I've been waiting impatiently for this video. Slowly the gaps in the story are being filled in. Everything is so tight now - 4 or 5 seconds lost before the dirt road at 3mins has a high cost to recover, but it's still the big climb at 14 mins which decides everything. Bravo! You're all winners
I watched both this video and Kilian'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!
It's a mystery. Googled but can't find any reference. He's missing from the quali results too. Can only speculate people are holding off any statements due to possible legal consequences.
@@simonharling6234 Same. No info to be found online anywhere. The organizers should at least have made a short statement and said they would be back with details later, or just have said he is removed for reasons not to be shared. This is very disrespectful to fans and other riders that competed.
@@-esox-3714I'm always impressed by how Kilian can do that, without slowing down nor crashing. Even though I wish others also did it, I try to think positively, a bit of dirt on the screen adds realism.
perhaps this weather is not for you and Kilian. you are heavier, the weight presses you deeper into the mud, and each advance requires more effort. it is interesting that in 2023 you went to the ledge struggling with the snow, and everyone repeated this path after you, which was most likely a mistake, and in 2024 at the beginning of the race on the rocks the guy in the white T-shirt immediately took a right turn, and won a lot from everyone before the big climb
Who knows at this point, since no one, not even the event organizers say anything about why Hugo, the guy who crossed the line first, has been completely removed from the event. Start list, quali and main race. If they want wild speculations, this is the way to do it I guess.... Ban the winner and stay silent on the reason why.
they had great weather for preliminary rounds and everything was supposed to take place as usual, without change. But apparently there was a big storm a day before competition, lots of rain, and going down the glacier was too risky. So decision was made to change a part of the track.
Just came from Kilian's video. Such difficult conditions this year. You guys are insane. Thank you for the video and amazing riding Stefan!
That piece of mud made me blink a million times.

true madness but love watching them/ kudo’s guys from NZ
Get a widescreen monitor and play Kilian's and Stefan's at the same time...its amazing. Add 36 seconds to Kilian's video
Damn u smart
Kilian race start 0:56 Stefan Race start 0:07 Amazing race and riders!
I did this with several of the top riders and its super fun to watch where they are. I still can't find hugo's video though if he posted it at all.
@@allenbythesea hugo no post I guess
21:20 I feel both ways about that. It sounded like the other guy was upset that Stefan passed so close.
Gratulation zum Podium, danke für‘s Mitschneiden und Posten! 👍👍👍 Krass wie schnell Oton und Pigeon nach dem Start am Horizont verschwunden sind. 😳
Great video that lump of mud is an international star now
Very nice race, Stefan!! Congratz
the epic battle continues
Yesterday I watched Kilian, today you, great rivalry, it's a shame you didn't take 1st and 2nd place
Awesome 🏁✨️
I love how you start in the barren tundra and end up in the lush valley.
Good job fam!
Good race Stefan!
Great video. I wonder how much of a difference in time it would be to run with the bike through the first part of the snow.
Great run again, always same fight with Kilian xd
Congratulations for 5th place. Stefen peter.
Wow, you were fast down the slippery forest compared to Kilian. Always fun to watch the "chase" cam.
Different tires.
@@TNW84 Ah, yes. I noticed Kilian saying in his video he traded some grip for speed.
Any news on why Hugo was removed from the results?
Indeed he's not the winner anymore. What happened?

@@Thomas.deNorth It's interesting to see Damien Oton has uploaded podium pics from his successful e-bike race, but nothing from the regular Mega race
@@Thomas.deNorth And now Hugo has been reinstated as winner in the official results
The guy who was in front, seemed to be holding you back for his mate, blackish shirt 21, something,, minuts, well done,.
🙌🤘🤘
foi uma boa corrida de bike um abraço do brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Biking down mt Everest when.
👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Did you like the course this year? It´s looks much less like a flow trail like the last years.
The course was shortened because of the weather .
Helicopter rescues would of been very problematic
Sehr gut
Great.
That mud pretty much ruined the video. It is too large. I can't even watch the whole thing. 😥
Nico Quéré a 15"00 ? 😁
Bravo Stefan 😉
Nice run! I'm not a fan of video stabilization... it felt more like a done video following the path. We should feel every bump through the lens!
Maybe wrong tire choice made you a bit slow ... anyway great race, keep it up
he got 5th out of 300 how is that slow lol
Too bad Stefan doesn't bother to clean his dammed camera, not even once.
i cleaned mine multiple times, so check out my run!
Some people are better than others, but in the midst of battle it's probably hard to remember
they cut down that magic tree whose branches are cleaning brushes
20:44
bueno pero sin posiciones es muy complejo verlo mejoren
Plz clean the camera during riding.
We are spoiled by Kilian, I guess not everybody can make it "muscle memory" without losing focus.

You can win it in record time with the best ride of your life but with mud of the lens no one is watching past the first five minuets
the prize for best skid mark ....killian. Not a day for white😂
perhaps this weather is not for you and Kilian.
you are heavier, the weight presses you deeper into the mud,
and each advance requires more effort.

Hai dä wiiss Vogel hesch eifach nid verwütscht!
Next time remember to wipe your camera.
Great! Now we can see your perspective also on Kilian Bron's race as he mentioned you a lot there:

I always look at your and the Killian's rides as a minimum. I don't understand why they changed the track - missing the old one.😉

@@bobibufi1389 Thanks🙂. Sad, I miss the starting at the top of the mountain - what a view.🙂
