folds down the the size of a water bottle. Many Japanese touring bikes of the 70's and 80's had a quick-detachable drop bar, and a two-piece rear mudguard to make them fit more easily in a small bag.

It’s such a beautiful route, I just don’t understand why is the start in the evening!

When you know, “you know” perhaps if you’re still asking questions then not yet. I always love the content that you and @fannybens put out together.

I enjoy your videos and admire your honesty. Be happy and do what brings you joy. For me just riding makes me smile. I would love to race but that was never going to happen but my riding has evolved and l love it more than ever. Keep spinning and enjoy life 👍

Well Done Champ 💪 another great race and great little video

Couching and mentorship?

11:03 Same for us man, a full time job is just killing ours souls. One bite at a time, years after years. And we become a biorobots without feelings.

Te waipounamu new Zealand?

Much less climbing....i absolutely laughed the shit out of me😂😂😂

Inspiración!

Hope you find an answer that opens up perspectives you didn´t even know were there

hi Sofiane, the race started a few km from where I live, I would have liked to shake hands with you, maybe next time. perhaps your body is telling you to take it easier. just do what you think it's best for you. ciao.

Félicitations, Sofiane! You the man. Old matress and pickle juuuuuice 😂 abosolute legend. Enjoy the fall season on your velo!

4:47 Indiana Jones kinda path WTF

Salut Sofiane et bravo pour cette victoire. Petite question concernant ce type de vélos en carbone ultra léger, dans quel état est'il à la fin d'une course de ce type ? mort, il pourrait en faire une autre ou meme plusieurs ?

I am amazed by your physical and mental strength. I should send you an Insta360 camera, selfie stick, and handlebar attachment so you can ride with both hands on the bar. I'm just kidding. You are a very tough man.

Merci pour toutes ces superbes informations,tu n a pas parlé de l eau,filtrage, quantité,merci pour ta réponse Sophian.

Folks, going super light is super great until something goes wrong, mechanical/physical/meteorological /whatever. You should work your skill set and experience up a little at a time so you can truly accept the risk. Depending on someone else to save you with their gear is not accepting the risk. Light is right until it ain't. Don't ask me how I know.

When I was younger, I was a road racer, and competed in a number of stage races. Each day would vary from 100km to 300km, at as hard a pace as I could keep up. I would wake up each morning so sore that swinging my legs off the bed was painful, and I would have to hobble to my bike like an old man. Getting my leg over the bike was agony. But after half an hour in the saddle, the endorphins would kick in, my blood would rise, and I’d be having a blast. I loved riding, and no matter how miserable I might feel during a ride, I would go to sleep looking forward to the next day. My wife says I’m crazy.

Funny that in the original “Highlander” movie, a Frenchman played the Scottish main character, and the Scottish actor played a Spaniard. BTW, a good way to keep yourself awake on the smoother parts of the course is to eat something hard, like beef jerky, or, better yet, dog biscuits. Chewing and an occasional swallow increases the blood flow to your head, and keeps you more alert. This is an old trick soldiers on watch use to stay sharp.

Don't be a putz just drink the whiskey.

Bravo Sofiane! Pour ta performance bien sûr, quelle ténacité, quelle résilience! Le film est super, belles images, beau montage et le personnage principal est bien choisi:) Bel effort aussi d'avoir pu filmer pendant l'effort, ça prend du temps et de l'énergie..

Juste incroyable.. bravo! Et le clin d’œil au morceau des tindersticks, parfait 😊

Well done & bad luck with the mechanical issues that slowed you down. Could you not repair the tyre with Restraps tyre kit for sidewall repairs?

Show less your face please. We honestly dont watch this for you.

hahaah the feet up in the hand dryer is iconic

Where is the track at 12:03? Looks epic!

Amazing effort, well done Sofiane. Anyone else would have cracked after the freehub issues
