FlowMTB, the mountain bike holiday company are offering customers guaranteed front row position at the 2010 Megavalanche!
That means you could be lining up alongside big names such as Brendan Fairclough, Fabien Barel and Chris Kovarick! And you may even get out of the blocks quicker than they do!
FlowMTB have guaranteed 5 front row, 10 second row and 10 third row starting positions in the qualifying waves for customers who book for the 2010 Alpe d’Huez Megavalanche through them – but it’s first come first serve, so if you fancy rubbing shoulders with the cream of the crop you need to be quick about it.
The FlowMTB Megavalanche week will run from the 5-12 July and will cost between €420 – 475. Included will be breakfast and 3 course evening meals for 7 nights in a FlowMTB dedicated hotel in the old section of town known as “vieil alpe”.
Also available solely for FlowMTB customers is the chance to ride their 2010 Santa Cruz Hecklers and Bullits in the Megavalanche if your own build isn’t up to standard.

Is that for the qualifier or for the actual race?
Just the qualifier. we’re only removing the lottery that is the number allocation for your qualifying start row – the rest is up to you!
Mmm… blue skies and mountains.
Neat idea – do the pros actually do the qualifying as well though? Worth it just to get a head-start on the unwashed masses but if the appeal for some is starting next to the pros that needs clarification.
the pro’s do do the qualifying, yep. Check out this video -http://vimeo.com/5935204 helmet cam was strapped to Chris Kovaric – you can see Danny Heart racing away at the start of their qualifying race.
The pros do have a get out though: they will get to start in the fifth row of the main race in any event (i.e. mechanical or puncture) – I guess this is to ensure they actually race and come to the event.
Damn, I wish you’d done this last year, or the year before 🙂
It’s also worth mentioning that it’s only guaranteed if you actually make your qualifier! Get up early, or forget you’re british and don’t queue.
Good coup
Very cool idea. Gives you a much better chance of making the actual race proper. Shame I can’t do it next year.
