- Watch Damien Desbrosses's GoPro view as he passes 118 riders during Mega Alpe d'Huez qualifier! A strong run from the last line to the 9th spot! This run gave him the right to race the Megavalanche Pro Finale! Good opportunity to learn some line for the 2019 edition ;)

I could actually _feel_ the ground get smoother as he went onto the paved road
lmao I thought the same exact thing, so bizarre how that is.
@@Granolie not bizarre at all its just how it is paved roads are smoother then dirt tracks and rocky tracks
@Conor Murphy Lmao
Nice buzz. You heard it like everyone else.
What a beast!!!!!!!
But pleeeeeease, next time, add a bit of extra space after the footage ends, and use that for the clickable links.
I was so invested in this guys journey, it was a shame I had to watch him cross the finish line obscured by the clickable links.
Or youtube could stop fucking about, how about that?
@Sean Smurfy I agree they should.. but that's like watching into a bear cage without protection because you think they oughta stop attacking humans. Refusing to get with the program because you think it should be different is rarely productive. In the case of the uploader he probably just didn't think of it becoming an issue.
That's a bad attitude, and it's probably exactly what the programming wants you to think, assume things their way. It's cheeky of them to do what they did, they knew that it would get in the way of the end of the video and ruin it, and yet, they still fucking did it. They might run the show around here but they are nothing without us, this is obvious. Without us there is no youtube, now that's the right attitude to be spreading.
Oh mate, yours is the bad attitude. TH-cam is a private company. Get over it.
This was an awesome video to watch. Ads are inevitable. It just would have been better IMHO if the clickable links didn't obscure the end of the video.
Constructive criticism for the uploader, not a TH-cam conspiracy...
Piss off you fucking loser. You narcissistic piece of shite.
Imagine a rear view camera on his helmet. We would love to see how far did you leave those you overtook or battle from the behind if there were any.
Beast mode; mad respect.
I don't even own a bicycle.
Probably see them all flipping him off..that or total discouragement maybe both😂
I was thinking the same thing yesterday after watching another run. Would be great to have rear-facing cameras also and show them as a Picture in Picture window so what's going on behind as well as in front of the rider. That and I've noticed some riders don't have their front-facing camera facing up enough so we can't see very far ahead of them.
That said, this was an absolutely amazing run! Damien has the endurance of a horse! I'm also surprised that parts of this run, especially the beginning with all the steep switch-backs were part of a qualifier track and not a main event. Crazy stuff!
Everyone else: Gotta stay on the path
Him: Why not just go over the boulders.
Chuck Norris rides his bike under them.
Dude I helped you as much as I could by leaning my phone in your direction of movement....
Gunnar Crasher hhhhh 😂
I put my head up straight and I still can't get myself comfortable.
It must be so frustrating being so fast and theres no room to go around other bikers
True, yet they all seem to be real gentlemen... In all that 'fighting' for a good place, you don't hear anyone swear or see people push... I know some sports (and people for that matter) that could learn a thing or two from this excellent sportsmanship. Hat off to you, sir.
Activate the non-collisions mode stupid
@@rossc9539 Even cavemen would think you were a disgusting savage...
completely stupid track design in that regard !
You can experience that when you ride on a bike park and there is a slower guy in front of you
I crashed 17 times, had 2 flats, and 1 broken chain just watching
Don't forget the derailleur breaking
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
I still feel all that dust on my face. Had to wear my goggles to watch this vid
*Plot twist:* He has no brakes
No brakes? Did you not see him peddling backwards?
Anybody else try to get a better view of what's up ahead by tilting your head back while watching?
The whole damn time
Nah, I have a better technique - I move my phone up.
... and tilting your screen left and right to help through the corners?
Hahahaha.
Yes.
I was worried all the time that we are gonna hit something or miss the turn because of limited vision ;-) I was so hard trying to look up that end up with headache.
So frustrating watching this BEAST get stuck behind slower, more timid riders. This MONSTER plays to win.
Don't get why 90% of riders were going so slow?
it looks slower on camera its actually pretty fast and he's just even faster and must have 8 lungs and legs like a horse
they don't go slow damien is just to fast , he's a pro rider
So, do you react like that to all people who were simply posting a comment? Damn dude, relax and learn to be human.
he should start at the front then lol
9th! goddam! I thought you was gonna win! That was sick AF! Well Done Man!
ADZ It's almost impossible to win if you're last line. The seeded riders are in the first line and they're almost certainly going to be fast already. If you're last line you have to make your way through all the slower riders and in the meantime the seeded 1st line riders are out of there.
Dunno if you noticed, but in the beginning when he was being slowed by others it was because there were so many he couldn't pass. In the end it was because they were almost the same speed and sometimes didn't let him pass.
This dude should never be seeded out of the top 5 ever again
well he got into the finale so :p
I'm one of the riders being overtaken!
Haha!! Sweet! When? Wich one are you?
owlaps unfortunately it's right at the beginning... About 1:50 I'm on the right hand side with the red shorts and green bike.
Dude you're sick.
Damm you’re wack then!
Pity he kept on cutting the video when he ran into people and either tehy fell (him bullying his way past) or they both fell (because he was incapable of keeping out of the way - control - and coming from behind too fast to slow down enough).
A bit of a bully this guy.
What a run.. Amazing control.. Those passes u made on tuff terrain, brilliant.
This reminds me of what I wish I told myself to do for the last fifteen years, and didn't because of some"thing" else... I am crying.. This was the best effort I've seen someone strive for ever. Thank you. :'(
You sir, are in incredible shape.
Amazing display of no fear riding! Your passing skills, ability to make your own line (when there isn't one)to pass when everyone is haulin' balls out rates 2 thumbs up and a subscribe from the ol' dog!
Thanks for taking us with you with your amazing MTB adventure!!! I’m looking forward to the next video!!
How does this guy put a jersey on, his heart is so big! Amazing to watch. I only wish there was a rear view camera so we could see how fast he drops these guys after passing them.
This is the expert mode of wii sport resort's cycling game.
😂😂
owlaps thanks for the heart, *its true though*
This is by far one of the best races I have ever watched... You were great!!
1:29 dudes missing a leg lmao
Good eye!
Srsly what a beast
Bro the comeback he made is incredible. To where he started and he finished is amazing
Absolute beast
I've watched dozens of Megavalanche videos and this is hands down the best riding. Top-notch skills and stamina.
As a road guy, I’m used to seeing the climb up to Huez, not the descent down to it. I guess there’s no way to ride into that town that doesn’t require you to be an absolute beast!
Not fair, he used politeness to overtake. Saying please and thank you.
Impressionnant ! Magnifique remontée ! Un grand Bravo !
20 mins of breathing and gravel noises xD
ya 😅 but worth it
...but enough about your sex life
@@ss_whole Came here looking for a sex joke. Not disappointed.
Sounds like my honeymoon!
way better then if someone added some terrible music to this as is usual.
this dude is racing xc or what just look how much force he has on the uphills
Un grand malade !
Genial! 🤙🏼
how often practice you this run? i cant imagine that you haven't seen the track before. really impressive (o;
"RIGHT!" *proceeds to go left*
"droite" in French
he tells the person to go on the right
Quand on annonce gauche/droite c'est pour dire qu'on va passer de ce coter et que le mec doit se mettre a l'oposer
Then is called a jag off
HellOfBane in the states we would say “on your left”
I said, "alright now hes gotta be in first place," like 18 times and then i just a new group and im like wtf it never ends
The skill level is pretty impressive.Exciting race, kept me riveted.
he has the perfect bike, but forgot to add a bicycle bell... :/
His voice does not add extra weight ;)
@@P1nkR but consumes extra breath ;D
exactly what I was thinking the whole time I was watching.
tassels would be nice, too.
That was intense and a really good video , even the dust was choking me watching it
Gracias. Me siento muy afortunado al poder disfutar de éste magnífico video, es casi como estar en el cerebro de tan exelente Rider. Felicitaciones CAMPEON.
Soy su grán admirador.
Such a powerful, fast, skilled, and polite rider. Great video.
Sick Run Damien!!
Bon combat et super course. Un bonne esprit de compétition ! Merci pour cette vidéo ;).
Ugggh, so painful to watch this beast get stuck behind so many people! Thankfully he made the qualifier for that amazing ride.
You are a freakin machine! Great vid thx.
In France we will say he'is a "mobylette"
Woaw sacré run ! Un cardio en béton un rythme soutenu et un roulé propre ! Chapeau tu ma maintenu en haleine tout le long !!!
That was amazing! Well deserved win!
I loved the bold riding style...using every option and going very fast.....great ride and video. :)
Jsui fatigue que en regardant. 😤 Belle course 👏
Love these videos, I always know either a rave is starting or a great bike race, either way it's happening.
Insane !
I'm tired just watching this, nice job! The pass 6:14 wow
What a hellacious, entertaining ride you gave us.
BRILLIANT VIDEO u earned a SUB
Incredible effort...Well done🚵♂️🚵♀️🚵♀️🚵♂️
That was awsome thanks for the bike ride journey. Wolf
Très stylé ! Bravo :D La prochaine une petite cam sous la selle qui film derrière en incrustation dans un coin ce serai top :-p
On 1:31 rider with only right leg. RESPECT, BRO!!!
holly crap ! that was awesome. 118 overtakes... i guess the 55 thumbs down are from those you passed :) 9th not bad.
The unlike are from the person who posted the video and ruined the very end by darking the scene.
lmao u have 55 likes
So is this what happens when you take the best guy and start him in last place?
Hallucinant mec !
+James McAdam 🤘🏼🤘🏼 ça roule pas mal :)
well done man! you are a machine!
Why is he so much faster than everyone else? Weight. Physics tells us weight gives the mass to add that velocity when pointed down a hill, and this dude's balls alone weigh seventy pounds apiece.
you obviously don't understand physics. weight is irrelevant.
adam smith actually wrong. It's only irrelevant when there is no friction. A heavier rider will go a little bit faster than a lighter one because the aerodynamic drag does not increase linear with weight. Maybe +30% weight means +30% gravitational force but only increases drag by 10% (frontal area will not increase by 30%).

What an effort
4:17 look at that! how sick was that! his opponent almost knocked him down the precipice accidentally when he overtook him
Riding down the mountain like: Not quite my tempo! :D
Nice run 👍👍
could not turn this off.....went down the rabbit hole
I'm knackered just watching this video !!!
Legs of steel!
I race mostly XC and a little enduro and this seems like an XC racer's downhill race. Definitely gonna have to try and make it to one
It's nice to see a rider passing everyone at a crazy speed. A crazy dude yeah.
Excellent to drive bro :)
🤘🤘
You are a crazy man going that fast down that mountain.
I here the song from the beginning in a lot of these down hill races lol
my eyes are messed up from all of the shaking but that was bad ass! lol
Absolutely Superb Run!
Damn, got sweaty hands just watching!!
A monster rider!!! :-)
I'm out of breath just watching him do that!
Cara!,tu aguenta 20 minutos em,quase 30 né,parabéns cara tu é brabo mesmo em,parabéns parabéns 🎊🎉👏👏👏👏
Amazing!
16:30 That guy on the racing bike giving the motivational support is hilarious.
hmartinspliff IKKKK
Great control & stamina... Well done.
Awesome ride!!
God bless the GoPro!!
I'm totally exhausted after watching the full 20+ mins of this video.
This dude's on a whole nother level!
massive kudos
J adore tu les a conté mais bonne vidéo en tous ca
This is like a video game, he just keeps passing people like he's not even human! So fast. And some parts of that stretch were down right scary with steep drops on the ridge.
NICE JOB MAN!!!!
I love these videos
Man your nuts. Love it
Congrads awesome riding
I was watching this and kept looking behind me to see if anyone was catching up with me.
This guys a machine.
Respect!
not bad mate, not bad ;-)))
All that dust! I have to sneeze just by looking at it.
la caméra dans le guidon :) tant pis pour le paysage magnifique. belle course!
Nice ride. Kept trying to turn my phone angle for the picture but still sweet
That guys just shredded this race, I found my self breathing hard when he was..... I need a beer now
Well done your a very fit person I enjoyed thank you
