7 years since the BikingMan had to leave his country of heart for other countries. 2026 therefore marks the return of the IncaDivide, the legendary ultracycling event which takes its brave participants on an extraordinary adventure, in the middle of the gigantic landscapes offered by the Peruvian Andes, from its peaks over 6000m to its valleys of titanic dimensions.
And for this 4th edition, a completely new route awaited the runners with a unique promise: to pedal at an altitude of more than 5000m and experience conditions that only Peru can offer.

Participating in an ultracycling race is always an adventure full of challenges and surprises.

BikingMan Alpes-Maritimes is an intense race through the French Alps. The route, the weather conditions, and the demanding ascents all contributed to making this experience an unforgettable memory.

Summary of Day 3: Valberg and the Col de la Couillole

Welcome to the third day of BikingMan Alpes-Maritimes. We are in Valberg, the location of checkpoint 2 and the finish line. Before reaching this point, we had to cross the Col de la Couillole.

Early in the morning, we met participants tackling this ascent after a rainy night.

Ascending the Col de la Couillole: In Difficult Conditions

The previous night had been marked by torrential rains, making conditions particularly challenging. Several participants shared their impressions, mentioning the difficulty of cycling in the rain and cold. The climb to the Col de la Couillole, peaking at 1678 meters, was tough after such a rough night. The 17 kilometers of ascent with an average slope of 6% was a real test for the tired legs of the cyclists. Despite this, the first rays of morning sunlight brought a welcome comfort, helping to lift the participants’ spirits.

A small group of cyclists arrived at checkpoint 2 in the morning, sharing their nighttime adventures. They spoke about the difficulty of descending in the rain, the need to brake constantly, and the challenges posed by the extreme weather conditions. Each had a unique story to tell about the trials they had overcome.

Reflecting on the Route: The Col de la Lombarde

Before discussing the battle for victory, we must look back at the route to the Col de la Lombarde, situated at 2350 meters. This pass was particularly feared due to the torrential rains and freezing cold that accompanied it. Participants faced daunting conditions but showed incredible determination.

The Race Leaders: Jean-Michel Morin, Lorian Placé, and Harvey Bird

Three ultracyclists stood out at the front of the race: Jean-Michel Morin, Lorian Placé, and the Briton Harvey Bird. They continued their progression, tackling the last cols before the finish line. Jean-Michel Morin took a significant lead, crossing the final ascents with unwavering determination. The Col de Turini, well-known to cycling and motorsport enthusiasts, was one of the last major challenges before the end of the race. At this point, the cyclists had already covered more than 800 kilometers, making each pedal stroke even more demanding.

Victory for Jean-Michel Morin

Jean-Michel Morin eventually won the BikingMan Alpes-Maritimes, his first victory in the ultracycling world championship. He outpaced Lorian Placé and Harvey Bird, showcasing a remarkable performance despite the tough conditions.

This race was a true test of strength, both physically and mentally. I learned to push my limits, persevere despite difficulties, and appreciate every moment, even the toughest ones. The encounters and lessons from this experience will remain etched in my memory.

The BikingMan Alpes-Maritimes is more than just a race. It’s an adventure that tests the resilience and determination of every participant. Traversing magnificent landscapes under extreme conditions and crossing daunting cols is an unforgettable experience. For anyone seeking the ultimate ultracycling challenge, this race is a must.
