Hy Kilian, thanks for your video. On 24:45 unfortunately you didn’t get nervous and too good that day. 😉 i was hoping to catch up to the 3rd position, i think if 2 riders ride together they are stronger than the man in front alone.
It was a dream to see u "battle" each other and what kilan was thinking and making strategies.... never thought that there is enough breath an blood to make such tactical moves.... and love the comments show us whats going on in race... its many work at making video but worth it.... i realy interrested in the fact... could u both comming closer to the 3rd place during the push-each other? Congrats.... and i enjoy to follow next races... 🤙
You guys fought like lions! Absolutely impressive!
You rock Stefan. Keep it up!
you'r so strong !
GG dude, what a fight !
It was beautiful to see you work
I would guess Stefan yelled "push" because he knew you guys were similar abilities and wanted to encourage you to go fast so you can both catch up to the leaders.
can you give the timestamp

That's my feeling also!
it's just a very positive race mantra: encouraging to hear by fellow racers (better than 'left' or 'up' or 'passing'), and simultaneously encouraging of himself to keep effort levels high.
The live chat is incredible - I really don't know how Killian has time to text on his phone while racing down a mountain at 40kph....absolutely incredible 😮
He's not doing that
@@smirndogg hahaha
LOL
It's incredible! And holding the camera with his other hand! I don't want to guess what hes wiping the screen with.
@@trickyricky2903 😆
I clicked on this cause it looked cool and I thought it was only few minutes, but then I stayed for whole video. great example of your strength and expertise. Congratulations sir
last year i did the same :)
Did the same. Intense race!
The production value is 5/5. Love the comments and live ranking. Great run Kilian!
I would give it a 7/7.
I would give it Kilian/Kilian
One of his absolute best.
Loved t “thought” bubbles on-screen, really added to it sitting on my bum at home viewer experience! thanks for another brilliant race
and speed!
Nice run! From a viewer's perspective, seeing you battling is more fun than when you're riding out front all the time :D
He's too good. They should have an elite race. or he should start last!.
@@RMJ1984 there's already a video on his channel where he starts last, behind 200 people in Peru. A must watch
My God what did I just witness?!....That is an incredible amount of skill and endurance!! Extremely inspirational, but I wouldn't dare....I was transfixed through the entire thing. Also loved the little duel with Stephan..👍
This is the fourth time I have watched this. I love the sportsmanship you all display. You are inspirational.
I have been riding for about 77 years. I ride an adult trike around my little 6 mile course now while I recover from some recent physical challenges. But you inspire me to dust off my 30 year old cross bike and head for the Appalachian Trail.
It's unbelievable that you risked revealing your strategies to give us a detailed video. Thank you Killian.
Also, I noticed you were breathing in this video more than I've seen in any other videos of yours, which proves how challenging this track and your battle with Stefan was for you, Hopefully, next year you will get that win. Keep going Killian.
You've made me follow Megavalanche and Mountain of Hell every year even though I know nothing about mountain biking.
Maalesef killian bu yarışta iyi değildi 👎
Kilian, you are destined for a 1st place with this event! The battles between you and Stefan are becoming legendary for this race. The commentary was very insightful. Congrats on your amazing skills and effort!
Ob jemals einer die Strecke hoch gefahren ist ? wohl nicht zu schaffen.
@winheiMR Doch, ist zu schaffen. Halt nicht in dieser kurzen Zeit.
And please speak english.
@@winheiMR I dont have time to go copy this into a translator. Looks like German though
@@SecretSpots He asked if anyone ever went up this track and then said it is probably impossible.
@@seawolf9616 ahhhh thank you! You mean he was asking if anyone ever pedaled UP this course? That would be madness! LoL
Wow ! Wow wow! This is something i have never seen or honestly not known has existed! Watching from India. I was glued to the screen. Couldn't stop watching and admire the danger and adrenaline, can't fathom! Huge respect! This video has inspired me in ways i have not been inspired before! Amazing.Bravo! And congratulations!
This is worth the wait!👍 The cheers of the spectators who trust you brought me tears of joy ~ It's okay Kilian there is still next year. You did everything you could and this is superb nicely done quality video! 😊 Congratulations for Megavalanche 2023 4th place, @Kilian! 👏 God Bless you 🌸
Well said
Awesome race and post-production. Please keep the commentary in written form. I will never be able to experience such a race myself, so it's great to hear the brakes screaching as your tires plow through the snow, the wind rushing, every rock being kicked by the tires and every breath/cough of the rider.
Agreed, keep the commentaries written.
X3
why wont you be able to experience such a race yourself?
Super fit
@@kickblue22 I suppose because 'normal' cyclists like we are don't race a mountainbike downhill race that is Champions league level?
I came to search for Megavalanche after seeing it referenced elsewhere. I watched the whole thing, swaying from side to side as *we* twisted and turned through trees, over rocks, round all sorts of obstacles. An absolutely superb video, I was so engrossed in watching your view that I didn't even notice the comments on the screen until a few minutes in. Fantastic effort, well done. And thank you for posting this whole race.
Thank you so much for letting us in on the thought process that goes on during a terrifying race like this. This is a true Master Class!
Love this! Only one question. When a new comment pops up in the right corner, could u make it change color to catch our attention while focusing on the race. I'm glued to the race, but dont want to miss your commentry. It would help a lot if the color would change from blue to yellow and back every time there is a new entry. Just an idea maybe for next time :)
Or maybe a little sound. But not one which might get annoying after a while. Maybe some "click". A "ping" might be too much.
This is the best mountain bike race video I've ever seen. The live comments really help me feel the moment. Great effort Killian! Next year we'll see the win!
Totally agree. Reading the comments and info is perfect.
This is incredible! Love the post production additions (Speed, comments, etc) really help us to understand what's going on during your race. Would love to see a live HR tracker as well so we can be even more impressed with your physical abilities!!!
Your footage of this race is one of my favourite POVs on youtube, love the addition of the commentary! I hope you get it next year!
Great run, Killian! A shame about the beginning, but you never gave up and nearly caught the leaders. You're a real inspiration. I look forward to seeing you win next year!!!!
I thought for sure he was going to be top three, but then that other rider fell in front of him. The fact that he made it to 4th, despite that setback, is amazing.
He was 1:30 minutes away from the first three racers, it was impossible to catch them. Unfortunately killian was not good in this race.
It never ceases to amaze me how this race can be won or lost in the first 100 meters. 😮😮😮
I agree with your point of view😲
Love the speedometer, love the commentary and of course the live ranking. Really elevates the video.
Great video! I've been watching you for years. This had drama and conflict and lots of great comradery and the visuals of the race are unmatched.!! Thank you Kilian! From an American who is too old and could not do or experience something like this anymore, thanks for sharing your experience!
I frikkin LOVED every moment of this! Thank you for the highlights, Kilian and for putting your race up for us to watch! I will watch your video next year as well. :)
This was way more fun, watching your thoughts at certain times of the race and seeing the tactical battle for 4th place. We all know the race was lost at the start when that rider fell in front of you and stopped you dead in your tracks....You did amazing to get back into the race for a podium spot...
Yep. Not only do you lose all your speed. You have to work [again] just to get back to that speed.
Thanks for the extra info and commentary on this race, really appreciate the effort you always put into your videos!
Many many thanks for the written commentary. I have watched a few of these races but this was by far the best. I am not a racer, I never have been and I never will be. Your commentary made the whole race come to life. Thank you
J'adore ta vidéo, laisser les bruits, la respiration et mettre les commentaires, c'est parfait !
Quelle intensité, quel effort, c'est tout simplement impressionant !
Bravo à toi et aux compétiteurs !
Килиан , ты реально супер гонщик , поздравляю с победой ! Мощнейшая гонка !
Every summer I wait for your Megavalanche and Mountain of hell videos and I enjoy them as part of my summer holidays. It has become a ritual at this point. The live ranking and comments are greatly apreciated. Keep pushing, I want to see you win the Megavalanche, you deserved it last year.
As other people have commented, worth the wait for the video and now know why it took longer to go out, the insight into your race is priceless and really elevates your videos from others. Anyway, well done on 4th place, it's probably the best you could have done under the circumstances and a mention about Damian leading the race but getting a puncture about 5 minutes from the end and managing to finish 2nd!
Congratulations on 4th place - absolutely stunning what you've done here. You could see how much you fought. More than deserved! The speed, current position and live comments were super informative and exciting. Thanks for the great insight!
Thanks for the spoiler mate, nice one for anyone reading the comments while watching the race 👍
@@cillianmurphy9856oh no, the comments are about the video!!
For the first time I watch such a race, occasionally I turned it on and could not stop watching.
Cool! When I hear your breathing, I begin to empathize. And it's very interesting to read your highlights. Thank you!
It is so enlighting to read the mind of a cyclist as well as one of the top in the field. Both MOH and Mega are so extraordinary and your added commentaries here just draw us closer to the fun and inner workings of the game; which are way too challenging and dream-like for the ordinary people. Nevertheless, I think Kilian will also appreciate his added commentaries years from now when he looks back on the substantial information he has inserted to the video and the tonnes of precious memories it will return to him.
Merci tellement pour l’ajout des commentaires ! J’essaye toujours d’imaginer l’état mental dans lequel de si grands athlètes se trouvent, comment on gère un effort si long. Je ne peux pas m’empêcher de « air pédaler » avec toi dans les relances et de me sentir essoufflé. Bravo et surtout merci de partager tout ça !
Je ne suis pas vraiment le genre à être « fan » de quelqu’un mais tu es clairement un sportif et une personne que j’aimerais rencontrer !
Bon repos et préparation pour la 2024 !
Amazing to see these rides.
Stefan's cornering is on the spot.
You are incredible riders!
I never thought how mentally challenging this race is. Thanks for sharing the notes as well! I will re-watch it soon.
Its amazing to see you ride. Its very exciting, especally the epic battles with stefan, but also, how you belive in your self and your stratigies for the race - thanks for letting us know them trough the comments. Its really perfect, i love your videos and for me its also better without music or talking, its cool to hear the noices it makes it feel almost like sitting on the bike. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
One of my childhood game (and until now) is Downhill Domination from PS2. Imagine if they remake Downhill and have Kilian as one of the pro riders
Bro its memories
Once every year youtube algorithm brings me back to your channel and i binge watch all of your big races!
Love it, keep going!
So good to see that POV!
Thanks.
I watched it all in real time and was rivetted.
Good luck for your next race.
Man, you are a hell of a rider. Congrats on this physical and mental battle you deserve.
Невероятные спортсмены. Спасибо за видео, Киллиан. Очень впечатляет даже человека далекого от велоспорта.
очень впечатляет, я даж смотреть запыхался
Excellent, j'ai beaucoup aimé les commentaires au long de la course, ça donne vraiment un aperçu assez approfondi de ce que tu penses et comment tu gères la course à chaque moments, de ton mindset etc. Si tu souhaites les faire en vocal, je préfèrerais qu'on ait deux versions de la vidéo disponibles, une avec les sons d'origine et une autre avec les commentaires, comme c'est maintenant c'est beaucoup plus immersif pour le spectateur, au naturel.
Merciiii et gg pour la 4ème place, il semblerait qu'avoir un bon départ est crucial pour le reste de la course et les placements finaux des top riders!
So cool, reading your strategizing as it happens! You guys are courageous athletes, I'm really impressed!!
Your riding skills are insane, great content and form of sharing your comments, love it. Keep up the good work and I am waiting for your win!
Thanks for this video!
Поздравляю Килиана с заслуженным четвертым местом!!!💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍 Это очень не лёгкая и тяжёлая гонка!!!
ты тоже с канала Профессионала?
@@reanir9621 Да на него тоже подписан
What a great video with the commentary. This gives me a whole new perspective on how you strategize your race. congrats on 4th place
The commentary is top level as always. You are crazy talented Killian! Your videos are the reason why I love bike riding over long distances, to push myself to the limit as well!! 🎉🎉
In the same day I watched both your 2022 and 2023 videos of this race and I'm a fan of yours!! Keep fighting!! I'm looking forward to the the next year video
Killian I love the highlights on this video. It really opens up how challenging this sport is. You are contributing a lot towards this community. And inspire the new generations to compete.
I absolutely love reading the highlights, it makes the video 10 times more interesting to watch, no matter which position you are in!
As always the shots are real! I'm thankful everytime Killian finds some time to clean up the camera. The views from mountain are amazing! It's a little bit hard to read comments in the right bottom corner so I had to pause a video a couple of times, but saving sound of ride and heavy breathe on heavy pedal sections are so alive I've almost believe that it's me on the way. Thank you, Killian! I wish you get 1st place in 2024!
Wow. A year since the last race and the nail biting end as you passed everyone and then had the mechanical problem. I feel like I remember parts of the course from then with the short sections of road and then dropping off the side onto single-track. Looks like fun. It feels very immersive the way you have the sounds and the action and the comments. Love the changes from the snow-covered mountain to the town. Thank you.
So cool that many of the spectators recognize you and encourage you by name. Good luck with next time.
Bravo Lilian! pour avoir fait les Mega il y a bien des années, je suis épaté par ta vitesse : impressionnant. Bel esprit, bon pilotage et de l'énergie, bref encore bravo à toi
Wow, I'm rather amazed by how many places you still managed to gain! I thought you were done for after that unfortunate holdup at the first right corner. Didn't expect you to still come so close to the podium! And what an amazing duel with Stefan Peter, it was exiting to watch!
All the best for next year, I really hope you get to score 1st place one time!
podium is for number 1 to number 5, so Kilian and Stefan aslo in.
@@zhangkl1544 Oh I assumed it was 1-3 :) Glad they still made it!
Are you amazed by how many places he managed to gain after the fall - do you mean going from 13th to 4th, improving by 9 places after 40min of riding? Very few people find that amazing.
@@bobibufi1389 apparently more ppl think that than the contrary (he has 12 likes, you..not even an auto like ^^ you probably don't believe in what you say neither ^^)
Otherwise, I can't wait to see your vid next year :)
What a great rivalry, man. Finding somebody who's right at your level is a brilliant experience, because both of you can push each other to reach a whole new level. All the while enjoying every second of it ✨
Agreed. That was when I started really leaning forward watching some great racing.
I've seen this race before but yours was by far the most entertaining. Thank you for posting this up and good luck next year.
I look forward to these. Great race!
Some videos are worth a very, very long wait and this is a perfect example, you had such a good race with 4th place 🍀 and it was sooo close, good luck next year. One year, (Hopefully next) I assure you that you will win🥇❤
Хороший заезд, Килиан!
Жду озвучку от Professional 😊
нас таких много
You're an amazing rider and I get stoked as hell watching you ride Megavalanche. The friendly feud between you and Stefan is so great. I first found out about this race two years ago from your video and I love watching your footage. I don't know if it would give away too much, but I would love to see your heart rate if you can put that in next year!
My first time watching this type of video, it was a blast,you have my respect and I will look for your videos now!!! Congrats on fourth,you rode ur butt off!!!!
Your content just keeps getting better! Production quality with the text commentary, position indicator and speed really made this a fun ride to watch. Great race and battle with Peter. I think Peter's 'push' comment was that he knew if you two pushed together that you might be able to catch them. I was very much looking forward to this video, thanks for posting it and taking your time to do it right.
Amazing run, admire your technical skill and the live race strategy was an extra bonus. Congratulations on a fantastic race.
Amazing effort Killian epic video best one I have seen on TH-cam. Good to watch with the live feed back .
Keep on chasing the dream 🚵♂️🏆
I liked your editing choices a lot: Current speed, live ranking, written commentary, and no extraneous details. Excellent video!
Better luck next year!
Hey Kilian, brand new to the channel and the mountain biking side of youtube!
I wanted to say that I agree with your message on 30:35.
The feeling is much more intense hearing your effort and the environmental sounds of the race.
Keep it up!
That much skill and effort for that long at that altitude is beyond the comprehension of most people. You are among the top athletes in the entire world.
Your video production was too good. I enjoyed your commentary and riding skills so much that the 43 minutes just flew by. Killian, your Mega win is coming. I truly believe it.
Thank you so much for the adventure. 🤘
True true!
Once I started watching, I could not stop. Very impressive courage and endurance. I enjoyed how when you were riding west, we could watch your shadow.
Congrats! That is a tremendous amount of skill and mental and physical, courage! Excellent video! The description in text is perfect!
Vraiment cool ce nouveau format avec les commentaires , bravo à toi pour ce run !
Great run and thank you for the POV and insight into your strategy 🤙
Kilian you and your top competition are all living legends. Huge props to you all, you're riding is so next level it's insane. The video is great and I loved reading the comments from you and leaving the ambient sound on to hear everything makes me feel like I'm right there. Beautiful work and thanks for sharing your footage! Best of luck going forward, hope that win comes soon but if not whatever man you win every day just being you!
Oh my gosh ! What a race! So challengeing! That was heartstopping and breathtakeing to watch... you did great and all who participated... Great skills are needed here and luck too... stay safe !
Наблюдаю за Вами пару лет , приятно видеть как Ваше стремление имеет результаты!!! Удачи Вам и новых побед!!!
the comments were really interesting :) i know nothing about cycling and these events at all but your videos are always so fun to watch. great run! #1 next time :)
Reading your thoughts is such a treat! As one who will never experience this, I truly enjoy reading what goes on in an elite racer's head! Thank you so much and best of luck to you in future races, especially having to come up with new strategies!
Amazing run... im going back and re-watch it again! 😊
On sent l'expérience, super tes dépassements, je te regarde tous les ans, bravo Killian :)
Just an idea for future videos, would it be possible to have a rear camera to gather footage of when you're having battles with other riders, like the ones you had with Kjell and Stefan, to see if they're gaining on you or you're leaving them behind, i feel it would bring yet another dimension to your already top notch videos.
Absolutely enthralling the entire way through! Combined with showing your speed and sharing your commentary the whole way through made me fully invested in this entire ride! I couldn’t look away! Wow! New fan here, thank you!
Cheers mate, it is nice to see ones thoughts during a sports event. That was really special, cheers!
quel style ! et quel bel état d'esprit tout au long de la course ! Bravo
Amazing video!
The commentary is a fantastic addition😊
Seeing you make a mistake and working your way to the front is also much more interesting for me as a spectator than a perfect run in first place.
One request tho:
Please make the font for your live ranking bigger/thicker, like the words "live ranking" - the thin number is very hard to see, especially against light backgrounds.
tks for bring all year your megavalanche race... it is amazing
I’m not sure how easy it would be to do, but a heart rate monitor would be a cool addition to the video.
I really appreciate your commentary on these. Right before you said you were writing your thoughts as you experienced them in the race I was wondering if you did, since later on in other races with your comments you often start to write thoughts of motivation and pushing through pain and numbness. Also really enjoy watching your rivalry with Stefan, it's great to have competitors who consistently push you in the mental game.
Awesomwe; never watched something like this before; sooo exciting, probably heart beat was as fast as yours.. . And the comments are just great as well, revealing! Feeling you even closer. Just wow! You got one more fan!!! 👍😀
The battle with Stefan and the comments made this SUPER enjoyable. Thank you, love from Canada
Impressive! 👏 Given the toughness of the race, no matter what place you finish, crossing the finish line itself is an achievement all the way down to the last rider.
Also, I really appreciate the healthy competitive spirit you have with your fellow riders.
All the best for next year! Cheers!! 🎉
👍
The comments set this run apart from all the others, so much better to feel involved in the race. Thx
Excellent effort. Great video. Appreciate the running commentary. Best of luck next year.xoxo
Love the highlights. I used to ride downhill on bikes as a kid but nothing like this. This race comes up in my feed every year and I get to re-experience my secret favorite sport through your videos, from Las Vegas, U.S. Thanks a million!!
we've got some stuff that's even gnarlier than Le Deux Alps over at Bootleg Canyon. Although it's not the same because there's only 800 feet of descent instead of 8,000 feet. But yeah, Kilian's videos are the best. Tactical mass start downhill.
Excellent video - well worth the wait. The commentary is really helpful to understand a rider's strategy for this race, and yours in particular. Even though I had watched other riders' videos and knew the result, it was still an intense experience to see it play out from your POV.
Your video reveals how the early stage on the snow is really crucial. The race can be won or lost in the first couple of minutes. It seems all the top riders are now at a level where there are very few opportunities for overtaking on some sections and much time can be lost behind a slower rider. Best wishes for next year.
A footnote to my comment above - I calculated it took Kilian a full minute longer to reach the singletrack section than Damien Oton. About 70 seconds longer than Hugo Pigeon. That is a huge disadvantage in a 40 minute race.
@@simonharling6234 and then you could still get a flat.
Two things spring to mind; bravery and insane fitness! well done to all contestants!
Wow!!! I had to watch every second of this race, job well done!
Tremendous run! Excellent video footage. Congrats on 4th place. Loved how you cut the corners, very fun to watch. The start was nuts with how soft the snow was. From watching videos from past years I don't think I've ever seen it that soft. Thanks for sharing such a great run.
Are u running off course when you cut corners? Is that legal, fair?
Over 80 km/h down the snow is incredibly insane! Hope, everyone made it alive to the finish 🙏
Congrats to the 3 dudes that crossed the Fin ahead of our dude. it’s a rare feat, so accolades are well-deserved to them.
Bu yarışta en iyi sürücü Damien Oton. Onun videosunu izlemeni tavsiye ediyorum teşekkürler.
The new style with all the informations is so nice! Can’t wait to see next years race again!
What an awesome idea to have the play-by-play bubble. Made it even better to watch something that's already amazing to watch! Merci!
Tu es beaucoup trop fort ! Bravo à tout le monde et merci d'avoir partagé ton expérience ainsi que ta pensée.
