Et pour la première fois étaient proposées un air bag de fou, 2 types de terrain de trial completement differents et une baron race (toutes les catégories de pilote VTT s'affrontent sur une même piste afin de savoir qui est le plus rapide, habile sur un VTT, peu importe sa pratique de base) !
For the first time the k124 days (previously koxx days) left Buthiers' rocks. They took place in a trials famous venue, La Tour de Scay. Some people was surprised by this decision, but I guess that the public and riders who lived the event didn't regret this option ! As we mentionned it before we had the feeling that we had done the best possible in Buthiers, whereas thanks to Alain Remy the new venue offers unlimited possibilities.
So for the first time we had a huge air bag, a 4X track, 2 complete different trials venues and a baron race track (all categories of MTB are put together into a unique track to define who's the best on a bike no matter his usual kind of riding) !

As you can see on the pic up there the fisrt round of the super elite competition was "old school", spike rocks, no grip at all... and a really bad weather mixed with huge sections.
At the end of the first round I was first but so (so!) many mistakes in the second lap plus a top perf of Benito change it all. Finaly Benito won that rounbd with 8 points of advantage on me. Gilles Coustellier finished with the same total than me. Feelings ? more or less "Well Benito killed us all ! But with a so so performance it is good to match Coustellier and to beat Kenny Belaey."

Bravo Benito ! De bonne augure pour ta saison en 20''
Le lundi, attention les yeux, j'ai pu testé un proto de fourche carbone a moins de 450g ! Elle n'est pas encore au point et le test a du etre raccourci mais c'est vraiment encourageant, vivement les prochains protos revus !
Avec Franck nous n'en sommes qu'au debut de la prépa, dans le but de mettre en place certaines evolutions techniques nous avons occulté pour un temps la partie prepa physique. Du coup je suis encore loin de maitriser ma technique comme je le voudrais et je suis a l'arret physiquement... Dans ces conditions c'est plutot positif d'etre parvenu a faire jeu egal à deux reprises avec le champion du Monde, et a devancer le numero un mondial.
Avec quelques semaines de plus pour finaliser la partie technique et surtout retrouver une grosse grosse forme tout devrait bien se mettre en place. Je suis impatient d'en decoudre sur les coupes du Monde !
The assesment of those k124 days is quite positive for me.
With Franck we are just at the beginning of the preparation, to put in order some technicals skills we have stopped the physical aspect of the preparation. So I am quite far to master my technics and I am out of form... In those conditions it is good to match twice the world champ, and to beat the UCI wold number 1.
With few more weeks to adjust my technical skills and to be fit back all would go better. I can't wait for the beginning of the world cups !
