The race starts wheels on snow in the early morning at 3400 meters height! Last year\u2019s edition of the MOH had to deal with difficult weather condition and riders faced freezing fog before they got under the clouds to discover the moraine. Those same riders came back for this year\u2019s edition to confront the mountain of hell, among world cup bikers, but this time, under a splendid blue sky and warm conditions!<\/p>\n<p>As for every edition of the MOH, a topic summarizes the very spirit of this magical event and this year topic is PIRATES OF THE CARIBEANS. This year MOH also celebrates the twinning between Les Deux Alpes and whistler resort, and five lucky finishers shall be determined by lot and win a trip to whistler!<\/p>\n<p>Even more! LIGHT ON MTB is an event within the event with its very own mountain bike film festival projected on giant outdoor screens, this year again presenting previews of international productions.

Local police radar flashed Tim BRATSCHI and recorded a 127km\/h speed.<br \/>\nThe show was amazing on top of glacier for the people and the local skiers who came to watch the event, but also a crazy race all the way down to the resort.<\/p>\n<p>25 km of madness through ice, snow, rocks and forest until the riders reached the small Venosc\u2019s footpath which includes steps, big steps, threes, big rocks and vertical drops.\u00a0 Quite a lot of falls but no real hard damage!<\/p>\n<p>Finally, French Killian Bron from France (3<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0place in 2017) is the clear winner of the race with a record time of 29minutes descent (he can thank the bistrot les lutins for the amazing food he had that week!).
