Advice for Megavalanche novice please.

The Sprint Race is a proper DH race, but the track is amazing. Its so steep and fast and rough…Excellent! But a proper DH rig is needed for this race.

The riding around Alp D’Huez is excellent. So much more natural and rough than Morzine.

Its so steep and fast and rough

I’d wouldn’t call it steep or rough. It’s pretty dam fast, smooth and easy. As it’s pretty easy you’d have to be absolutely pinned to be anywhere high up the results.

I agree the sprint race isn’t worth doing as it takes up too much time.

i disagree about the sprint its fast and steep tho not too technical just a few parts that mess with your head

concentrate on the mega, arm pump is the killer and unless you really are out to win it tough and reliable is the way forward

more than anything though its the most fun ive ever had on a bike, just enjoy it
