Such a fun race!! I was a bit too careful on the snow at the start after seeing Theo crash in the first corner and people seemingly flying everywhere. It felt really sketchy at the time. Luckily the race is long and I knew I could make time on the single track if I had clear track or ride really efficiently if I was behind someone/in a group which would allow me to be fresh for the climbs. I know my fitness is good for the 30second to 2min climbs also and that I'd be able to pass on those. Had another tight race with Alexis and Olivier for 2nd and they both got the better of me this time but it was good to race them as always! Congrats to Kilian for the win! . P.S I realised after uploading that I've filmed this in 24p and exported it as 25p it still looks normal 99.9% of the time but if there is the odd small jump that's why! My internet is soooo bad here (it took over 24hours to upload) otherwise I would change it and reupload!

@@Pionearr Killan is like a machine but I still enjoyed this run as well. It's fun to watch you have to battle for position instead of just ride the entire time.

Watched this while I had a fever and the wind at the speeds you were going cooled me down. Thanks bro, you saved my life.

Amazing come back Liam! definitely been one of the best races of MoH over the last few years!

The speed tuck was the best move he did on fast downhills. It's saving him energy he well spent on uphills. For most to understand, it takes exponentially more energy/force to fight wind speed the faster you go, so there is a point where pedaling with wide arms is more tiring and slower than just fly downhill ducking down and tucking the arms in. Bravo

This was incredible! Just watched it and became and instant fan! Beautiful scenery and FANTASTIC JOB! 👏🏽👏🏽

The tuck in at 11min in ,was awesome. With your shadow and Crazy speed need the edge. Loved it.

Congrats! It takes a lot of skill, courage, and strength to accomplish this. I was getting nervous watching you maneuver the tight turns at the cliff edges. Superb!!!

It was very difficult to make out the correct path in many places. Also some parts of the track seemed like death traps to me. Those tiny bridges around the time you twisted your ankle were not visible until very close and they look like they are only 1 bike wide.
