			<h3><strong>En quelques mots</strong></h3>
<p>Une des légendes sur l’origine du nom donné à l’île de Corse nous apprend que les Grecs l’auraient appelée Kallistê (en grec ancien: «le plus beau»). Vrai ou faux, cette île mythique est le joyau de la mer Méditerranée et offre une expérience cycliste extraordinaire. Sa topographie en fait une montagne émergée de la mer.<br />
Quatrième plus grande île de la mer Méditerranée, la Corse a longtemps fait partie de la République de Gênes avant de devenir un département français pendant la révolution, le 15 janvier 1790.<br />
Ses immenses forêts et ses nombreux sommets situés à 2.000 mètres d’altitude ont longtemps été un défi pour ses envahisseurs potentiels de pénétrer sur ses terres. L’île possède une biodiversité riche et préservée avec de nombreuses réserves protégées. Ses montagnes, enneigées en hiver, entraînent des passages exigeants. Attendez-vous à une expérience riche en ascensions, à la meilleure période climatique/touristique.</p>

			<h2><strong>BikingMan Corsica &#8211; Jour 1</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Les Premiers Moments Avant le Départ</strong></p>
<p>Avant d&rsquo;évoquer l&rsquo;essentiel de cette première journée, revenons quelques instants avant le départ. La procédure obligatoire inclut le contrôle du matériel et les derniers conseils de sécurité donnés par Axel Caron, l&rsquo;organisateur. Les 200 participants étaient impatients de commencer, malgré quelques mésaventures comme celle d&rsquo;un coureur ayant failli manquer le départ à cause d&rsquo;une grève des contrôleurs aériens à Paris Orly.</p>
<p><strong>Les Premiers Tours de Pédales</strong></p>
<p>Le départ s&rsquo;est fait par vagues de 10 coureurs pour éviter de former un peloton massif, question de sécurité. Les cyclistes se dirigent vers le nord en direction du Cap Corse, longeant la côte avec des vues magnifiques. Dès le début, les descentes corses, plus étroites que celles des Pyrénées, ont surpris plusieurs participants. Les groupes se sont formés au fil des heures en fonction des rythmes de chacun.</p>
<p><strong>Premières Difficultés et Ravitaillements</strong></p>
<p>Sur la côte ouest du Cap Corse, les cyclistes ont continué à longer des plages aux eaux turquoise. Après une centaine de kilomètres, de nombreux participants se arrêté près des fontaine, offrant une pause bienvenue pour le ravitaillement.</p>
<p><strong>La Montée Vers le Col de Bataille</strong></p>
<p>Au kilomètre 150, après la ville touristique de Saint-Florent, un groupe de tête s&rsquo;est formé, passant à travers le désert des Agriates en direction du checkpoint 1, situé au sommet du col de Bataille. Cette montée, réputée pour ses pentes raides, a été un défi de taille pour les participants. Le leader, Gregory, a atteint le sommet avec une mer de nuages pour l&rsquo;accueillir, ajoutant une touche de beauté à cet effort.</p>
<p><strong>Émotions et Réactions</strong></p>
<p>Les réactions au checkpoint ont été variées. Certains ont exprimé leur soulagement, d&rsquo;autres ont partagé leurs premières anecdotes qui deviendront des souvenirs impérissables. Malgré la difficulté, tous semblaient satisfaits d&rsquo;avoir atteint ce premier objectif, appréciant la vue dégagée sur la région de la Balagne.</p>
<p><strong>Une Nuit de Repos Méritée</strong></p>
<p>La première bataille nocturne en direction du checkpoint 2 à Verro s&rsquo;annonce. La plupart des participants choisiront de se reposer après cette journée éprouvante, tandis que l&rsquo;arrière du peloton s&rsquo;est déjà arrêté autour de Saint-Florent, situé au kilomètre 138.</p>

			<h2>BikingMan Corsica &#8211; Day 1</h2>
<p><strong>The First Moments Before the Start</strong></p>
<p>Before diving into the key events of this first day, let&rsquo;s go back to the moments just before the start. The mandatory procedures included equipment checks and the last safety tips given by Axel Caron, the organizer. The 200 participants were eager to begin, despite some mishaps like one rider nearly missing the start due to an air traffic controllers&rsquo; strike at Paris Orly.</p>
<p><strong>The First Pedal Strokes</strong></p>
<p>The start was organized in waves of 10 riders to avoid forming a massive peloton for safety reasons. The cyclists headed north towards Cap Corse, riding along the coast with stunning views. Right from the beginning, the narrow Corsican descents, unlike those in the Pyrenees, surprised several participants. Groups formed over the hours based on each rider&rsquo;s pace.</p>
<p><strong>Initial Challenges and Refreshments</strong></p>
<p>On the west coast of Cap Corse, the cyclists continued along beaches with turquoise waters. After about a hundred kilometers, many participants stopped near fountains, offering a welcome break for refreshments.</p>
<p><strong>The Climb to Col de Bataille</strong></p>
<p>At kilometer 150, after the tourist town of Saint-Florent, a lead group formed, passing through the Agriates Desert towards checkpoint 1 at the summit of Col de Bataille. This climb, known for its steep gradients, was a significant challenge for the participants. The leader, Gregory, reached the summit greeted by a sea of clouds, adding a touch of beauty to this intense effort.</p>
<p><strong>Emotions and Reactions</strong></p>
<p>Reactions at the checkpoint were varied. Some expressed relief, while others shared their first anecdotes that would become lasting memories. Despite the difficulty, everyone seemed pleased to have reached this first goal, enjoying the clear view over the Balagne region.</p>
<p><strong>A Well-Deserved Night of Rest</strong></p>
<p>The first night battle towards checkpoint 2 in Verro is set to begin. Most participants will choose to rest after this exhausting day, while the back of the peloton has already stopped around Saint-Florent, located at kilometer 138.</p>

			<h2>BikingMan Corsica : Jour 2</h2>
<p>Nous nous trouvons actuellement au Col de Bavella, à 1218 mètres d&rsquo;altitude, un des points les plus difficiles de ce parcours. C&rsquo;est également un endroit emblématique pour les randonneurs, car le célèbre GR20 y passe. Derrière moi, vous pouvez apercevoir les aiguilles de granit rouge, offrant un panorama unique.</p>
<p><strong>Point sur les Leaders</strong></p>
<p>Les leaders du BikingMan Corsica ont atteint le checkpoint 2 à Verro au kilomètre 469 dès le début de cette deuxième journée. Rémi Borrion est arrivé en premier à ce point de contrôle. Voici ses premières impressions :</p>
<blockquote><p>
<em>« C&rsquo;est dur pour tout le monde, il y avait des cols gratinés entre le premier et le deuxième checkpoint. C&rsquo;était moins beau qu&rsquo;hier, mais bon, j&rsquo;ai fait deux micro-siestes et après ça allait mieux. Ce matin, j&rsquo;ai même dû éviter un cochon sur la route, c&rsquo;était incroyable. »</em>
</p></blockquote>
<p>Rémi a également mentionné quelques difficultés mécaniques, notamment une crevaison au début d&rsquo;une montée qu&rsquo;il a heureusement pu réparer. Après Piana, il a eu du mal à maintenir le rythme, mais une micro-sieste l&rsquo;a remis en forme pour continuer.</p>
<p><strong>Retour sur le Col de Vergio</strong></p>
<p>Le col de Vergio, situé autour du kilomètre 310, est une autre des grandes difficultés de ce parcours. Les cyclistes du milieu du peloton se préparaient à attaquer ce col au début de cette deuxième journée. Dormir a été difficile pour certains, qui ont trouvé des endroits improvisés pour se reposer, comme sur des coins de table.</p>
<p>Ce col de Vergio culmine à plus de 1470 mètres d&rsquo;altitude et offre une vue spectaculaire sur les montagnes. Les ultracyclistes ont pu profiter d&rsquo;une descente vers Porto avant d&rsquo;aborder les fameuses Calanques de Piana, classées au patrimoine mondial de l&rsquo;UNESCO. Ces formations rocheuses offrent un spectacle grandiose, mais la montée est exigeante, surtout après 40 kilomètres de descente.</p>
<p><strong>Checkpoint 2 et au-delà</strong></p>
<p>Au kilomètre 469, au checkpoint 2 de Verro, certains participants commencent à ressentir la fatigue. Les matelas mis à disposition par l&rsquo;organisation sont très appréciés pour une petite sieste bien méritée. Pour d&rsquo;autres, c&rsquo;est le moment de savourer et de se reposer après avoir parcouru presque la moitié du parcours.</p>
<p>Le col de Scalella, juste après le checkpoint 2, est un autre défi majeur avec une pente moyenne de 7% et 800 mètres de dénivelé positif. Les conditions peuvent devenir délicates, surtout si le temps se gâte.</p>
<p><strong>Prochaines Étapes</strong></p>
<p>Les leaders, après avoir passé le col de l&rsquo;Ospédale, devront traverser le col de Bavella pendant la nuit, offrant une nouvelle bataille psychologique entre les prétendants au podium. Rém Borrion semble confortablement installé en tête, se dirigeant peut-être vers une troisième victoire au BikingMan.</p>
<p>Nous vous invitons à suivre cette course palpitante en temps réel sur les réseaux sociaux de BikingMan et sur la plateforme de Live Tracking. Rendez-vous demain pour un point sur le troisième jour du BikingMan Corsica.</p>

			<h2><strong>BikingMan Corsica : Day 2</strong></h2>
<p>We are currently at the Col de Bavella, at an altitude of 1218 meters, one of the most difficult points on this route. It&rsquo;s also a famous spot for hikers as the renowned GR20 passes through here. Behind me, you can see the red granite needles, offering a unique landscape.</p>
<p><strong>Leader Update</strong></p>
<p>The leaders of the BikingMan Corsica reached checkpoint 2 in Verro at kilometer 469 at the start of this second day. Rémi Borrion arrived first at this checkpoint. Here are his initial impressions:</p>
<blockquote><p>
« It&rsquo;s tough for everyone; there were some grueling climbs between the first and second checkpoints. It was less scenic than yesterday, but I took two micro-naps, and after that, I felt better. This morning, I even had to avoid a pig on the road, which was incredible. »
</p></blockquote>
<p>Rémi also mentioned some mechanical difficulties, including a puncture at the beginning of a significant climb, which he managed to repair. The road being quite rough, he thoroughly tested his repair. After Piana, he struggled a bit, but another micro-nap helped him regain his strength to continue.</p>
<p><strong>Revisiting the Col de Vergio</strong></p>
<p>The Col de Vergio, located around kilometer 310, is another major challenge on this route. Mid-pack cyclists were preparing to tackle this col at the start of this second day. Sleeping was difficult for some, who found improvised spots to rest, such as on table corners or in cribs.</p>
<p>This col, peaking at over 1470 meters in altitude, offers a spectacular view of the mountains and distant snow. The ultracyclists could enjoy a descent towards Porto before tackling the famous Calanques de Piana, a UNESCO World Heritage site. These rock formations provide a stunning spectacle, but the climb is demanding, especially after 40 kilometers of descent.</p>
<p><strong>Checkpoint 2 and Beyond</strong></p>
<p>At kilometer 469, at checkpoint 2 in Verro, some participants are beginning to feel the fatigue. The mattresses provided by the organization are greatly appreciated for a well-deserved nap. For others, it&rsquo;s time to savor the moment and rest after covering almost half the route.</p>
<p>The Col de Scalella, just after checkpoint 2, is another major challenge with an average gradient of 7% and 800 meters of elevation gain. Conditions can become tricky, especially if the weather turns bad.</p>
<p><strong>Next Steps</strong></p>
<p>The leaders, after passing the Col de l&rsquo;Ospédale, will cross the Col de Bavella during the night, presenting a new psychological battle among the podium contenders. Rémi Borrion seems comfortably in the lead, potentially heading towards a third victory at the BikingMan.</p>
<p>We invite you to follow this thrilling race in real-time on the BikingMan social media and the Live Tracking platform. See you tomorrow for an update on the third day of the BikingMan Corsica.</p>

			<h2>BikingMan Corsica : Jour 3</h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Les premiers ultracyclistes sont arrivés au camping San Damiano et c’est Rémi Borrion qui a ouvert le bal des finishers en remportant son 3<sup>ème</sup> Bikingman après le France et AURA ! Suivront Jonathan Chassain et Grégory Cassini dans les deux heures suivantes.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Fait marquant sr ce BikingMan Corsica, une paire composée de Nicolas Filippi et Anthony Duriani arrive aux portes du podium.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Les hommes de tête auront traversé toute la nuit le parc naturel régional avec comme porte d’entrée le col de Bavella, difficulté majeure de ce BikingMan Corsica et la corniche de la Castagniccia en sortie avant de plonger sur la lagune au sud de Bastia où se situe la ligne d’arrivée.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Le CP3 situé à Zicavo a vu arriver Rémi Borrion ce lundi soir un peu avant minuit, et depuis les arrivées s’enchainent. Les CP1 et CP2 sont désormais fermés, tous les concurrents sont, ou se dirigent, vers le centre de l’île et ses montagnes. C’est dans ce parc naturel régional que les concurrents vont affronter une multitude de difficultés, à commencer par le froid nocturne, les ascensions dont l’interminable col de Verde qui bascule sur Ghisoni et  les animaux en liberté, comme les cochons, les vaches, les chèvres, les sangliers. Prudence donc car si le classement de tête n’a presque pas bougé ces dernières 24h, le top 20 sera sujet à de grandes manœuvre tant les positions sont fragiles et incertaines et raison de ces multiples facteurs.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">A Biguglia les arrivées vont maintenant s’enchainer nuit et jour jusqu’à Vendredi midi.</p>

			<h2>BikingMan Corsica : Day 3</h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The first riders arrived at the San Damiano campsite, and it was Rémi Borrion who opened the finishers&rsquo; ball, winning his 3rd Bikingman after France and AURA. Next up were Jonathan Chassain and Grégory Cassini in the next two hours.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">A highlight of this BikingMan Corsica was the pairing of Nicolas Filippi and Anthony Duriani, who came within a hair&rsquo;s breadth of the podium.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">All night long, the frontrunners crossed the regional nature park, starting with the Col de Bavella, the major difficulty of this BikingMan Corsica, and finishing on the Corniche de la Castaniche, before plunging into the lagoon south of Bastia, where the finish line is located.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">CP3 in Zicavo saw Rémi Borrion arrive just before midnight on Monday evening, and since then the arrivals have continued. CP1 and CP2 are now closed, and all competitors are, or are heading, towards the island&rsquo;s mountainous center. It&rsquo;s in this regional nature park that the competitors are going to face a multitude of difficulties, starting with the night-time cold, the climbs including the interminable Col de Verde which drops down to Ghisoni, and the free-roaming animals, such as pigs, cows, goats and wild boars. So be careful, because while the leading positions have hardly moved in the last 24 hours, the top 20 will be subject to a great deal of manoeuvring, as positions are so fragile and uncertain due to so many factors.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In Biguglia, the arrivals will now take place night and day until mid Friday.</p>

			<h2>BikingMan Corsica : Jour 4</h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">A l’heure où vous lisez ces lignes, tous les participants sont dans le redoutable parc naturel régional. Sébastien Ralle, notre lanterne rouge vient à l’instant de passer le col de Bavella. C’est à présent un enfer vert qui attend les participants, même si Bavella est franchi, il reste une multitude de difficultés qui jalonnent le parcours entre Zonza et la corniche de la Castaniccia avec notamment les ascensions des cols de la Vaccia et de Verde (dernier plus haut col de ce tronçon).</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Le CP3, merveilleusement organisé par nos Race Angels Néri et Amandio, va accueillir les ultracyclistes toute la nuit et une partie de la journée de ce jeudi. Même si l’arrivée semble proche il faudra redoubler d’attention sur ce dernier tronçon tant les pièges d’un point de vue faune, topographie et climatique sont nombreux.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">A Biguglia au camping san damiano, les arrivées s’enchainent jour et nuit et les finishers se retrouvent pour partager leur aventure autour de la Pietra tant convoitée.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Bon courage à tous ces finishers qui dans les prochaines heures, vont se découvrir de nouvelles limites métaboliques et mentales.</p>

<h2>Bienvenue sur le BikingMan Sri Lanka</h2>
<p>Bienvenue au cœur du Sri Lanka où la première émission de la saison du Championnat du Monde d&rsquo;ultracyclisme BikingMan prend ses quartiers. L&rsquo;événement débute en fanfare sur le site de la forteresse de Yapahuwa, un joyau architectural du 13e siècle, marquant ainsi le coup d&rsquo;envoi d&rsquo;une course qui promet d&rsquo;être inoubliable.</p>
<p><strong>Préparatifs et Départ de la Course</strong></p>
<p>Le départ de la course a été donné ce dimanche à midi, heure locale, à Negombo, au nord de la capitale: Colombo. Avant cela, les participants ont dû passer par une étape cruciale de check-in matériel. Ce processus de vérification garantit que tous les coureurs sont équipés de l&rsquo;essentiel pour affronter les défis à venir, notamment le transport de l&rsquo;eau, le matériel de réparation, et des vêtements adaptés aux exigences de l&rsquo;organisation.</p>
<h2><strong>Jour 1 : Les Premiers Kilomètres</strong></h2>
<p>Le départ de la course s&rsquo;est déroulé sous la supervision des forces militaires sri-lankaises, qui ont neutralisé les 25 premiers kilomètres pour assurer la sécurité des coureurs, en raison de la circulation dense. Ce parcours a permis aux participants de découvrir le bord de l&rsquo;océan indien avant de plonger plus avant dans l&rsquo;intérieur de l&rsquo;île au coeur de plaines végétales.</p>
<p><strong>Profil des Participants</strong></p>
<p>Le peloton de cette année est un mélange intéressant de vétérans et de nouveaux venus. Beaucoup parmi eux ont déjà l&rsquo;expérience des courses BikingMan, tandis que d&rsquo;autres découvrent pour la première fois l&rsquo;intensité et les défis de ce championnat mondial.</p>
<p>Dès les premières heures, un petit groupe de tête a commencé à se distinguer, tandis qu&rsquo;un autre groupe, préférant ne pas défier les leaders sous la chaleur accablante, a choisi de maintenir un rythme plus conservateur. La gestion de la chaleur, l&rsquo;hydratation et le bon fonctionnement du matériel se révèlent être des aspects cruciaux pour tous les participants.</p>
<p><strong>Checkpoint 1 : Sigiriya</strong></p>
<p>Les coureurs doivent atteindre le premier checkpoint à Sigiriya après 298 km de course, un trajet qui les mènera à travers divers paysages, incluant des pistes de terre spécifiques à la région. Axel Carion, le fondateur des courses BikingMan, souligne l&rsquo;importance de l&rsquo;adaptation à ces terrains variés et les défis qu&rsquo;ils représentent.</p>
<p><strong>Situation de course après une journée</strong></p>
<p>La première journée se termine au crépuscule, avec les leaders en bonne position pour entamer la bataille nocturne vers le checkpoint. Parmi eux, la française Laurianne PLAÇAIS, la championne en titre, poursuit le belge Guillaume DE SPOELBERCH, qui a mené avec brio durant toute la journée. Ils sont suivi de l&rsquo;italien Cristian AURIEMMA en troisième position.</p>
<p>Le Championnat du Monde BikingMan au Sri Lanka offre un mélange d&rsquo;aventure et de découverte culturelle, tout en testant les limites des ultracyclistes dans l&rsquo;un des environnements les plus exigeants du monde. Restez connectés pour les développements de cette course palpitante au cœur de la perle de l&rsquo;océan indien.</p>

<h2>Welcome to BikingMan Sri Lanka</h2>
<p>Welcome to the heart of Sri Lanka, where the first event of the BikingMan Ultracycling World Championship season takes place. The event kicks off spectacularly on the site of the Yapahuwa Fortress, a 13th-century architectural gem, kicking off what promises to be an unforgettable race.</p>
<p><strong>Race preparations and start</strong></p>
<p>The start of the race was given at noon local time on Sunday in Negombo, north of the capital Colombo. Prior to this, participants had to go through a crucial equipment check-in stage. This checking process ensures that all runners are equipped with the essentials to face the challenges ahead, including water transport, repair equipment, and clothing adapted to the organization&rsquo;s requirements.</p>
<p><strong>Day 1: The first kilometers</strong></p>
<p>The start of the race took place under the supervision of Sri Lankan military forces, who neutralized the first 25 kilometers to ensure the safety of the runners, due to heavy traffic. This route allowed participants to discover the Indian Ocean seaside and before plunging deeper into the island&rsquo;s interior.</p>
<p><strong>Participant profile</strong></p>
<p>This year&rsquo;s field is an interesting mix of veterans and newcomers. Many of them already have experience of BikingMan races, while others are discovering the intensity and challenges of this world championship for the first time.</p>
<p>From the very first hours, a small leading group began to stand out, while another group, preferring not to challenge the leaders in the sweltering heat, chose to maintain a more conservative pace. Managing the heat, staying hydrated and keeping equipment in good working order proved crucial for all participants.</p>
<p><strong>Checkpoint 1: Sigiriya</strong></p>
<p>Riders must reach the first checkpoint in Sigiriya after 298 km of racing, a route that will take them through a variety of landscapes, including dirt tracks specific to the region. Axel Carion, founder of the BikingMan races, emphasizes the importance of adapting to these varied terrains and the challenges they present.</p>
<p><strong>Race situation after one day</strong></p>
<p>The first day ended at dusk, with the leaders in good position to begin the night&rsquo;s battle towards the checkpoint. Among them, the french Laurianne PLAÇAIS, the reigning champion, chases the belgium Guillaume DE SPOELBERCH, who led brilliantly throughout the day. They are followed by Italian Cristian AURIEMMA in third place.</p>

<h2>Jour 2 sur le BikingMan Sri Lanka</h2>
<p>Bienvenue de retour au Sri Lanka pour le compte rendu de la deuxième journée du BikingMan, un événement marquant dans le monde de l&rsquo;ultracyclisme. Les participants ont pour défi de couvrir 1000 km en un maximum de 120 heures, en totale autonomie. Aujourd&rsquo;hui, nous nous trouvons à Nuwara Eliya, surnommée la « Petite Angleterre » en raison de son climat frais et de ses vastes plantations de thé, pour le checkpoint 2 de la compétition.</p>
<p><strong>Retour sur le Checkpoint 1 à Sigiriya</strong></p>
<p>La première journée s&rsquo;est terminée à Sigiriya où les premiers coureurs ont fait leur entrée, déjà épuisés mais déterminés. Les participants partagent leur expérience, après un début difficile avec des symptômes de surchauffe, l&rsquo;achat d&rsquo;eau et une protection supplémentaire pour la nuque ont amélioré la condition de certain. La nuit tombée, d&rsquo;autres cyclistes ont rejoint, malgré les défis ajoutés par des chiens le long du parcours.</p>
<p>Durant leur parcours, les participants ont partagé diverses expériences, des rencontres inattendues avec la faune locale, comme des éléphants. Certains ont dû s&rsquo;arrêter pour régler des problèmes mécaniques, perdant un temps précieux, affectant leur performance et leur moral.</p>
<p><strong>Départ vers le Checkpoint 2</strong></p>
<p>Le lever du soleil du deuxième jour a vu les leaders s&rsquo;engager dans le parc de Riverston, connu pour ses paysages spectaculaires mais aussi pour ses chemins exigeants. L&rsquo;un des points forts de cette section a été l&rsquo;ascension de Riverston dans la chaine de montagne de Knuckles, une montée redoutable qui a testé les limites de chaque cycliste avec sa déclivité intense.</p>
<p><strong>Arrivée à Nuwara Eliya</strong></p>
<p>En atteignant Nuwara Eliya, les cyclistes ont pu profiter d&rsquo;un repos bien mérité, certains choisissant de prendre une courte sieste pour récupérer avant de reprendre la route. Le climat plus frais de la région offrait un répit bienvenu après la chaleur intense des étapes précédentes.</p>
<p><strong>Perspectives et Préparation pour la suite</strong></p>
<p>La compétition continue de s&rsquo;intensifier alors que les ultracyclistes se préparent pour le checkpoint 3 à Tissamaharama, situé près de la côte sud de l&rsquo;île. La bataille pour la première place se dessine principalement entre trois coureurs qui ont pris une avance significative sur les autres. On retrouve le même trio de tête, toujours dans le même ordre, Guillaume DE SPOELBERCH en première position, Laurianne PLAÇAIS en deuxième position, et Cristian AURIEMMA pour compléter le podium provisoire.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>La course BikingMan au Sri Lanka est un test d&rsquo;endurance et de volonté, où chaque kilomètre peut révéler de nouvelles surprises et de nouveaux défis. Alors que les participants continuent de pédaler à travers des paysages à couper le souffle, ils partagent non seulement une aventure sportive mais aussi une série d&rsquo;expériences personnelles et collectives qui resteront gravées dans leur mémoire.</p>

<h2>Day 2 on the BikingMan Sri Lanka</h2>
<p>Welcome back to Sri Lanka for our report on the second day of the Biking Man, a landmark event in the world of ultracycling. Participants are challenged to cover 1000 km in a maximum of 120 hours, in total autonomy. Today we&rsquo;re in Nuwara Eliya, nicknamed “Little England” for its cool climate and vast tea plantations, for the competition&rsquo;s Checkpoint 2.</p>
<p><strong>Back to Checkpoint 1 in Sigiriya</strong><br />
The first day ended in Sigiriya, where the first runners made their entrance, already exhausted but determined. After a difficult start with symptoms of overheating, the purchase of water and extra neck protection improved the condition of some. As night fell, other cyclists joined in, despite the added challenges of dogs along the route.</p>
<p>Along the way, participants shared a variety of experiences, including unexpected encounters with local wildlife such as elephants. Some had to stop to sort out mechanical problems, losing precious time, affecting their performance and morale.</p>
<p><strong>Off to Checkpoint 2</strong><br />
Sunrise on day two saw the leaders head into Riverstone Park, known for its spectacular scenery but also for its demanding trails. One of the highlights of this section was the ascent of Riverstone, a fearsome climb that tested every cyclist&rsquo;s limits with its intense gradient.</p>
<p><strong>Arrival in Nuwara Eliya</strong><br />
On reaching Nuwara Eliya, the cyclists enjoyed a well-deserved rest, some choosing to take a short nap to recover before hitting the road again. The region&rsquo;s cooler climate offered a welcome respite from the intense heat of the previous stages.</p>
<p><strong>Outlook and preparation for what&rsquo;s to come</strong><br />
The competition continues to intensify as the ultracyclists prepare for checkpoint 3 at Tissamaharama, near the island&rsquo;s south coast. The battle for first place is mainly between three riders who have taken a significant lead over the others. We find the same leading trio, still in the same order, Guillaume DE SPOELBERCH in first place, Laurianne PLAÇAIS in second, and Cristian AURIEMMA to complete the provisional podium.</p>

			<h2>Jour 3 sur le BikingMan Sri Lanka</h2>
<p>Bienvenue à Panadura sur la côte ouest du Sri Lanka pour le dénouement de la troisième journée du BikingMan, une compétition épique d&rsquo;ultracyclisme. Alors que le vainqueur vient d&rsquo;être couronné, plongeons dans les moments forts de cette étape et les défis endurés par les cyclistes lors de cette épreuve.</p>
<p>Le BikingMan Sri Lanka, étape du championnat du monde d&rsquo;ultracyclisme, a vu ses participants s&rsquo;affronter sur des routes exigeantes. Après deux jours intenses, la compétition a atteint son paroxysme à Padadura, où la ligne d&rsquo;arrivée a accueilli le vainqueur dont l&rsquo;identité sera révélée plus tard dans cet article.</p>
<p><strong>Les Défis de la Route</strong><br />
La troisième journée a débuté à Nuwara Eliya, où nous avons laissé les compétiteurs au checkpoint 2. La nuit a vu l&rsquo;arrivée des poursuivants, qui ont exprimé des sentiments mêlés de fatigue extrême et de détermination, face à un dénivelé brutal et des conditions de route difficiles. Les participants ont relaté leurs stratégies pour surmonter les difficultés : micro-siestes et une vigilance accrue face aux dangers naturels tels que les éléphants.</p>
<p><strong>L&rsquo;Ascension vers le petit Pic d&rsquo;Adam</strong><br />
Après Nuwara Eliya, les coureurs ont traversé Ella, une ville appréciée des randonneurs. Le parcours les a menés près du petit Pic d&rsquo;Adam, offrant un cadre spectaculaire mais exigeant, avant de poursuivre vers la réserve de Yala. Axel Carion, l&rsquo;organisateur, a souligné les particularités de ce segment, notant que les ultracyclistes ont dû affronter une montée longue et des conditions météorologiques changeantes.</p>
<p><strong>La bataille pour la première place</strong><br />
La course en tête a été marquée par une lutte serrée entre Guillaume DE SPOELBERCH, Laurianne PLAÇAIS, et Cristian AURIEMMA. Les trois leaders ont échangé leurs positions au fil de la nuit, avec des récits captivants de leurs expériences et tactiques au cours des derniers 100 kilomètres.</p>
<p><strong>Galle: un joyau historique </strong><br />
Le parcours a également frôlé Galle, une ville riche d&rsquo;un héritage colonial et classée au patrimoine mondial de l&rsquo;UNESCO. Malheureusement, les cyclistes n&rsquo;ont pu explorer ses fortifications, car le tracé les a tenus à l&rsquo;écart de la circulation dense, les orientant à travers des routes plus sauvages et pittoresques.</p>
<p><strong>L&rsquo;Arrivée triomphale à Panadura</strong><br />
L&rsquo;arrivée à Panadura a été dramatisée par un violent orage, ajoutant un élément de défi supplémentaire pour les coureurs épuisés. Guillaume DE SPOELBERCH a franchi la ligne en premier, célébrant sa victoire non seulement comme un triomphe sportif mais aussi comme une victoire personnelle contre les rigueurs de l&rsquo;ultracyclisme. Laurianne PLAÇAIS et Cristian AURIEMMA ont complété le podium, chacun partageant des réflexions profondes sur leur voyage à travers le Sri Lanka.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong><br />
Cette troisième journée du BikingMan au Sri Lanka a été une vitrine spectaculaire de l&rsquo;endurance et du courage humains. Alors que certains coureurs célèbrent leur achèvement, d&rsquo;autres se préparent encore à franchir la ligne d&rsquo;arrivée, continuant leur lutte contre le temps et les éléments. La compétition continue, et le récit de ces incroyables aventures humaines se poursuit.</p>

			<h2>Jour 4 sur le BikingMan Sri Lanka</h2>
<p>Nous nous retrouvons pour le quatrième jour du BikingMan au Sri Lanka, un événement clé du Championnat du Monde d&rsquo;ultracyclisme. La compétition continue à Panadura, où bien que la victoire ait été remportée hier par Guillaume de Spouelberg, quarante autres ultracyclistes luttent toujours pour franchir la ligne d&rsquo;arrivée dans les délais impartis de 120 heures.</p>
<p><strong>Le Checkpoint 3 à Tisama Amara</strong><br />
Ce matin, au checkpoint 3 situé à Tisamaharama, les premiers ultracyclistes sont arrivés, marquant une progression significative dans la course. Ces derniers kilomètres ont été particulièrement éprouvants, confrontant les participants à des descentes ardues et des terrains exigeants, à la fois physiquement et psychologiquement.</p>
<p><strong>Les Défis du parcours</strong><br />
Entre le checkpoint 2 de Nuwara Eliya et Tisamaharama, les cyclistes ont affronté des défis de taille, notamment une longue descente sur une piste en terre qui restera gravée dans leur mémoire. Les difficultés techniques et la fatigue accumulée ont testé leur endurance et leur détermination à chaque virage.</p>
<p><strong>Rencontres avec la faune locale</strong><br />
Un des points forts de ce parcours est la traversée du parc national de Yala, où la présence des éléphants constitue à la fois un attrait et un défi. Des mesures de sécurité ont été mises en place pour protéger les participants, créant des interactions mémorables avec ces majestueux animaux.</p>
<p><strong>La bataille pour le Top 10</strong><br />
La lutte pour une place dans le top 10 s&rsquo;est intensifiée, notamment dans les routes étroites du sud du pays. Les cyclistes ont opté pour des stratégies variées, certains choisissant de rouler la nuit pour éviter la chaleur accablante de la journée.</p>
<p><strong>L&rsquo;Arrivée à Panadura</strong><br />
À Panadura, les arrivées nocturnes ont apporté leur lot d&rsquo;émotion et de satisfaction pour les ultracyclistes qui ont terminé leur périple. Les récits de leur voyage, teintés d&rsquo;émerveillement pour la culture locale et les paysages du Sri Lanka, soulignent l&rsquo;esprit unique de cette compétition.</p>

			<h2>Jour 5 sur le BikingMan Sri Lanka</h2>
<p>Bienvenue à tous pour le dernier récapitulatif de l&rsquo;incroyable aventure du Biking Man au Sri Lanka. Après 120 heures d&rsquo;intense compétition, les ultracyclistes ont franchi la ligne d&rsquo;arrivée, mettant fin à une épreuve aussi éprouvante qu&rsquo;exaltante. Nous sommes ici pour vous donner un aperçu de cette cinquième et dernière journée riche en émotions et en rebondissements.</p>
<p><strong>Les Derniers Moments de la Course</strong></p>
<p>La journée a commencé très tôt, ou plutôt très tard selon la perspective, avec l&rsquo;arrivée tant attendue du concourent indien qui a rencontré plusieurs obstacles. Après s&rsquo;être égaré le quatrième jour, les difficultés ont persisté jusqu&rsquo;à l&rsquo;approche de l&rsquo;arrivée, notamment à cause de problèmes techniques et de conditions météorologiques défavorables. Sa persévérance et son récit captivant après la course témoignent de la détermination et de l&rsquo;esprit de cette compétition.</p>
<p><strong>Le Parcours Final</strong></p>
<p>Les cyclistes qui étaient encore en lice durant cette dernière journée se situaient principalement entre le checkpoint 3 et Panadura. Axel Caron, le fondateur de Biking Man, est allé à leur rencontre. Il a souligné les défis du dernier tronçon du parcours, caractérisé par un dédale de routes secondaires et des canaux d&rsquo;irrigation, augmentant la difficulté mentale et physique en raison de la chaleur intense et de l&rsquo;humidité.</p>
<p><strong>Impressions des Ultracyclistes</strong></p>
<p>Le paysage époustouflant et l&rsquo;exubérance de la végétation locale ont été un réconfort pour les participants malgré la fatigue accumulée. Ces derniers kilomètres ont été un véritable test de résilience. Les impressions des cyclistes recueillies reflètent un mélange de fatigue, de satisfaction et d&rsquo;une profonde connexion avec le paysage et la culture du Sri Lanka.</p>

<p>La journée a commencé par un départ neutralisé pendant 40km. Le peloton a roulé groupé jusqu’au pied du col de Tichka 2260m, le plus haut col routier du pays.<br />
Avec la première ascension, les premières positions s’établissent rapidement avec Maxime Prieur en tête qui fixe le rythme, suivi de Laurent Jalabert et Ahmed Nkoub.<br />
Dans le top 10 figure Laurianne, Cristian Auriemma ex-vainqueur du BikingMan X. Au bout d&rsquo;une centaine de kilomètres Laurent Jalabert et Ahmed Nkoub font une erreur de parcours qui leur coute quelques positions. Laurianne passe alors 2ème, avant de céder cette position au tandem belge Mathieu et Guillaume. Laurent Jalabert entame alors une grande remontée. Ahmed quant à lui explose.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Le pointage au CP1 :</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Maxime Prieur 9h28m</li>
<li>Matthieu Carette 09h35m (Pair)</li>
<li>Guillaume De Spoelberch 09h35m (Pair)</li>
<li>Laurent Jalabert 09h51m</li>
<li>Laurianne Placais 09h54m</li>
</ol>
<p>Place désormais à la plus grande portion gravel pour les premiers (60km) après le CP1 pour rejoindre la vallée du Draa. Laurent Jalabert, 2ème, part en chasse de Maxime toujours en tête. Les 2 passent la partie gravel sans encombres avec un vent de dos puissant. La nuit tombe, le CP1 est ouvert jusqu’à 8h00. La tête de course s’apprête à affronter le col redoutable du Tazazert culminant à 2 283m.</p>
<p>À 5h00, le cap des 520 km a été franchi par Laurent Jalabert qui a pris la tête de la course pendant la nuit, poursuivi par Maxime et Laurianne. Tout peut arriver il reste encore de nombreuses difficultés sur le parcours.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="LC20lb MBeuO DKV0Md"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f1ec-1f1e7.png" alt="🇬🇧" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> BikingMan X Morocco &#8211; Day 1</h3>
<p>The day started with a neutralized start for 40km. The peloton rode together to the foot of the Tichka pass 2260m, the highest road pass in the country.<br />
With the first ascent, the first positions are quickly established with Maxime Prieur in the lead who sets the pace, followed by Laurent Jalabert and Ahmed Nkoub.<br />
In the top 10 is Laurianne, Cristian Auriemma, ex-winner of BikingMan Laurianne then moved to 2nd, before ceding this position to the Belgian tandem Mathieu and Guillaume. Laurent Jalabert then begins a major comeback. Ahmed for his part explodes.</p>
<p><strong>The ranking at CP1:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Maxime Prieur 9h28m</li>
<li>Matthieu Carette 09h35m (Even)</li>
<li>Guillaume De Spoelberch 09h35m (Even)</li>
<li>Laurent Jalabert 09h51m</li>
<li>Laurianne Placais 09h54m</li>
</ol>
<p>Now it&rsquo;s time for the largest gravel portion for the first few (60km) after CP1 to reach the Draa valley. Laurent Jalabert, 2nd, chases Maxime who is still in the lead. The two passed the gravel section without incident with a powerful tailwind. Night falls, CP1 is open until 8:00 a.m. The leader of the race is preparing to face the formidable Tazazert pass peaking at 2,283m.</p>
<p>At 5.00 am, the 520 km mark was passed by Laurent Jalabert, who took the lead overnight, followed by Maxime and Laurianne. Anything can happen, and there are still plenty of difficulties on the route.</p>

<p>Au petit matin, les premiers arrivent déjà au Chekpoint 2. Une heure sépare le premier Maxime Prieur, du 2ème Laurent Jalabert, lui-même une heure devant la première femme et 3e au scratch, Laurianne Plaçais.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Le pointage au CP2 :</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Maxime Prieur 19h28m</li>
<li>Laurent Jalabert 20h34m</li>
<li>Laurianne Placais 21h22m</li>
<li>Dimitri Hoebreckx 22h07m</li>
<li>Florent Dumas 22h22m</li>
</ol>
<p>C&rsquo;est alors que la dure loi de l’ultracyclisme frappe. Laurent Jalabert est contraint à l’abandon suite à une casse mécanique au km615 après avoir réalisé un effort spectaculaire depuis le départ. Le champ est libre pour Maxime Prieur qui prend la tête de la course, après avoir longuement bataillé avec l&rsquo;ancien professionnel. Il est désormais suivi par Laurianne Placais et Florent Dumas qui se disputent les 2e et 3e place du podium.</p>
<p>Les premiers devraient atteindre le Chackpoint 3, situé au km 785 en début de soirée. La bataille finale se poursuivra toute la nuit pour atteindre l&rsquo;arrivée de ce BikingMan X Maroc.</p>
<p>Pour les coureurs qui ne se disputent pas le classement c&rsquo;est un mélange d&rsquo;émotions intenses entre les sublimes paysages, la difficulté du parcours et les belles rencontres réalisées sur le parcours. Chacun s&rsquo;accroche à ses motivations les plus profondes pour continuer à avancer et se rapprocher, kilomètre après kilomètre de leur objectif. Pour beaucoup, l&rsquo;arrivée au CP2 est déjà une petite victoire. C&rsquo;est l&rsquo;occasion de se restaurer et se reposer avant de reprendre la route.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="LC20lb MBeuO DKV0Md"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f1ec-1f1e7.png" alt="🇬🇧" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> BikingMan X Morocco &#8211; Day 2</h3>
<p>In the early hours of the morning, the frontrunners were already arriving at Chekpoint 2. An hour separated first-placed Maxime Prieur from second-placed Laurent Jalabert, himself an hour ahead of the first woman and 3rd overall, Laurianne Plaçais.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Checkpoint 2:</strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Maxime Prieur 19h28m</li>
<li>Laurent Jalabert 20h34m</li>
<li>Laurianne Placais 21h22m</li>
<li>Dimitri Hoebreckx 22h07m</li>
<li>Florent Dumas 22h22m18</li>
</ol>
<p>It was then that the hard law of ultracycling struck. Laurent Jalabert was forced to retire after suffering a mechanical breakdown at km615 after a spectacular effort from the start. The field was cleared for Maxime Prieur, who took the lead after a long battle with the former professional. He is now followed by Laurianne Placais and Florent Dumas, who are battling it out for 2nd and 3rd place on the podium.</p>
<p>The frontrunners should reach Chackpoint 3, located at km 785, early this evening. The final battle will continue throughout the night to reach the finish of this BikingMan X Maroc.</p>
<p>For the riders who aren&rsquo;t battling it out for the rankings, it&rsquo;s a mix of intense emotions, with the sublime scenery, the difficulty of the route and the wonderful encounters made along the way. Everyone is clinging to their deepest motivations to keep going and get closer, kilometre after kilometre, to their goal. For many, the arrival at CP2 is already a small victory. It&rsquo;s an opportunity to eat and rest before hitting the road again.</p>

<p>Première journée sur ce bikingman euskadi, un classique comme à chaque fois des départs à bloc comme sur une cyclo, des explosions, des remontées piano.<br />
Les conditions sont idéales avec une trentaine de degrés (10 de moins qu’en 2022), beaucoup de pèlerins du st jacques dans la montée de st jean pied de port, signe que le climat est clément.<br />
Comme à chaque édition, la faune s’invite sur les routes, ce qui n’est pas sans nous rappeler la manche Corse.<br />
Mais outre ces conditions, le vrai défi seront les pourcentages. On peut dire que la course ne débute qu’à St jean pied de port, aussi bien pour les leaders, que pour les challengers et les finishers.<br />
Les pourcentages infâmes des pentes menant au jusqu’au CP1 poussent les concurrents dans leurs retranchements, obligeant certains à poser le pied à terre alors qu’il reste plus de 800km à parcourir.  De leur côté les leaders, les jeux se dévoilent avec la difficulté précoce du parcours, pas de place pour l’intox, c’est la pente qui fait sa sélection naturelle. A ce jeu-là c’est Sébastien Pailly qui tire son épingle du jeu en pointant premier au CP1 à 16h17, suivi de Laurianne Plaçais 30 minutes plus tard et du local de l’épreuve Laurent Garbolino encore 30 minute après.<br />
Petite incertitude concernant le duo de tête avec chacun leurs handicaps, Sebastien Pailly souffre d’un braquet inadapté pour ces pourcentages, à voir comment il évoluera au niveau musculaire et tendineux. Pour Laurianne Plaçais c’est l’incertitude concernant son état de forme après son opération post Bikingman France et sur comment va-t-elle gérer les douleurs à la selle découlant de son opération.<br />
Remi Borrion ex vainqueur du Bikingman France et Aura navigue dans le top 10 sans s’affoler.<br />
Pour les leaders comme pour les challengers la nuit va écrémer les positions et nous allons pouvoir assister aux grand bal des stratégie autour du sommeil.<br />
Demain au menu pour la tête de course un plat de résistance ultra copieux avec de la haute montage avec le point culminant de l’épreuve à près de 2200m.<br />
Pour le reste le CP1 sera le refuge de cette première nuit.</p>

<p>The first day of this bikingman euskadi was a classic, as it is every time, with cyclo-cross starts, explosions and piano lifts.<br />
Conditions were ideal, with temperatures of around thirty degrees (10 degrees cooler than in 2022) and lots of pilgrims on the climb up to St Jean Pied de Port, a sign that the climate was clement.<br />
As with every year, the roads are lined with wildlife, which reminds us of the Corsican round.<br />
But apart from these conditions, the real challenge will be the gradients. It&rsquo;s fair to say that the race doesn&rsquo;t start until St Jean Pied de Port, for the leaders, challengers and finishers alike.<br />
The infamous gradients on the slopes leading up to CP1 push the competitors to their limits, forcing some to put their foot down with over 800km to go. As for the leaders, the early difficulty of the route meant that there was no room for exaggeration: it was the gradient that made the natural selection. Sébastien Pailly came out on top at CP1 at 16:17, followed by Laurianne Plaçais 30 minutes later and local rider Laurent Garbolino another 30 minutes later.<br />
Sebastien Pailly is suffering from a gear ratio that is unsuitable for these gradients, so it remains to be seen how his muscles and tendons will develop. For Laurianne Plaçais, it&rsquo;s a question of uncertainty about her condition.</p>

<p>Une deuxième journée à nouveau placée sous le signe du soleil sur ce Bikingman Euskadi.<br />
Le vent s’est fortement levé autour du CP1 dans la matinée, il était temps pour nos lanternes rouge d’y pointer.<br />
Le soleil et la chaleur, même si nous sommes bien en dessous des températures de l’an dernier, affaibli les organismes occasionnant quelques problèmes médicaux métaboliques (crampes, vomissements et autres réjouissances). 13 abandons au total ce soir à 19h, très souvent pour les mêmes raisons, coup de chaud, fatigue.<br />
Alors que les derniers ont franchi la barre des 300km, les premiers sont déjà repartis du CP2 au KM 620.<br />
La nuit dernière a été riche en enseignements, Sébastien Pailly alors en tête s’est arrêté dormir pour laisser la première place à Laurianne Plaçais arrivée en tête au CP2. Leurs poursuivants se sont arrêtés dormir pour reprendre une bonne cadence 60km derrière notre duo de tête. Duo qui a attaqué les monstres pyrénéens en début d’après midi, un plat de résistance ultra copieux avec un enchainement de 8 cols majeurs de la chaîne des Pyrénées avec pour point culminant le Tourmalet.<br />
Laurianne Plaçais est donc arrivée en première position au CP2, suivie de Sebastien Pailly 45 min derrière. Ce dernier tente la stratégie du « all in » en ne s’arrêtant de 3 min pour repasser devant Laurianne, alors en train de faire une sieste, Laurianne qui est repartie tranquillement quelques minutes derrière après s’être reposée.  A partir du CP2 on commence à calquer sa stratégie sur les autres, soit ça passe, soit ça ne casse pas, ça explose. La nuit va être décisive, qui aura besoin de sommeil ? qui pourra appuyer jusqu’à l’arriver ? quelle sera la meilleur stratégie, ne pas dormir et rouler piano, dormir et envoyer, ou ne pas dormir et envoyer ? « C’est à la fin du marché qu’on compte les bouses » déjà demain matin nous aurons un premier aperçu de la stratégie payante.<br />
L’arrivée des premiers aura lieu entre le début et le milieu d’après midi.<br />
Pour le reste c’est direction CP2, la nuit des race angels va être longue !</p>

<p>The second day of the Bikingman Euskadi was once again a sunny one.<br />
The wind picked up strongly around CP1 in the morning, so it was time for our Red Lanterns to make their move.<br />
The sun and the heat, even if we&rsquo;re well below last year&rsquo;s temperatures, weakened the bodies, causing a few metabolic medical problems (cramps, vomiting and other pleasures). A total of 13 riders dropped out this evening at 7pm, very often for the same reasons: heat exhaustion or fatigue.<br />
While the last riders have passed the 300km mark, the first have already set off again from CP2 at KM 620.<br />
Sébastien Pailly, who was in the lead at the time, stopped to sleep and handed over first place to Laurianne Plaçais, who had arrived in the lead at CP2. Their pursuers stopped to sleep before picking up the pace 60km behind our leading duo. The pair attacked the Pyrenean monsters in the early afternoon, a hearty main course with a series of 8 major passes in the Pyrenees, culminating in the Tourmalet.<br />
Laurianne Plaçais arrived in first place at CP2, followed by Sebastien Pailly 45 minutes behind. Sebastien Pailly tried an « all in » strategy, stopping for just 3 minutes to get back in front of Laurianne, who was taking a nap at the time. Laurianne then set off again quietly a few minutes later after resting. From CP2 onwards, you start to follow the strategy of the others, either you get through, or you don&rsquo;t, you explode. The night is going to be decisive: who will need sleep? who will be able to push all the way to the finish? what will be the best strategy, not to sleep and ride the piano, to sleep and send, or not to sleep and send? « It&rsquo;s at the end of the market that you count the dung », and tomorrow morning we&rsquo;ll have our first glimpse of the strategy that pays off.<br />
The first boats will arrive between early and mid-afternoon.<br />
As for the rest, it&rsquo;s off to CP2 &#8211; it&rsquo;s going to be a long night for the race angels!</p>

<p>Mercredi c’est le jour des enfants mais c’est surtout le jour de l’arrivée des premiers sur ce BikingMan euskadi.<br />
La stratégie de Sébastien Pailly s’est révélée payante, il a réussi à distancer Laurianne Plaçais entre le CP2 et l’arrivée, premier en haut du Tourmalet il ne quittera plus jamais la tête de la course. Il en termine en 55h45 après un super solide finish, digne d’une allure de cyclosportive. De son côté Laurianne signe une magnifique deuxième place et la victoire femmes, elle n’a pas cherché à batailler plus que ça pour la victoire. L’enjeux de sa saison étant le championnat, elle s’est mise hors de portée du 3eme de Laurent Garbolino et a intelligemment géré sa fin de course pour s’entamer le moins possible pour la grande final du X au Maroc. Elle est actuellement largement leader du championnat 2023, fait historique sur le BikingMan.<br />
Le groupe de poursuivant à légèrement éclaté mais ont retrouve les noms que mardi matin, à l’heure actuelle ils sont encore en route mais on devrait retrouver Laurent Garbolino 3eme, Remi Borrion 4ème, Romain Lesueur 5 ème et Valentin Van Overloop 6ème.Le grand bal des arrivées est lancé, ce qui veut dire quarts de 2h de sommeil pour nos Race Angels jusqu’à Vendredi soir. Sergio et Jacques vont pouvoir enchaîner les cafés / glaces grâce à Fastclub et aux Glaces Romane.<br />
Le CP2 lui ne désempli pas et nos lanternes rouges vont attaquer la chaîne des Pyrénées. Place à la nuit à présent la stratégie laisse place à la survie pour rallier la finish line.Encore félicitations aux vainqueurs qui nous ont encore tenu en haleine pendant ces 3 jours.</p>

<p>Wednesday is children&rsquo;s day, but above all it&rsquo;s the day when the first riders finish this BikingMan euskadi.<br />
Sébastien Pailly&rsquo;s strategy paid off, as he managed to pull away from Laurianne Plaçais between CP2 and the finish, and was first at the top of the Tourmalet, where he never relinquished the lead. He finished in 55hrs 45mins after a very solid finish, worthy of a cyclosportive pace. For her part, Laurianne took a magnificent second place and the women&rsquo;s victory, but she didn&rsquo;t try to fight harder than that for the win. With the championship at stake, she put herself beyond the reach of Laurent Garbolino&rsquo;s 3rd place and intelligently managed the end of the race so as to make as little headway as possible towards the grand finale of the X in Morocco. She is currently the clear leader of the 2023 championship, a historic achievement on the BikingMan.<br />
The chasing pack has split up slightly, but the names are not known until Tuesday morning. At the moment, they are still on the road, but we should find Laurent Garbolino 3rd, Remi Borrion 4th, Romain Lesueur 5th and Valentin Van Overloop 6th.<br />
The big arrivals ball has started, which means 2-hour shifts of sleep for our Race Angels until Friday evening. Sergio and Jacques will be able to enjoy one coffee and ice cream after another, thanks to Fastclub and Glaces Romane.<br />
As for CP2, it won&rsquo;t be deserted and our red lanterns will be attacking the Pyrenees chain. It&rsquo;s now night time, and strategy is giving way to survival as we make our way to the finish line.<br />
Congratulations once again to the winners, who have kept us on our toes for the last 3 days.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">La troisième édition du BikingMan AURA se déroule du 7 au 12 août 2023. Cette course d&rsquo;ultracyclisme en autonomie s’élance sur un parcours de 1 000 km à travers. Depuis la Drôme, les participants exploreront le plus vaste stratovolcan d’Europe. La région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes est un spectacle grandiose avec un parcours d’une variété géographique rare. Ils découvriront les cols mythiques du Puy Mary (1589m), du Grand Colombier (1498m) ainsi que la redoutable trilogie de la Chartreuse pour terminer sur le vertigineux massif du Vercors.</span></p>
<h2> Première journée sur le BikingMan AURA</h2>
<p><em>Lundi 07 août 2023, BikingMan France, jour #1</em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Dans la fraîcheur de la nuit et l’excitation avant le départ, ce sont près de 120 participants qui se réunissent sur la ligne de départ à Beaumont les Valence pour la grande aventure du BkingMan AURA 2023. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Dès la première matinée, les coureurs doivent faire face à un parcours très exigeant en Ardèche, avant notamment l&rsquo;ascension du Mont Gerbier de Jonc. Il n’y a pas un mètre de plat sur cette première partie. La difficulté du parcours étire les participants naturellement. La fraîcheur est de mise, mais le vent vient rajouter de la difficulté au parcours.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">À l’avant, Emilien Mottet accélère et distance progressivement un groupe d’une dizaine de poursuivants. Les paysages du Lac de Naussac seront l’occasion d’une pause pour certains, mais certainement pas pour la tête de course qui vise le CP. Les coureurs font leur entrée dans le Cantal sous un soleil qui réchauffe timidement l’air. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Au bout de 9h29 de course, Emilien Mottet arrive au CP1 au km257, à plus de 26 km/h de moyenne. Il garde une avance d’une quinzaine de kilomètres sur Guillaume PEYRONNET, Lorris PASQUIER qui a réduit l’allure dans le vent pour préserver ses genoux, Antoine DUMONT, Jérémie ALLINGER,  Alexandre MEURILLON, Guillaume ESCHARD ou encore Maximilien COUVREUR. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Ce dernier gère sa course pour inscrire un maximum de points dans l’optique de remporter le classement général de la série BikingMan 2023. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">En fin d’après-midi, la tête de course franchit le Pas de Peyrol, sommet le plus haut de cette épreuve.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">À l’arrière, Guillaume PINIER (647) est parti seul et 5 heures après le départ, suite au problème mécanique de son collègue de pair qui a cassé un rayon dès le départ. Elodie DEROOSE est notre lanterne rouge en gérant son effort pour se rapprocher du CP1.</span></p>

<p>The third BikingMan AURA takes place from 7 to 12 August 2023. This self-supported ultra-cycling race sets off on a 1,000 km route across the Drôme. From the Drôme, participants will explore Europe&rsquo;s largest stratovolcano. The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region is a spectacular sight, with a route offering a rare geographical variety. They&rsquo;ll discover the mythical cols of Puy Mary (1589m) and Grand Colombier (1498m), as well as the fearsome Chartreuse trilogy, finishing on the vertiginous Vercors massif.</p>
<h2> First day on the BikingMan AURA</h2>
<p><em>Monday 07 August 2023, BikingMan France, day #1</em></p>
<p>In the cool of the night and the excitement before the start, almost 120 participants gathered at the start line in Beaumont les Valence for the great adventure of the BkingMan AURA 2023.</p>
<p>From the very first morning, the runners have to face a very demanding course in the Ardèche, before climbing Mont Gerbier de Jonc in particular. There&rsquo;s not a metre of flat on this first section. The difficulty of the route naturally stretches the participants. It&rsquo;s cool, but the wind adds to the difficulty of the route.</p>
<p>At the front, Emilien Mottet accelerated and gradually pulled away from a group of around ten chasers. The scenery around Lake Naussac provided an opportunity for some riders to take a break, but certainly not for the leaders, who were aiming for the CP. The riders enter the Cantal under a sun that is timidly warming the air.</p>
<p>After 9 hours 29 minutes of racing, Emilien Mottet reached CP1 at km 257, averaging over 26 kph. He still had a lead of around fifteen kilometres over Guillaume PEYRONNET, Lorris PASQUIER, who reduced his pace in the wind to save his knees, Antoine DUMONT, Jérémie ALLINGER, Alexandre MEURILLON, Guillaume ESCHARD and Maximilien COUVREUR.</p>
<p>The latter managed his race to score as many points as possible with a view to winning the overall classification of the BikingMan 2023 series.</p>
<p>At the end of the afternoon, the race leaders crossed the Pas de Peyrol, the highest peak of the event.</p>
<p>At the rear, Guillaume PINIER (647) set off alone and 5 hours after the start, following a mechanical problem with his peer who broke a spoke at the start. Elodie DEROOSE is our red lantern, managing her effort to get closer to CP1.</p>

			<h2> Deuxième journée sur le BikingMan AURA</h2>
<p><em>Mardi 08 août 2023, BikingMan France, jour #2</em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">En fin de journée, les températures sont redescendues tandis que les concurrents se sont lancés dans la nuit. C’est dans la nuit que Maximilien Couvreur, en tête du championnat BikingMan 2023, est contraint à l’abandon sur problème gastrique. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Emilien MOTTET continue de mener la danse devant un groupe d’une dizaine de concurrents. Dans la fraîcheur du matin, les coureurs ont traversé les Dombes, la seule partie plate du parcours avant le CP2 et un dernier tronçon très vertical. Emilien MOTTET est le premier à atteindre le CP2 en 27h04 soit 24,9km/h de moyenne. Derrière lui, Jérémie ALLINGER a gardé une pression constante tout au long de la nuit pour remonter de la neuvième à la deuxième place. Il a limité ses arrêts pour tenter de rester au contact. Il atteint le CP2 en 29h33, devant Alexandre MEURILLON, Lorris PASQUIER, Antoine DUMONT et Guillaume ESCHARD qui se succèdent en moins de 20 minutes au CP2. La course au podium est donc très dense avant le Col de Portes et le Grand Colombier.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Dans le Grand Colombier, seuls les premiers arrivent à passer les pentes à 24% en restant sur le vélo, plus de 730 km après le départ. Pour la majorité des participants, il faudra marcher pour gravir les kilomètres les plus raides avant le sommet.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">À l’approche de la trilogie de Chartreuse (Col du Granier, Col du Cucheron, Col de Porte) le podium semble se dessiner avec Emilien MOTTET toujours en tête, devant </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Jérémie ALLINGER</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> et Antoine DUMONT. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Lorris PASQUIER</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> et Alexandre MEURILLON complètent le Top 5, mais rien ne garantit que la Chartreuse, puis le Vercors dans la nuit ne viendront pas rebattre les cartes d’ici l’arrivée.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Au CP1, Elodie DEROOSE a eu la persévérance et le courage de rouler dans la nuit pour atteindre le checkpoint. Devant elle, la majeur partie des participants s’étend du Parc Régional des Volcans d’Auvergne en direction aux Dombes. Le premier tiers des participants vise le CP2 aujourd’hui ou dans la nuit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Cette deuxième journée aura été marquée par des écarts de températures très importants avec seulement 2°C au plus haut en altitude aux petites heures, et plus de 25°C au soleil dans l’après-midi. Un grand écart thermique qui vient mettre à rude épreuve des corps fatigués par la difficulté de ce magnifique parcours et par le manque de sommeil.</span></p>

			<h2> Second day on the BikingMan AURA</h2>
<p><em>Tuesday 08 August 2023, BikingMan France, day #2</em></p>
<p>At the end of the day, the temperatures dropped and the competitors set off into the night. It was during the night that Maximilien Couvreur, leading the BikingMan 2023 championship, was forced to retire due to a stomach problem.</p>
<p>Emilien MOTTET continued to lead the way ahead of a group of around ten competitors. In the cool of the morning, the riders crossed the Dombes, the only flat part of the course before CP2 and a very vertical final section. Emilien MOTTET was the first to reach CP2 in 27h04, an average speed of 24.9km/h. Behind him, Jérémie ALLINGER kept up the pressure throughout the night to climb from ninth to second place. He limited his stops to try and stay in touch. He reached CP2 in 29 hours 33 minutes, ahead of Alexandre MEURILLON, Lorris PASQUIER, Antoine DUMONT and Guillaume ESCHARD, all of whom reached CP2 in less than 20 minutes. The race for the podium is therefore very tight before the Col de Portes and the Grand Colombier.</p>
<p>On the Grand Colombier, only the first riders managed to get over the 24% gradient while still on their bikes, more than 730 km after the start. Most of the participants will have to walk to climb the steepest kilometres before the summit.</p>
<p>As we approach the Chartreuse trilogy (Col du Granier, Col du Cucheron, Col de Porte), the podium seems to be taking shape with Emilien MOTTET still in the lead, ahead of Jérémie ALLINGER and Antoine DUMONT. Lorris PASQUIER and Alexandre MEURILLON complete the Top 5, but there&rsquo;s no guarantee that the Chartreuse and then the Vercors in the night won&rsquo;t reshuffle the cards between now and the finish.</p>
<p>At CP1, Elodie DEROOSE had the perseverance and courage to drive through the night to reach the checkpoint. Ahead of her, the bulk of the participants stretched from the Parc Régional des Volcans d&rsquo;Auvergne towards the Dombes. The first third of the participants are aiming for CP2 today or during the night.</p>
<p>This second day will have been marked by huge temperature differences, with only 2°C at the highest altitude in the early hours, and over 25°C in the sun in the afternoon. A huge difference in temperatures that will put a strain on bodies tired by the difficulty of this magnificent route and by the lack of sleep.</p>

			<h2> Troisième journée sur le BikingMan AURA</h2>
<p><em>Mercredi 09 août 2023, BikingMan France, jour #3</em></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">La bataille pour la victoire et le podium a été dense pendant toute la nuit.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Guillaume Peyronnet a très bien géré sa nuit pour gagner 4 places depuis le CP2, pour prendre la 4ème place en 51h47, devant Alexandre Meurillon qui complète le Top 5 en 52h27.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Pendant la nuit, le top 20 avait passé le CP2 et le Grand Colombier pour s’élancer sur ce final très exigeant. À la différence de la tête de course, ces coureurs ont pu pleinement profiter des magnifiques paysages du Vercors et de la vertigineuse Combe Laval. Mais pour atteindre l’arrivée, il faudra arriver au bout de l&rsquo;enchaînement de la montée de Malleval-en-Vercors, le Col de la Machine, avant de finir par le Col des Limouches, pour basculer dans la descente vers l’arrivée à Beaumont lès Valence.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Ce troisième jour est encore marqué par de grands écarts de température avec seulement 13°C dans le Vercors, contre les 32°C du côté de Grenoble. Pour certains, ce fut le jour de trop avec des tendinites aux genoux ou au tendon d’achille, les pentes ne laissant aucun répit pour récupérer. La moindre erreur de braquet peut être fatale sur 19,000m de dénivelé positif.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">La première paire Cédric LE PENNEDU (646) &amp; Guillaume PINIER (647) devrait arriver dans la soirée. Chez les femmes, Emilie Clisson continue sa progression en gérant parfaitement son effort. Elle a déjà effectué 700 km et atteint le CP2 où elle reprend des forces pour le final.</span></p>

			<h2> Third day on the BikingMan AURA</h2>
<p><em>Wednesday 09 August 2023, BikingMan France, day #3</em></p>
<p>The battle for victory and the podium was intense throughout the night. With the ascent of the Chartreuse trilogy in the evening, before setting off at night into the Vercors for a vertiginous crossing, the route promised an explosive finale.</p>
<p>At the end of the 1000km, Emilien Mottet concluded his domination by winning the BikingMan AURA in a record time of 47h37. He finished ahead of Belgium&rsquo;s Antoine Dumont in 50h04, who managed to catch up with Jérémie Allinger, who had been in second place for a long time. Jérémie finished third on the podium, just 11 minutes behind second place.</p>
<p>Guillaume Peyronnet managed his night very well, gaining 4 places since CP2 to take 4th place in 51h47, ahead of Alexandre Meurillon who rounded off the Top 5 in 52h27.</p>
<p>During the night, the top 20 had passed CP2 and the Grand Colombier to set off on this very demanding final. Unlike the frontrunners, these riders were able to take full advantage of the magnificent scenery of the Vercors and the vertiginous Combe Laval. But to reach the finish, they will have to complete the climb up to Malleval-en-Vercors, the Col de la Machine, before finishing on the Col de Limouches, before heading downhill to the finish in Beaumont lès Valence.</p>
<p>This third day was again marked by huge temperature differences, with only 13°C in the Vercors, compared with 32°C in Grenoble. For some, it was one day too many, with tendinitis in the knees or achilles tendon, as the slopes left no respite for recovery. The slightest gearing error can be fatal on an 19,000m climb.</p>
<p>The first pair, Cédric LE PENNEDU (646) &amp; Guillaume PINIER (647), should arrive later this evening. In the women&rsquo;s category, Emilie Clisson continues to make progress, managing her effort perfectly. She has already covered 700 km and reached CP2, where she is building up her strength for the finish.</p>

<p><em>Lundi 26 juin 2023, BikingMan France, jour #1</em></p>
<p>Ce 33ème BikingMan n’échappe pas à la tradition : rendez-vous à 4h30 pour les coureurs, le temps d’avaler un café et de mettre en route les tracker <a href="https://www.owaka.com/">Owaka</a> et c’est le grand départ à 5h en plein centre du Cannet.<br />
Direction les hauteurs de Cannes avec d’entrée de jeu une ascension de 1200m puis direction les féériques gorges du Verdon pour déboucher sur le lac de Sainte Croix.<br />
Les Gorges du verdon marqueront le début des fortes chaleurs du jour avec jusqu’à 35°sur le bitume brulant de ce Bikingman France.<br />
Ensuite les premiers auront enchainé l’arrière-pays Aixois, et le Luberon pour arriver jusqu’au CP1 au pied du Géant de Provence chez Bed and bike.<br />
Côté course un groupe de tête s’est tout de suite détaché avec le hollandais Pieter Aarnoutse qui a mit une grosse pression d’entrée de jeu. Or sur un BikingMan le moindre effort se paie avec des pauses, ce qui a permit à Laurianne Plaçais de prendre la tête de la course.<br />
Maximilien Couvreur l’actuel leader du championnat navigue dans les 5 premières places, entre puissance et gestion intelligente.<br />
La lanterne rouge, le Suisse Christopher Litt attaque tout juste en ce moment les gorges du Verdon soit 200km derrière Laurianne.</p>
<p>Demain la tête de course attaquera la haute montagne avec le Mont Ventoux en hors d’œuvre.</p>

<h2><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f1ec-1f1e7.png" alt="🇬🇧" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> First day on BikingMan France</h2>
<p><em>Monday 26, June 2023, BikingMan France, day #1</em></p>
<p>This 33rd Bikingman is no exception to tradition: runners meet at 4:30 a.m., with time for a coffee and the <a href="https://www.owaka.com/">Owaka</a> tracker, before the big start at 5 a.m. in the center of Le Cannet.<br />
Heading for the heights of Cannes, with a 1200m ascent to start with, then on to the enchanting Verdon gorges and the Sainte Croix lake.<br />
The Gorges du Verdon marked the start of the day&rsquo;s hot weather, with temperatures of up to 35°C on the scorching tarmac of this Bikingman France.<br />
After that, the frontrunners rode through the Aix hinterland and the Luberon to reach CP1 at the foot of the Géant de Provence at Bed and Bike.<br />
As for the race, a leading group immediately broke away, with Dutchman Pieter Aarnoutse putting on a lot of pressure from the outset. However, on a BikingMan, any effort must be paid for with breaks, which allowed Laurianne Plaçais to take the lead.<br />
Maximilien Couvreur, the current championship leader, is in the top 5, between power and intelligent management.<br />
Red lantern, Switzerland&rsquo;s Christopher Litt, is just attacking the Gorges du Verdon, 200km behind Laurianne.</p>
<p>Tomorrow, the race leaders will attack the high mountains, with Mont Ventoux.</p>
<h2><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f1eb-1f1f7.png" alt="🇫🇷" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Première nuit et deuxième journée sur le BikingMan France</h2>
<p><em>Mardi 27 juin 2023, BikingMan France, jour #2</em></p>
<p>Deuxième journée sur ce BikingMan France toujours sous le signe de la chaleur mais avec du vent, avec dès ce matin plus de 70km/h de vent au sommet du Ventoux.<br />
Alors que le CP1 voit les derniers arrivant s’arrêter pour une pause avant de gravir le géant de provence, au Km 732 Laurianne quitte le CP2 après 1h de sommeil et après avoir mis un gros coup de pression aujourd’hui. Elle a notamment commencé à réellement accélérer sur les hauteurs du lac de Serre-Ponçon, creusant l’écart et mettant un gros coup au moral de ses poursuivants. Si à l’avant la situation semble claire, à l’arrière le podium n’est assuré pour personne. En effet Maximilien Couvreur moins à l’aise sur cette partie alpine paie cher ses efforts des manches au Portugal et en Corse. A ses trousses un groupe éclaté de 5 coureurs, prêts à fondre sur lui. A noter tout de même que chacun présentent des pépins physique pouvant être de véritables « game changer » en cas d’aggravation.<br />
Les stratégies du CP2 vont être décisives pour la suite de la course, car la Bonnette arrive juste après le CP2.<br />
Cet après midi, s’il faisait 35° en plaine, il faisait 4° au sommet. Le ciel se charge et des phénomènes orageux pourraient se développer dans la nuit au sud de la Bonnette.</p>

<h2><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f1ec-1f1e7.png" alt="🇬🇧" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> First night and second day on BikingMan France</h2>
<p><em>Tuesday 27, June 2023, BikingMan France, day #2</em></p>
<p>Day two of this BikingMan France is still hot but windy, with winds of over 70km/h at the summit of the Ventoux this morning.<br />
While CP1 saw the last arrivals stop for a break before climbing the Giant of Provence, at Km 732 Laurianne left CP2 after 1 hour&rsquo;s sleep and having put on a lot of pressure today. In particular, she really started to accelerate on the heights of Lac de Serre-Ponçon, widening the gap and putting a big dent in the morale of her pursuers. While the situation at the front seems clear-cut, at the back the podium is not assured for anyone. Maximilien Couvreur, less at ease on this Alpine section, is paying dearly for his efforts in Portugal and Corsica. On his heels is a splinter group of 5 riders, ready to pounce on him. It&rsquo;s worth noting, however, that each of them has a physical problem that could be a real « game changer » if the situation worsens.<br />
The strategies of CP2 will be decisive for the rest of the race, as La Bonnette arrives just after CP2.<br />
This afternoon, while it was 35° on the plains, it was 4° at the summit. The sky is getting heavier, and thunderstorms could develop during the night south of the Bonnette.</p>

<h2><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f1eb-1f1f7.png" alt="🇫🇷" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Deuxième nuit et troisième journée sur le BikingMan Corsica</h2>
<p><em>Mercredi 28 juin 2023, BikingMan France, jour #3</em></p>
<p>Encore une arrivée historique sur BikingMan.<br />
Encore une fois c’est Laurianne Plaçais qui nous fait vibrer en franchissant la ligne d’arrivée de ce BikingMan France en première position, reléguant le deuxième, Maximilien Couvreur à plus de 6h en 52h12, soit 5h25 plus rapide que le vainqueur de l’édition 2022 avec le même parcours.<br />
Arrivée au CP2 au milieu du col de Vars avec une avance confortable de 50km, Laurianne en a profité pour se reposer pendant 1h jouant la carte de la sécurité sur sa stratégie. Elle repartira dans Vars tandis qu’1h30 plus tard Maximilien Couvreur arrivera au CP2 pour n’y rester qu’à peine 10 min, bien décidé à foncer sur Laurianne et aussi à mettre la pression sur ses poursuivants. Sans surprise la Bonnette sera le juge de paie de cette édition. Laurianne l’aborde en gestion tandis que Maximilien essaye de revenir sur elle, leur écart ne sera plus que de 8km quand Laurianne passera au sommet. « Fraîche » après sa pause au CP2, elle s’engage dans la descente. Maximilien va payer sa tentative avec une pause forcée 3 heures pour dormir sur le bord de la route.</p>
<p>A l’arrière, la lutte pour le podium fait rage et c’est le jeu des chaises musicales pendant les 268 derniers km depuis le CP2.<br />
Au petit matin Laurianne comptera plus de 100km d’avance sur Maximilien, exactement le même scénario que pendant la manche du X 2022. Pour rappel, Nicolas Faure était revenu à moins de 10min de Laurianne au CP2, et elle avait réussi à creuser le même écart au petit matin. Maximilien a su rester combatif, alors que Nicolas Faure avait complètement craqué et laissé filer le podium.<br />
La victoire de Laurianne avait d’ailleurs suscité de vives émotions au sein de la communauté de l’ultradistance mal habituée à voir des femmes aux avant-postes.<br />
Avec cette nouvelle victoire, Laurianne confirme de nouveau son statut d’athlète de haut niveau en ultradistance.<br />
De son côté Maximilien nous démontre avec cette 2ème place qu’il est possible d’enchainer les Bikingman et de performer sans sacrifier le niveau de ses performances au fil des épreuves.<br />
Nous assistons à des leçons magistrales de gestion qui vont au-delà de la course car c’est bien l’issu de la saison qui est en jeu.<br />
Noel Barreca complète le podium et le top 10 a désormais franchi la ligne d’arrivée.<br />
A l’arrière de la course, le CP2 ne désempli pas et fait office de véritable « shelter » pour les coureurs qui devront ensuite affronter les cols difficiles pour rejoindre l’arrivée.<br />
Il faut croiser les doigts pour que les coureurs soient épargnés par les phénomènes météo qui s’installent sur la région.</p>

<h2><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f1ec-1f1e7.png" alt="🇬🇧" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Second night and third day on the BikingMan France</h2>
<p><em>Wednesday 28, June 2023, BikingMan France, day 3</em></p>
<p>Another historic BikingMan finish.<br />
Once again, it was Laurianne Plaçais who thrilled us by crossing the finish line of this BikingMan France in first place, relegating the runner-up, Maximilien Couvreur, to over 6h in 52h12, i.e. 5h25 faster than the winner of the 2022 edition with the same course.<br />
Arriving at CP2 in the middle of the Col de Vars with a comfortable lead of 50km, Laurianne took the opportunity to rest for 1h, playing it safe with her strategy. She set off again into Vars, while 1h30 later Maximilien Couvreur arrived at CP2, where he stayed for just 10 minutes, determined to get the better of Laurianne and also to put pressure on the chasing pack. Unsurprisingly, the Bonnette will be the judge of this year&rsquo;s race. Laurianne tackled it in a managed fashion, while Maximilien tried to catch up, and by the time Laurianne reached the summit, the gap had shrunk to just 8km. « Fresh from her break at CP2, she sets off downhill. Maximilien will pay for his attempt with a 3-hour forced break to sleep on the side of the road.</p>
<p>At the rear, the battle for the podium rages on, and it&rsquo;s a game of musical chairs for the last 268km from CP2.<br />
In the early hours of the morning, Laurianne had a lead of over 100km over Maximilien, exactly the same scenario as during the X 2022 round. As a reminder, Nicolas Faure had come back to within 10min of Laurianne at CP2, and she had managed to open up the same gap in the early hours of the morning. Maximilien kept up his fighting spirit, while Nicolas Faure completely cracked and let the podium slip away.<br />
Laurianne&rsquo;s victory aroused strong emotions in the ultradistance community, unaccustomed to seeing women at the front.<br />
With this latest victory, Laurianne once again confirms her status as a top ultradistance athlete.<br />
As for Maximilien, 2nd place proves that it&rsquo;s possible to do Bikingman after Bikingman without sacrificing performance levels.<br />
We&rsquo;re witnessing masterly lessons in management that go beyond the race, because it&rsquo;s the outcome of the season that&rsquo;s at stake.<br />
Noel Barreca completes the podium and the top 10 has now crossed the finish line.<br />
At the back of the race, CP2 was never empty, acting as a shelter for the riders who would then have to tackle the difficult passes to reach the finish.<br />
Fingers crossed that the racers will be spared the weather phenomena that are settling over the region.</p>

<p><em>Jeudi 29 et vendredi 30 juin 2023, BikingMan France, jour #4 et #5</em></p>
<p>Le quatrième jour de course a révélé l’autre visage des Alpes avec des orages ponctuels qui ont mis à rude épreuve, le mental des ultracyclistes en route pour la ligne d’arrivée. Le checkpoint 2 a fermé hier après-midi avec 108 participants qui sont parvenus au col de Vars. L’enchaînement final de la Couillole, de Buis et du col de Bleine réserve de belles surprises pour les jambes fatiguées des <a class="c-link" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/bikingwomen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/bikingwomen/" data-sk="tooltip_parent">#bikingWomen</a> et <a class="c-link" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/bikingmen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/bikingmen/" data-sk="tooltip_parent">#bikingmen</a>.<br />
L’intensification des orages sur la fin de parcours ne vient pas entacher ce bouquet final.<br />
La finish line reste bien au sec et le bal des arrivées bat son plein, un concentré d’émotions pour ces finishers qui passent entre 2 et 3 jours de plus sur le vélo que la tête de course. Les stratégies de certains auront été payantes pour slalomer entre les gouttes. La meilleure solution était de stopper la journée d’hier autour de Valberg en fin d’après midi puis de repartir à minuit.<br />
Nous avons ainsi pu assister à l’émouvante arrivée de Jean-François Daniel, malentendant qui à retrouvé son ami contraint à l’abandon hier.<br />
Cédric Bonnefoy, notre mascotte de cette édition arrive également dans l’après midi, le sourire au lèvres, comme au départ, comme au CP1 comme au CP2.<br />
Sur le village c’est ambiance woodstock, les finishers du jours, de la vielle et de mercredi se regroupent autour de bières Pietra et de Glaces Romane (merci Georges Aka le Bananier). Rock’ N Roll, torses nus et éclats de rires, on se croirait à l’été 69 sur la côte Est américaine.<br />
Dans quelques minutes commencera la soirée des finishers tandis que Gabriel Martin, notre Lanterne rouge devrait arriver dans la nuit juste avant le cut off. Le Cannet va retrouver sa sérénité légendaire après cette semaine rythmée par les allers et venues de fous roulants. Une édition qui coche toutes les cases d’un sans-faute, grâce en très grande partie à l’accueil, la bienveillance, de la municipalité et des habitants du Cannet mais également grâce à la sécurité et à l’attention toute particulière que les force de l’ordre ont pu avoir vis-à-vis de l’organisation, des participants et de leur matériel. 120h of love, peace and bicycle.</p>

<p><em>Friday 30, June 2023, BikingMan France, day 5</em></p>
<p>The fourth day of the race revealed the other side of the Alps, with occasional thunderstorms that severely tested the spirits of the ultracyclists en route to the finish line. Checkpoint 2 closed yesterday afternoon with 108 participants reaching the Col de Vars. The final stretch of La Couillole, Buis and the Col de Bleine holds some surprises for the tired legs of #bikingWomen and #bikingmen.<br />
The intensifying thunderstorms at the end of the course do nothing to mar this final bouquet.<br />
The finish line remained dry and the finishers&rsquo; ball was in full swing, a concentration of emotions for these finishers who spent between 2 and 3 days longer on the bike than the race leaders. The strategies of some riders paid off as they slalomed between the drops. The best solution was to stop yesterday&rsquo;s race around Valberg in the late afternoon, then set off again at midnight.<br />
We were thus able to witness the moving arrival of Jean-François Daniel, a hearing-impaired man who was reunited with his friend who had been forced to abandon yesterday.<br />
Cédric Bonnefoy, our mascot for this edition, also arrived in the afternoon, smiling as he had at the start, CP1 and CP2.<br />
There&rsquo;s a woodstock atmosphere in the village, as finishers from today, tomorrow and Wednesday gather around Pietra beers and Glaces Romane (thanks to Georges Aka le Bananier). Rock &lsquo;N Roll, bare chests and laughter, it&rsquo;s like the summer of &rsquo;69 on the American East Coast.</p>
<p>In a few minutes, the finishers&rsquo; evening will begin, while Gabriel Martin, our Red Lantern, should arrive in the night just before the cut-off. Le Cannet is about to regain its legendary serenity after a week punctuated by the comings and goings of crazy drivers. This year&rsquo;s event ticked all the right boxes, thanks in no small part to the welcome and benevolence of the municipality and the people of Le Cannet, but also to the security and special attention paid by the police to the organization, participants and their equipment. 120h of love, peace and bicycle.</p>

<p><em>Lundi 29 mai 2023, BikingMan Corsica, jour #1</em></p>
<p>5h du matin, camping San Damiano à Biguglia, la cloche résonne et les vagues de départ s&rsquo;enchaînent pour permettre aux 171 athlètes présents de vivre l’aventure de cette 6e édition du BikingMan Corsica, 2e rdv de la saison après l’étape Portugaise qui s’est déroulée début mai.</p>
<p>Au programme, 1000 km et 18000 m de dénivelé positif autour de l’île de Beauté avec un 1er checkpoint basé à Porto-Vecchio après 400 km et 8000m de dénivelé à travers le Parc Naturel Régional au Sud de Bastia. « Vous allez prendre cher » pour rappeler les mots d’Axel durant le briefing. En résumé, c’est la portion la plus difficile du parcours et il faudra « gérer » : col de Bigorno, col de St Antoine, col de St-Christophe, col d’Arcarota, col de San Gavine… un échauffement pour aborder l&rsquo;enchaînement des cols de Verde, de la Vaccia et de Bavella avant une longue descente parfois dangereuse pour rejoindre la côte Ouest de l’île et le CP1.</p>
<p>Si le temps au départ est magnifique, il va très rapidement devenir hostile avant midi et réserver quelques orages aux participants.</p>
<p>Côté course, ça part encore très vite devant. Le duo composé de Germain Omnes (#276) et de Louis Rostren (#277) passe en tête devant d’église Saint Michel de Murato au KM48. Mais comme sur chaque BikingMan, les positions du début bougent énormément et rien n’est écrit à ce stade de la compétition.</p>
<p>Au km100, ce qui représente seulement 10% de la course, on retrouve Vincent Cockenpot (#117) en tête, suivi de Romain Bezot(#105) et Florent Dumas (#135). Certains coureurs ont déjà effectué les premières pauses café et le ravitaillement aux fontaines devient un passage obligatoire avec la chaleur.</p>
<p>Les premiers contrecoups se font sentir comme pour Harley Glegg (#150) qui souffre de problèmes gastriques et rencontre des difficultés à s’alimenter, une erreur de parcours pour Thibaut Remy (#213) ou Lucas Delcourt (#126) qui casse ses vis de pédalier. Les 10h de course sonnent également le début des abandons : douleur au genou pour Vaccarino Simone (#222) et casse de vélo pour Stéphane Chabanne (#224). Ce dernier joue d’un tour de malchance sur l’île car il avait déjà cassé son vélo l’an dernier, la veille du départ, et Origine cycles lui avait permis de faire la course en lui prêtant un vélo d’exposition.</p>
<p>Côté féminine, Julie Langlois (#170) navigue dans le top 15, loin devant Anouk Ulrich (#229) annoncée en favorite mais qui remonte petit à petit suite à un départ prudent comme elle l’avait prédit.</p>
<p>A 20h, on retrouve toujours Vincent Cockenpot (#117) en tête puis Yoan Dercourt (2nd du BikingMan AURA en 2022) et Etienne Paillard (#197) à une cinquantaine de kilomètre du CP1. Un peu plus loin, Romain Bezot (#105), Florent Dumas (#135) Sylvain Uhrweiller (#228), le local de l’étape Anthony Duriani (#139) et Maximilien Couvreur (#121) qui va constater, à l’approche de la nuit s’il a bien récupéré du BikingMan Portugal.</p>
<p>A noter les bonnes positions de Gautier Paulin (#199) et Nicolas Henard (#158), anciens athlètes de haut-niveau respectivement en motocross et voile.</p>
<p>De nombreux athlètes sont déjà arrêtés pour la nuit, pour les autres elle va commencer et les lignes vont certainement bouger à l’issue de celle-ci.</p>

<h2><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f1ec-1f1e7.png" alt="🇬🇧" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> First day on BikingMan Corsica</h2>
<p><em>Monday 29, May 2023, BikingMan Corsica, day #1</em></p>
<p>5 a.m., San Damiano campsite in Biguglia, the bell rings and the starting waves follow one another to allow the 171 athletes present to experience the adventure of this 6th edition of the BikingMan Corsica, 2nd meeting of the season after the Portuguese stage which took place at the beginning of May.</p>
<p>On the program, 1000 km and 18000 m of elevation gain around the Island of Beauty with a first checkpoint based in Porto-Vecchio after 400 km and 8000 m of elevation gain through the Regional Natural Park south of Bastia. « You&rsquo;re going to be expensive » to recall Axel&rsquo;s words during the briefing. In summary, this is the most difficult portion of the route and you will have to « manage »: Col de Bigorno, Col de St Antoine, Col de St-Christophe, Col d&rsquo;Arcarota, Col de San Gavine&#8230; a warm-up to tackle the sequence of the Verde, Vaccia and Bavella passes before a long, sometimes dangerous descent to reach the west coast of the island and CP1.</p>
<p>If the weather at the start is magnificent, it will very quickly become hostile before noon and reserve a few storms for the participants.</p>
<p>On the race side, things still start very quickly in front. The duo composed of Germain Omnes (#276) and Louis Rostren (#277) took the lead in front of the Saint Michel de Murato church at KM48. But as with every BikingMan, the starting positions change a lot and nothing is written at this stage of the competition.</p>
<p>At km100, which represents only 10% of the race, we find Vincent Cockenpot (#117) in the lead, followed by Romain Bezot (#105) and Florent Dumas (#135). Some runners have already taken their first coffee breaks and refueling at the fountains becomes a must with the heat.</p>
<p>The first repercussions are felt as for Harley Glegg (#150) who suffers from gastric problems and has difficulty eating, a mistake along the way for Thibaut Remy (#213) or Lucas Delcourt (#126) who breaks his screws of pedalboard. The 10h race also marked the start of retirements: knee pain for Vaccarino Simone (#222) and broken bike for Stéphane Chabanne (#224). The latter plays a trick of bad luck on the island because he had already broken his bike last year, the day before departure, and Origine cycles had allowed him to race by lending him an exhibition bike.</p>
<p>On the women&rsquo;s side, Julie Langlois (#170) sails in the top 15, far ahead of Anouk Ulrich (#229) announced as the favorite but who is gradually rising following a cautious start as she had predicted.</p>
<p>At 8 p.m., we still find Vincent Cockenpot (#117) in the lead then Yoan Dercourt (2nd in the BikingMan AURA in 2022) and Etienne Paillard (#197) about fifty kilometers from CP1. A little further on, Romain Bezot (#105), Florent Dumas (#135) Sylvain Uhrweiller (#228), stage local Anthony Duriani (#139) and Maximilien Couvreur (#121) who will see, at the night is approaching if he has recovered well from BikingMan Portugal.</p>
<p>Gautier Paulin (#199) and Nicolas Henard (#158), former top-level athletes in motocross and sailing respectively, were also well placed.</p>
<p>Many athletes have already stopped for the night, for the others it will start and the lines will certainly move at the end of it.</p>

<p><em>Mardi 30 mai 2023, BikingMan Corsica, jour #2</em></p>
<p>Pour la tête de course, les arrivées se sont enchaînées au CP1 à Porto-vecchio au camping l’oso.<br />
Vincent Cockenpot (#117) pointe le premier après 16h07 de course puis 15 ‘ plus tard Yoan Dercourt (#127) Suivrons Romain Bezot (#105), Florent Dumas (#135), Etienne Paillard (#197) et Maximilien Couvreur (#121) dans un laps de temps de 43’.<br />
Pas moins de 35 concurrents auront franchi le CP1 en moins de 24h de course (à 5h du matin)<br />
Pour la seconde moitié du peloton, le col de Verde après Ghisoni ou les aiguilles de Bavella se profilent avant de rejoindre le CP1, qui rappelons le ferme à 5h du matin mercredi.</p>
<p>La météo est de nouveau bonne après une nuit sèche pour la tête de course, des températures assez clémentes (13° / 14°) mais un ressenti assez frais avec les orages de la journée et les organismes éprouvés. Quelques averses orageuses vont venir s&rsquo;inviter dans la journée.</p>
<p>Cette seconde portion entre Porto-Vecchio (CP1) et Porto (CP2) peux paraitre plus digeste mais il n’en est rien : 269 km pour 5600 m de dénivelé positif. Le Col de l’Ospedale est un des bijoux de ce parcours, la route qui longe le barrage également. Un paysage dont la tête de course ne profitera pas, passant de nuit. Ils traverseront ensuite l’Alta Rocca et son village typique, Sainte-Lucie de Tallano pour rejoindre Sartene puis le golf de Valinco par le Belvédère Campomoro. La côte Ouest s’offre à eux mais ne laissera pas de répit : le route du littoral entre Propriano et Porticcio est une succession de montée et descente usante mais magnifique ! La traversée d’Ajaccio, malgré le contournement astucieux du parcours, peut être rendue difficile par la circulation. Le Col de Sarzoggio rapportera du calme avant de rejoindre la route fréquentée en direction de Piana et de ses calanques, classées au patrimoine mondial. Le restaurant de la Cigale à Porto signe l’emplacement du CP2.</p>
<p>Profitant d’un temps de repos de Vincent Cockenpot (#117), Yoan Dercourt (#127) prend la tête de la course et ne la quittera plus, passant le CP2 à 10h17 avec une belle avance sur la performance de Stéphane Lombart l’an dernier. Les passages s’échelonnent : Vincent Cockenpot, qui ne comprends pas comment Yoan fait sans dormir, Florent Dumas, Etienne paillard qui a souffert de la chaleur dans les calanques, Romain Bezot, Louis Defaut, auteur d’une belle remontée depuis le CP1, sous une belle averse, Maximilien Couvreur, Anthony Duriani, Antoine Bourgoin pour le top 10.</p>
<p>La première féminine, Anouck Ulrich (#229) conforme à ses prévisions, prends la 12e place. Elle profite néanmoins du confort matelas / couverture offert sur le checkpoint. Julie Langlois (#170), après une belle première nuit de sommeil montre une très belle remontée aux portes du top20. De quoi relancer le débat sur l’importance du sommeil pour performer sur le vélo…</p>
<p>Cette seconde journée marquera la fin de l’aventure pour une dizaine ultracyclistes, contraints à l’abandon comme Eudine Cotte qui découvre les joies des douleurs de selle, malgré une condition physique encore très bonne. Parmi les autres causes, on retrouve les douleurs aux genoux pour Benoir Peeters, Sullyvan Badet, Gérard Le Bolloch, Gérard Rançon…</p>
<p>La lanterne rouge du jour, Vincent Drain, finisher du BikingMan Euskadi en 2022, a subi les aléas d’une triple crevaison qui lui a coûté ses 3 chambres à air de secours, les rustines ne suffisant plus, il a pris un taxi pour faire un détour vers Corte, réparer et revenir sur la trace.</p>
<p>A 20h, seulement 5 athlètes n’ont pas encore rejoint le CP1 mais reste encore 9h avant sa fermeture. Yoan Delcourt et Vincent Cockenpot sont déjà dans le Cap Corse. La majorité du peloton est morcelé entre ces 2 checkpoints.</p>
<p>Cette seconde nuit va certainement sceller le sort du top 10, les premiers devraient rejoindre le point d’arrivée au camping San Damiano à Biguglia aux alentours de 2h du matin.</p>

<h2><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f1ec-1f1e7.png" alt="🇬🇧" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> First night and second day on the BikingMan Corsica</h2>
<p><em>Tuesday 30, May 2023, BikingMan Corsica, day #2</em></p>
<p>For the race leaders, the finishes followed each other at CP1 in Porto-vecchio at the Camping l&rsquo;Oso.<br />
Vincent Cockenpot (#117) was first after 16:07, then 15&prime; later Yoan Dercourt (#127), followed by Romain Bezot (#105), Florent Dumas (#135), Etienne Paillard (#197) and Maximilien Couvreur (#121) in a time of 43&prime;.<br />
No fewer than 35 competitors crossed CP1 in less than 24 hours of racing (at 5 a.m.).<br />
For the second half of the peloton, the Col de Verde after Ghisoni or the Aiguilles de Bavella loom large before reaching CP1, which closes at 5am on Wednesday morning.</p>
<p>The weather is once again good, after a dry night for the frontrunners, with fairly clement temperatures (13° / 14°) but a cooler feeling due to the day&rsquo;s thunderstorms and the strain on the bodies. A few thundery showers were to follow during the day.</p>
<p>This second section between Porto-Vecchio (CP1) and Porto (CP2) may seem easier to digest, but it&rsquo;s nothing of the sort: 269 km and 5600 m of ascent. The Col de l&rsquo;Ospedale is one of the jewels of this route, as is the road that runs alongside the dam. A landscape that the frontrunners won&rsquo;t be able to enjoy, as they&rsquo;ll be passing through at night. They then cross the Alta Rocca and its typical village, Sainte-Lucie de Tallano to reach Sartene and then the Golf de Valinco via the Campomoro Belvedere. The west coast offers no respite: the coastal road between Propriano and Porticcio is a succession of exhausting but magnificent climbs and descents! The crossing of Ajaccio, despite the route&rsquo;s clever by-pass, can be made difficult by traffic. The Col de Sarzoggio brings back some calm before joining the busy road to Piana and its calanques, a World Heritage site. The Cigale restaurant in Porto marks the location of CP2.</p>
<p>Taking advantage of a rest from Vincent Cockenpot (#117), Yoan Dercourt (#127) took the lead and never relinquished it, passing CP2 at 10:17 a.m., well ahead of Stéphane Lombart&rsquo;s performance last year. The passages staggered: Vincent Cockenpot, who can&rsquo;t understand how Yoan manages without sleeping, Florent Dumas, Etienne Paillard, who suffered from the heat in the calanques, Romain Bezot, Louis Defaut, who made a fine comeback from CP1 under a fine downpour, Maximilien Couvreur, Anthony Duriani, Antoine Bourgoin for the top 10.</p>
<p>The first woman, Anouck Ulrich (#229), as expected, took 12th place. She nevertheless took advantage of the comfortable mattress/blanket offered at the checkpoint. Julie Langlois (#170), after a good first night&rsquo;s sleep, climbed back into the top 20. It&rsquo;s enough to reopen the debate on the importance of sleep for performance on the bike&#8230;</p>
<p>This second day marked the end of the adventure for a dozen ultracyclists, who were forced to retire, like Eudine Cotte who discovered the joys of saddle soreness, despite still being in very good physical condition. Other causes included knee pain for Benoir Peeters, Sullyvan Badet, Gérard Le Bolloch, Gérard Rançon&#8230;</p>
<p>The red lantern of the day, Vincent Drain, finisher of the BikingMan Euskadi in 2022, suffered the hazards of a triple puncture that cost him his 3 spare inner tubes. As the patches were no longer sufficient, he took a taxi to make a diversion to Corte, repair and return to the track.</p>
<p>At 8pm, only 5 athletes had not yet reached CP1, but there was still 9 hours to go before it closed. Yoan Delcourt and Vincent Cockenpot are already in Cap Corse. Most of the pack is split between these 2 checkpoints.</p>
<p>This second night will certainly seal the fate of the top 10, with the frontrunners expected to reach the finish at the San Damiano campsite in Biguglia around 2am.</p>
<h2><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f1eb-1f1f7.png" alt="🇫🇷" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Deuxième nuit et troisième journée sur le BikingMan Corsica</h2>
<p><em>Mercredi 31 mai 2023, BikingMan Corsica, jour #3</em></p>
<p>Sans surprise, Yoan Dercourt va conserver la tête de course et franchir la finishline au bout de 44h42 d’effort, très heureux que de sa préparation ait payé : une belle revanche sur sa 2nd place sur l’étape d’AURA en 2022 !<br />
Un peu plus loin derrière, pour sa première expérience d’ultra distance, Vincent Cockenpot doit composer avec une douleur au genou mais il conservera sa seconde place au terme d’une course très bien gérée. Florent Dumas vient compléter le podium, à sa grande surprise, après une première journée de course compliquée par des troubles digestifs et des sensations assez mauvaises… preuve que la patience est une clé pour réussir en longue distance.<br />
La dernière portion du parcours, longue de 333km pour 5350 m de dénivelé positif est certainement la plus digeste. En quittant Porto, les aventuriers font avoir un point de vue exceptionnel sur le Golf de Girolata et la Réserve Naturelle de Scandola. La Balagne va dévoiler ses trésors avec la sublime ancienne route de Calvi, qui restera dans les esprits de tous pour la qualité de son revêtement. Le col de Bataille étant fermé pour travaux, l’itinéraire permettra aux cyclistes de découvrir les paysages sauvages de la Balagne pour rejoindre Novella. Le désert des Agriates et le Cap Corse seront les derniers « gros morceaux » à aborder avant de rejoindre l’arrivée.</p>
<p>La météo va encore compliquer la progression des coureurs avec de violents orages sur le parcours (St Florent, Ajaccio, Calvi, Calanque de Piana…)<br />
A Porto, devant le restaurant La Cigale, au CP2, les passages continuent de s’enchaîner. La paire Fille/père composée d’Alain Broglia et Julia Sajous le rejoigne à 8H30. Marceau Rosteng le plus jeune de l’épreuve Corse à 20h16.</p>
<p>À Biguglia, les arrivées s’échelonnent derrière le TOP3 : Louis Defaut vient chercher la médaille en chocolat en 50h56 ; Etienne Paillard après une nuit difficile en 52h13 ; Romain Bezot, le réunionnais venu faire le tour d’autre île en 53h07 ; Maximilien Couvreur, qui a souffert de l’enchainement avec le BikingMan Portugal quelques semaine plus tôt venu chercher une revanche sur sa 2nd place de 2022 en 53h30 ; Antoine Chevrieux en 54h14 ; Anthony Duriani, le local de l’étape très ému d’en finir après ses abandons en 2021 et 2022 en 55h17. Il connait le parcours comme sa poche, ce qui n’est pas forcément un avantage ; Quentin Guignard, le trafic manager de chez Origine Cycles vient compléter le TOP 10 au terme d’une très belle course en 57h15.<br />
Dans l’ensemble, tous s’accordent pour dire qu’ils ont énormément souffert dans le Cap Corse et ne s’attendaient pas à une telle difficulté. Le vent favorable au retour sera un grand soulagement pour tous. La fatigue aura été un combat pour beaucoup.<br />
On aura une pensée pour Sylvain Uhrweiller, victime d’une chute à Nonza, à 130 km de l’arrivée, pris en charge par les pompiers, genou ouvert et casque explosé.<br />
La première féminine, Anouk Ulrich, vient confirmer son bon résultat du BikingMan Euskadi 2022 en venant chercher la 11e place en 57h45. La seconde féminine, Julie Langlois, termine en 62h39 à la 24e position. Un excellent chrono pour une première expérience en ultracyclisme.</p>
<p>À 21h, ils sont 27 à avoir franchi la ligne d’arrivée. 38 coureurs n’ont pas encore franchi le CP2 qui rappelons le ferme à 13h jeudi.<br />
Les 2 lanternes rouges, Lili Suhendar, l’Indonésien et Serge Vidali ferment la marche aux alentours du 550e kilomètre.</p>

<h2><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f1ec-1f1e7.png" alt="🇬🇧" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Second night and third day on the BikingMan Corsica</h2>
<p><em>Wednesday 31, May 2023, BikingMan Corsica, day 3</em></p>
<p>Unsurprisingly, Yoan Dercourt held on to the lead and crossed the finishline after 44 hours and 42 minutes of effort, very happy that all his preparation had paid off: a fine revenge for his 2nd place on the AURA stage in 2022!<br />
A little further back, for his first ultra-distance experience, Vincent Cockenpot had to deal with knee pain, but retained second place after a very well managed race. Florent Dumas rounded off the podium, much to his surprise, after a first day of racing complicated by digestive problems and poor sensations&#8230; proof that patience is the key to success in long-distance racing.<br />
The final stretch of the course, 333km long and with 5350m of positive ascent, is certainly the easiest to digest. Leaving Porto, adventurers will have an exceptional view of the Gulf of Girolata and the Scandola Nature Reserve. Balagne will reveal its treasures with the sublime old Calvi road, which will be remembered by all for the quality of its surface. With the Col de Bataille closed for roadworks, the route will allow cyclists to discover the wild landscapes of Balagne on the way to Novella. The Agriates desert and Cap Corse will be the last « big chunks » to be tackled before reaching the finish.</p>
<p>The weather will further complicate the runners&rsquo; progress, with violent thunderstorms along the route (St Florent, Ajaccio, Calvi, Calanque de Piana&#8230;).<br />
In Porto, in front of the restaurant La Cigale, at CP2, the passages continue to follow one another. The daughter/father pair of Alain Broglia and Julia Sajous join him at 8.30 am. Marceau Rosteng, the youngest in the Corsica event, at 20:16.</p>
<p>In Biguglia, the finishes were staggered behind the TOP3: Louis Defaut picked up the chocolate medal in 50:56; Etienne Paillard after a difficult night in 52:13; Romain Bezot, the Reunionese who came to tour another island in 53:07; Maximilien Couvreur, who had suffered from the link-up with the BikingMan Portugal a few weeks earlier, came to seek revenge for his 2nd place in 2022 in 53:30; Antoine Chevrieux in 54:14; Anthony Duriani, the local of the stage, very moved to finish after his withdrawals in 2021 and 2022 in 55:17. He knows the course like the back of his hand, which is not necessarily an advantage; Quentin Guignard, the traffic manager from Origine Cycles, rounded off the TOP 10 after a very fine race in 57h15.<br />
All in all, everyone agreed that they had suffered enormously in Cap Corse and had not expected such difficulty. The favorable wind on the return leg was a great relief for all. Fatigue will have been a struggle for many.<br />
Our thoughts are with Sylvain Uhrweiller, victim of a fall in Nonza, 130 km from the finish, who was taken care of by the fire department with an open knee and a blown helmet.<br />
The first woman, Anouk Ulrich, confirmed her good result from the BikingMan Euskadi 2022, coming in 11th place in 57 hours 45 minutes. The second woman, Julie Langlois, finished in 24th place in 62:39. An excellent time for a first ultracycling experience.</p>
<p>By 9pm, 27 riders had crossed the finish line. 38 riders have yet to cross CP2, which closes at 1pm on Thursday.<br />
The 2 red lanterns, Indonesia&rsquo;s Lili Suhendar and Serge Vidali, close the gap at around 550 km.</p>

<p><em>Jeudi 1 juin 2023, BikingMan Corsica, jour #4</em></p>
<p>Mercredi soir, arrivée du duo Tony Boisblet et Philippe Rocher au CP2. Le tandem avait terminé le BikingMan France en 2022 dont on peut retrouver le reportage diffusé par Sport en France sur notre chaine Youtube. Tony est non voyant et a eu la très bonne surprise d’être accueilli par sa mère et sa famille. Ils sont repartis sur la route ce jeudi matin pour parcourir les 333 derniers kilomètres. Ils feront une pause à St Florent en fin de journée.</p>
<p>A Biguglia, les arrivées continuent. La première paire composée de Matthieu Lalague et Jerome Lesgourgues termine à la 28e et 29e place en moins de 64h.<br />
Un peu plus tard, dans la nuit, c’est le duo mixte Julia Sajous et Jean-Michel Agut en 68h05. Un autre duo mixte, Alain Broglia et Sophie Williams une aventure partagée en famille en père et fille, va passer la ligne d’arrivée dans la journée au bout de 81h35. Pour Alain, c’est le 3e Bikingman. Pour Sophie c’est une première expérience en ultradistance mais elle avait déjà une approche du longue distance en triathlon avec plusieurs Embruman et Full Ironman à son actif. Parcourir un BikingMan en duo permet de retrouver des liens privilégiés et de vivre des émotions rares.<br />
Le soleil brille sur le Cap Corse mais du côté de Porto et du desert des Agriates, les orages continuent d’éclater et ne facilitent pas les choses aux cyclistes encore en course. Néanmoins, la lanterne rouge, Serge vidali passe le CP2, 1h30 avant sa fermeture.</p>
<p>L’ambiance sur la ligne d’arrivée est de plus en plus chaleureuse, les finishers sont de plus en plus nombreux à venir accueillir les participants :<br />
Benoit Monteil, 46e en 77h29 termine son 5e BikingMan.<br />
Nicolas Henard, double champion olympique, pour son premier BikingMan, franchit la ligne en 78h55.<br />
Samir Lazrak, un des initiateurs du BikingMan X au Maroc, vient également chercher son tee-shirt et sa médaille, après son abandon sur le BikingMan Euskadi en 2022.</p>
<p>Les arrivées, pleines d’émotions, vont continuer tout au long de la journée et de la nuit.</p>

<p><em>Thursday 1st, June 2023, BikingMan Corsica, day 4</em></p>
<p>On Wednesday evening, the duo of Tony Boisblet and Philippe Rocher arrived at CP2. The tandem finished the BikingMan France in 2022, and you can watch the report broadcast by Sport en France on our Youtube channel. Tony is blind and was pleasantly surprised to be welcomed by his mother and her family. They hit the road again on Thursday morning to cover the final 333 kilometres. They will stop off in St Florent at the end of the day.</p>
<p>In Biguglia, the arrivals continue. The first pair, Matthieu Lalague and Jerome Lesgourgues, finished in 28th and 29th place in less than 64 hours.<br />
A little later in the night, it was the mixed duo of Julia Sajous and Jean-Michel Agut in 68:05. Another mixed duo, Alain Broglia and Sophie Williams, a family adventure shared by father and daughter, crossed the finish line later in the day in 81h35. For Alain, it was the 3rd Bikingman. For Sophie, it was her first experience of ultradistance, but she already had an approach to long-distance triathlon with several Embrumans and Full Ironmans to her credit. Doing a BikingMan as a duo allows you to rediscover special bonds and experience rare emotions.<br />
The sun is shining on Cap Corse, but in Porto and the Agriates desert, thunderstorms continue to break out, not making things any easier for the cyclists still in the race. Nevertheless, the red lantern, Serge vidali, passed CP2 1h30 before it closed.</p>
<p>The atmosphere at the finish line was getting warmer and warmer, with more and more finishers coming to welcome the participants:<br />
Benoit Monteil, 46th in 77h29, finished his 5th BikingMan.<br />
Nicolas Henard, double Olympic champion, crossed the line in 78hrs 55mins for his first BikingMan.<br />
Samir Lazrak, one of the initiators of BikingMan X in Morocco, also came to collect his T-shirt and medal, after retiring from BikingMan Euskadi in 2022.</p>
<p>The emotional finishes will continue throughout the day and night.</p>

<p><em>Vendredi 2 juin 2023, BikingMan Corsica, jour #5</em></p>
<p>Ce dernier jour de course est le théâtre d’arrivées chargées d’émotions, partagées en famille, avec les Race Angels et les finishers. L’ambiance est très chaleureuse.<br />
Comme pour Etienne Chignard qui termine son 5e Bikingman, après l’Euskadi et le France en 2022, le Portugal et Aura en 2021. Ou pour Loic Lastennet, en short et maillot de foot, seul concurrent à avoir participer à toutes les éditions du BikingMan Corsica.<br />
A 12h30, retenti un tonnerre d’applaudissement à l’arrivée, très émouvante, du Tandem Tony Boisblet et Philippe Rocher, au bout de lui-même. « Une leçon de vie » comme le résume la maman de Tony : un sentiment ressenti par toutes les personnes présentes.<br />
Pour le couple Véronique et Bruno Le Chaudellec, venus spécialement de Nouvelle Calédonie, les émotions sont elles aussi bien visibles.<br />
Pour nos 2 lanternes rouges, Serge Vidali et Lili Suhendar, il faut encore composer avec les forts orages et les crevaisons. Une solidarité s’installe entre les 2 « concurrents » quand Serge offre à Lili sa dernière chambre à air pour lui permettre de terminer la course. Ce ne sera, hélas, pas la dernière crevaison de ce dernier, qui terminera les 3 derniers kilomètres pour arriver sous les coups de 2h du matin, soit 3h avant les 120h réglementaires.<br />
Serge, de son côté, achève son aventure durant le repas lors la soirée des finishers, heureux d’en finir en 5 jours comme il l’avait prévu. Cette soirée d’achève sur une longue ovation en l’honneur des Race Angels, piliers de la bonne réussite de l’épreuve avant que chacun ne reprenne le cours de la vie « normale », après cette parenthèse hors du temps.</p>
<p>Cette 31e édition d’achève. Une édition qui aura offert aux participants toute la dualité de la Corse et certainement les pires conditions météorologiques parmi les 6 éditions : orages ponctuels très forts, difficilement prévisibles et grosse chaleur. Parmi les 22 abandons, certains y sont liés.<br />
L’étape Corse devient un rendez-vous incontournable : explorer le territoire, ses trésors et faire le tour de l’île est une motivation pour de nombreux participants qui viennent chercher ici une aventure unique.</p>
<p>Au classement de l’étape, on retrouve Yoan Dercourt en première position chez les hommes, Anouck Ulrich, chez les femmes (11e au général) et le duo Matthieu Lalague / Jerome Lesgourgues. A noter qu’ils ont tous déjà vétérans et avaient déjà vécu une expérience sur BikingMan.<br />
Au niveau du classement général, à l’issue de cette seconde épreuve, seul Maxilien Couvreur remplit les conditions en ayant participé à 2 courses. Il est donc logiquement leader de la World Series avec 438 points.</p>
<p>Rendez-vous au Cannet le 26 juin prochain pour le BikingMan France !</p>

<h2><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f1ec-1f1e7.png" alt="🇬🇧" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Last day on the BikingMan Corsica</h2>
<p><em>Friday 2nd, June 2023, BikingMan Corsica, day 5</em></p>
<p>This last day of the race is the scene of emotional finishes, shared with families, Race Angels and finishers. The atmosphere was very warm.<br />
Like Etienne Chignard, who finishes his 5th Bikingman, after Euskadi and France in 2022, Portugal and Aura in 2021. Or for Loic Lastennet, in shorts and a football shirt, the only competitor to have taken part in every edition of the BikingMan Corsica.<br />
At 12.30 pm, there was a thunderous round of applause as the tandem of Tony Boisblet and Philippe Rocher reached the finish line, a very emotional moment. Tony&rsquo;s mum summed it up as « a lesson in life », a sentiment felt by everyone present.<br />
For Véronique and Bruno Le Chaudellec, who had come specially from New Caledonia, the emotions were also clearly visible.<br />
Our 2 red lanterns, Serge Vidali and Lili Suhendar, still had to deal with heavy storms and punctures. A feeling of solidarity developed between the 2 « competitors » when Serge offered Lili his last inner tube to enable her to finish the race. Unfortunately, this was not to be Lili&rsquo;s last puncture, as he finished the last 3 kilometres, arriving at 2am, 3 hours before the 120-hour time limit.<br />
Serge, for his part, finished his adventure during the meal at the finishers&rsquo; evening, happy to have finished in 5 days as he had planned. The evening ended with a long ovation in honour of the Race Angels, who were key to the success of the event, before everyone returned to their &lsquo;normal&rsquo; lives after this timeless interlude.</p>
<p>This 31st edition is drawing to a close. It&rsquo;s an event that has offered participants all the duality of Corsica and certainly the worst weather conditions of the 6 editions: very strong, unpredictable thunderstorms and extreme heat. Some of the 22 withdrawals were linked to these conditions.<br />
The Corsica stage has become a not-to-be-missed event: exploring the region, its treasures and touring the island is what motivates many participants, who come here in search of a unique adventure.</p>
<p>In the stage rankings, we find Yoan Dercourt in first place in the men&rsquo;s category, Anouck Ulrich in the women&rsquo;s category (11th overall) and the Matthieu Lalague / Jerome Lesgourgues duo. It&rsquo;s worth noting that they&rsquo;re all veterans with previous experience of BikingMan.<br />
In terms of the overall classification, at the end of this second event, only Maxilien Couvreur fulfilled the conditions by having taken part in 2 races. He is therefore the logical World Series leader with 438 points.</p>
<p>See you in Le Cannet on 26 June for the BikingMan France!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dès le départ, le peloton s’est étiré avec des écarts plus importants que d’habitude. La tête de course est partie très vite et rapidement une centaine de kilomètres séparaient la tête de l’arrière de la course.</p>
<p>Sur le papier l’étape du Portugal est celle avec le moins de dénivelé.</p>
<p>Certains ont pris le départ en pensant que ce serait l’étape la plus simple du calendrier, la plus roulante. Erreur.</p>
<p>Ce BikingMan Portugal est une succession de pétards avec des ascensions raides et des descentes avec vent de tournant ainsi qu’un revêtement en mauvais état. Ce n’est pas la manche la plus verticale mais surement la plus usante.</p>
<p>Les coureurs viennent de découvrir le vent portugais qui use les organismes. A ce vent, il a fallu ajouter la chaleur accablante. Alors que la plupart des coureurs sortent de l’hiver, la transition avec les 40°C d’aujourd’hui aura été violente.</p>
<p>Huit litres d’eau pour Maximilien entre le départ et le CP1. L’eau est une denrée rare car le pays souffre d’une sécheresse importante avec la plupart des lacs à sec.</p>
<p>Des températures encore plus importantes sont attendues demain dans les terres.</p>
<p>Côté course, on assiste à deux stratégies différentes:</p>
<p>D’un côté la stratégie « cyclosport » : ceux qui sont partis à bloc avec 28km/h de moyenne sur 280km et 4000m de D+.</p>
<p>Même si tous avaient le sourire au checkpoint 1 (CP1), nous avons pu déceler certains éléments métaboliques qui ne trompent pas, notamment la transpiration sur les maillots.</p>
<p>Tandis que Sébastien Bouchet avait le maillot maculé de sel, Benoit Merchez et Laurianne Plaçais semblent avoir gérer leur effort pour limiter la transpiration sur cette première journée.</p>
<p>A travers ces signaux ainsi qu’avec les attitudes sur le vélo, nous pouvons nous risquer à dire que certains sont partis à fond, soit pour prendre l’ascendant psychologique, soit pour tenir la tête et ne pas prendre trop d’écart.</p>
<p>Nous avons pu le constater avec Jean Guérin qui commence à payer ses effort jusqu’au CP1, Sébastien Bouchet et Maxime Prieur (qui doit commencer à questionner ses choix de matériel, notamment niveau braquet car il n’à qu’une plaque de 52 dents et pas de petit plateau sur son vélo de chrono).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Plus en retrait, nous pouvons voir Rémi Borrion, Benoit Merchez, Laurianne Plaçais, Philippe Coussy et Thomas Dupin qui attendent sagement avec leur carabine que la concurrence commence à tituber devant.</p>
<p>Laurianne vient (cela devient une tradition ;-)) perturber ces messieurs. Reste à savoir si d’avoir une femme parmi le top 10 leur met le doute, la pression, ou s’ils la considèrent comme une adversaire comme un autre.</p>
<p>On se souvient de Clément Clisson qui était assez confiant sur Euskadi jusqu’au moment où il a vu le nom de Laurianne sur la start-list.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>En tête, Sébastien Bouchet et Maxime Prieur se livrent une bataille engagée.</p>
<p>Est-ce de l’intox ou assistons-nous à une joute qui va les pousser à s’arrêter dormir ?</p>
<p>Dans le cas où ils gardent un tel rythme jusqu’au bout de la course, ce sera une performance incroyable, mais comme disait Eddy Merckx: « La course n’est pas finie tant qu’elle n’est pas terminée ».</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nous attaquons la nuit, le « money time » de ce premier jour.</p>
<p>Qui arrivera à pédaler sans se reposer ou qui au contraire sera contraint de s’arrêter dormir ?</p>
<p>C’est demain matin que nous constaterons quelle stratégie a été payante : l’attaque ou la gestion.</p>
<p>Les KM à venir s’annoncent difficiles car les possibilités de se ravitailler sont limitées avec la nuit qui arrive.</p>
<p>Après le CP2, la zone est déserte. En plus du physique, il va falloir être très malin et surtout très prévoyant pour arriver à trouver le carburant nécessaire et ne pas tomber en panne sèche au milieu de nulle part. L&rsquo;accès aux ravitos au Portugal fait parti des défis de la course.</p>
<p>Demain, le programme s’annonce solide avec la région désertique de l’Alentejo et de fortes chaleurs pour la tête de la course, ce sera un véritable « game changer ».<br />
Cette seconde partie de la course devrait être une journée ventée et chaude sur la côte, passant par le point le plus à l’ouest de l’Europe: Sagres.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Restez connectés sur nos réseaux pour ne pas manquer la suite de cette course qui s’annonce très excitante.</p>

<h2><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f1ec-1f1e7.png" alt="🇬🇧" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> First day at BikingMan Portugal</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From the start, the peloton stretched out with larger gaps than usual. The lead group went very fast and quickly a hundred km separated the lead from the rear of the race.</p>
<p>On paper, the stage in Portugal is the one with the least difference in altitude.</p>
<p>Some riders went to the start thinking that it would be the easiest stage of the calendar, the most rolling. Not so.</p>
<p>This BikingMan Portugal is a succession of bangers with steep climbs and windy descents and a poor surface. It&rsquo;s not the most vertical round but surely the most tiring.</p>
<p>The riders have just discovered the Portuguese wind, which wears out their bodies. To this wind, we had to add the scorching heat. While most of the riders are coming out of winter, the transition to the 40°C of today was violent.</p>
<p>Eight litres of water for Maximilien between the start and CP1. Water is a rare commodity as the country is suffering from a severe drought with most of the lakes dry.</p>
<p>Even higher temperatures are expected tomorrow inland.</p>
<p>On the race side, there are two different strategies.</p>
<p>On the one hand, the « cyclosport » strategy: those who started at 28km/h average speed over 280km and 4000m of D+.</p>
<p>Even if all of them were smiling at CP1, we could detect some metabolic elements that don&rsquo;t deceive, notably the sweat on the jerseys.</p>
<p>While Sébastien Bouchet had his jersey stained with salt, Benoit Merchez and Laurianne Plaçais seemed to have managed their effort to limit the perspiration on this first day.</p>
<p>From these signals and from the attitudes on the bike, we can say that some of them have started at full speed, either to take the psychological lead, or to hold the lead and not to get too much of a gap.</p>
<p>We have seen this with Jean Guérin who starts to pay for his efforts until CP1, Sébastien Bouchet and Maxime Prieur (who must start to question his choice of material, especially concerning the gearing because he only has a 52 teeth plate and no small chainring on his time trial bike).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Further back, we can see Rémi Borrion, Benoit Merchez, Laurianne Plaçais, Philippe Coussy and Thomas Dupin who are wisely waiting with their rifles for the competition to start staggering in front.</p>
<p>Laurianne moreover who as usual comes to disturb these gentlemen. It remains to be seen whether having a woman in the top 10 puts them in doubt, puts pressure on them, or whether they consider her as an opponent like any other.</p>
<p>We remember Clément Clisson who was quite confident in Euskadi until he saw Laurianne&rsquo;s name on the start list.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the lead, Sébastien Bouchet and Maxime Prieur are engaged in a battle.</p>
<p>Is this a hoax or are we witnessing a joust that will push them to stop sleeping?</p>
<p>If they keep such a rhythm until the end of the race, they will have to stop.</p>

<p><em>Mardi 2 mai 2023, BikingMan Portugal, jour #2</em></p>
<p>La première nuit a creusé les écarts à tous les niveaux de la course. Sébastien Bouchet tient son rythme et fait cavalier seul à l’avant de la course. Au petit matin, il arrive au CP2 situé au km 664 après 24h37 de course. Le rythme est alors de 27 km/h de moyenne, arrêts inclus.</p>
<p>À la seconde place, c’est désormais Laurianne Plaçais qui est remontée, après un départ beaucoup plus prudent. La vice-championne du BikingMan 2022 gère parfaitement son effort et prend position pour le podium. Derrière elle, Rémi Borrion, Maxime Prieur et Thomas Dupin se livrent bataille pour rester au contact de la tête de course.</p>
<p>Parmi les faits de course, on regrette l’abandon de Denis Morino qui a chuté dans la section gravel avant le CP1 et qui s’est fracturé le poignet. C’est la fin de l’aventure portugaise pour son duo constitué avec Fabrice Hupel.</p>
<p>Au CP1, les arrivées se succèdent toute la nuit, avec des coureurs bien heureux de pouvoir s’abriter du vent redoutable de Sagres. Ils ont pu profiter d’un court réconfort et d’un plat chaud avant un repos bien mérité. Puis, il est déjà l’heure de repartir à la lueur des lampes frontales en direction du Nord, vers Vila Viçosa.</p>
<p>À l’arrière de la course, on gère son effort pour arriver avant la fermeture du CP1 à 14h. Marco Locatelli (bib 46) et Olivier Smets (bib 60) y abandonnent la course, épuisés. Tous les autres participants encore en course auront réussi à tenir le délai et à reprendre la route vers le Nord du pays.</p>
<p>En milieu de journée, la tête de course atteint le km800 en redescendant vers le Sud du pays. Sébastien Bouchet dispose d’une avance confortable sur ses trois poursuivants Rémi Borrion, Maxime Prieur et Laurianne Plaçais.</p>
<p>Les challengers, entre le 10ème et la 20ème positions arrivent les uns après les autres au CP2. Certains font une sieste, d&rsquo;autres prennent un repas rapide, mais tous ont besoin de s&rsquo;hydrater abondamment et refaire le plein d’eau pour affronter la suite de la journée.</p>
<p>Pour cette deuxième après-midi de course, la chaleur monte fortement dans l’Alentejo avec 37°C au compteur. Les athlètes qui ont été trop généreux dans l’effort pourraient le payer très cher. Les températures élevées mettent tous les organismes à la limite, que ce soit à l’avant de la course ou à l’arrière.</p>
<p>La chaleur a raison de Sébastien Bouchet qui ne s’est pas ménagé depuis le départ. Le coureur de tête fait un coup de chaud et un petit malaise. Le rythme effréné qu’il a imposé et les conditions climatiques ont fini par entamer ses limites physiques. Il arrive tout de même à remonter sur sa selle après s&rsquo;être reposé au frais une heure, pour tenter de conserver sa faible avance sur les 200 derniers kilomètres. Rémi Borrion, en 2ème position, peut encore viser la victoire, tout comme Maxime Prieur 3ème et Laurianne Plaçais 4ème. Tout se joue sur la gestion de la fatigue et de la chaleur.</p>
<p>Mickael Juignet (bib 38), dans le Top 10 après 680 km de course, fait une erreur de parcours, tandis qu’à l’arrière Xavier Juignet (bib 39) se résout à abandonner après avoir passé le CP1.</p>
<p>À l’avant, les kilomètres défilent et les positions se figent. Sébastien Bouchet montre une incroyable résistance malgré les efforts de Rémi Borrion (2e) qui le talonne. Maxime Prieur et Laurianne Plaçais bataillent pour aller chercher la troisième place du podium. Les dernières grandes difficultés entre les km900 et 950 devraient être le juge de paix.</p>
<p>Derrière le quatuor de tête, à une quarantaine de kilomètres, on retrouve trois concurrents Mickael Houtteville (bib 48), Thomas Dupin (bib 24) et Benoît Merchez (bib 47) qui ont des allures proches. Les monts à l’approche de Faro devraient les départager pour compléter le Top 5 du classement de ce BikingMan Portugal.</p>
<p>Les premières arrivées sont attendues dans la soirée, à Faro, après 1005 km d’effort en luttant avec le vent, le relief et la chaleur.</p>

<p><em>Tuesday 2 May 2023, BikingMan Portugal, day 2</em></p>
<p>The first night widened the gaps at all levels of the race. Sébastien Bouchet kept his pace and rode alone at the front of the race. In the early morning, he arrived at CP2 located at km 664 after 24 hours and 37 minutes of racing. The average speed was 27 km/h, including stops.</p>
<p>In second place, it was Laurianne Plaçais who was back in the race, after a much more careful start. The BikingMan 2022 runner-up managed her effort perfectly and took her place on the podium. Behind her, Rémi Borrion, Maxime Prieur and Thomas Dupin are fighting to stay in contact with the lead.</p>
<p>Among the race facts, we regret the withdrawal of Denis Morino who crashed in the gravel section before CP1 and broke his wrist. This is the end of the Portuguese adventure for his duo formed with Fabrice Hupel.</p>
<p>At CP1, the finishers followed each other all night long, with the riders very happy to be able to shelter from the famous Sagres wind. They were able to enjoy a short comfort and a hot meal before a well deserved rest. Then, it was already time to set off again by the light of the headlamps towards the North, towards Vila Viçosa.</p>
<p>At the back of the race, we manage our effort to arrive before the closing of CP1 at 2pm. Marco Locatelli (bib 46) and Olivier Smets (bib 60) abandon the race, exhausted. All the other participants still in the race managed to keep the deadline and to get back on the road to the North of the country.</p>
<p>In the middle of the day, the head of the race reaches km 800 on the way back to the South of the country. Sébastien Bouchet who has a comfortable lead over his three chasers Rémi Borrion, Maxime Prieur and Laurianne Plaçais.</p>
<p>The challengers, between 10th and 20th position, arrive one after the other at CP2. Some take a nap, others have a quick meal, but all of them need to hydrate and refill their water tanks to face the rest of the day.</p>
<p>On this second afternoon of the race, the heat rises sharply in the Alentejo with 37°C on the clock. Athletes who have been too generous in their efforts could pay dearly. The high temperatures put all the organisms at the limit, whether at the front of the race or at the back.</p>
<p>Sébastien Bouchet, who has been working hard since the start, has been beaten by the heat. The lead rider gets a hot spell and feels a bit sick. The frantic pace he set and the weather conditions finally took their toll on his physical limits. He managed to get back on his saddle to try to keep his small lead over the last 200 km. Rémi Borrion, in 2nd position, can still aim for the victory, as well as Maxime Prieur 3rd and Laurianne Plaçais 4th. Everything will depend on the management of the fatigue and the heat.</p>

<p><em>Mercredi 3 mai 2023, BikingMan Portugal, jour #3</em></p>
<p>La nuit de mardi à mercredi fut riche avec l’arrivée victorieuse de Sébastien Bouchet qui a géré toute la fin du parcours suite à un coup de chaud survenu à un peu plus de 200km de la « finish-line ». Le peloton des challengers Rémi Borrion, Maxime Prieur, Laurianne Plaçais s’est étiré, chacun adoptant des stratégies différentes pour avancer malgré la chaleur accablante, le vent et cette succession de côtes dures menant vers l’algarve.</p>
<p>Rémi Borrion, 2ème aura eu beau s’employer il n’aura pas réussi à rentrer sur Sébastien Bouchet qui était pourtant devenu une proie facile. Maxime Prieur vient compléter le podium, une superbe 3ème place même si il espérait, la vieille du départ, qu’il ferait tomber le record de l’épreuve avec son vélo de contre la montre.</p>
<p>Côté féminin, Laurianne Plaçais, comme à son habitude, vient semer la pagaille dans le classement hommes et se classe 4ème à quelques minutes de la tête de course. Comme sur les autres manches l’an passé, elle remporte haut la main le classement femmes.</p>
<p>Les arrivées s’enchainent à présent à rythme régulier sur la finish line en plein cœur de Faro, l&rsquo;une des plus belle ligne d’arrivée du championnat, au cœur de la vieille ville. Il faut souligner pour cela l’indéfectible soutien de la municipalité de Faro: « in BikingMan we trust ».</p>
<p>Dans la journée, nous aurons assisté notamment à l’arrivée de la première paire composée de Cédric Sachet &amp; Gwenaël Pageau.</p>
<p>Dans la série galère, Maximilien Couvreur arrivera avec un beau détour de 110km et Jean Guérin, qui avait littéralement dynamité le début de course, arrivera une douzaine d’heures après le vainqueur.</p>
<p>Ce mercredi est ponctué par un balai d’arrivées qui durera jusqu’à vendredi, mais les concurrents sont encore très nombreux entre le CP2 et l’arrivée à souffrir dans ce désert cabossé jusqu’à Faro. Les possibilités de ravitaillements sont rares et la chaleur est toujours aussi accablante.</p>
<p>Le mode survie est activé pour la plupart des rouleurs nocturnes, tandis que d’autres vont profiter pleinement de ces dernières heures de course pour contempler des paysages hors du commun et aller à la rencontre des Portugais sur ce dernier tronçon avec les nombreuses cités fortifiées telles que Monsaraz.</p>
<p>Actuellement 5 coureurs sont encore attendus au CP2, il leur restera 2 jours pour boucler les 340km jusqu’à l’arrivée.</p>

<p><em>Wednesday May 3rd 2023, BikingMan Portugal, day 3</em></p>
<p>Tuesday night was rich with the victorious finish of Sébastien Bouchet who managed the whole of the final part of the race after a heat stroke a little more than 200km from the finish line. The peloton of the challengers Rémi Borrion, Maxime Prieur, Laurianne Plaçais was stretched out, each one adopting different strategies to advance despite the overwhelming heat, the wind and this succession of indigestible climbs leading to the Algarve.</p>
<p>Rémi Borrion, 2nd, had to work hard to catch Sébastien Bouchet, who had become an easy prey. Maxime Prieur completes the podium, a superb 3rd place even if the day before the start he had announced that he would break the record of the event with his time trial bike.</p>
<p>On the women&rsquo;s side Laurianne Plaçais as usual comes and makes a mess of the men&rsquo;s classification and finishes 4th a few minutes behind the leader, as in the other rounds last year she wins the women&rsquo;s classification hands down.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The finish line in the heart of Faro, the most beautiful finish line of the championship, in the heart of the old town, is now a regular rhythm, and we must underline the unfailing support of the municipality, « in bikingman we trust ».</p>
<p>During the day we saw the arrival of the first pair of Cédric Sachet &amp; Gwenaël Pageau</p>
<p>Maximilien Couvreur arrived with a nice diversions of 110km and Jean Guérin, who had literally dynamited the beginning of the race, arrived a dozen hours after the winner.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This Wednesday is punctuated by a sweep of arrivals that will last until Friday, but the competitors are still very numerous between CP2 and the finish to suffer in this bumpy desert until Faro. The possibilities to refuel are rare and the heat is still overwhelming.</p>
<p>The survival mode has been activated for most of the night riders, whereas others will take full advantage of these last hours of the race to contemplate the extraordinary landscapes and to meet the Portuguese on this last section.</p>
<p>Currently 5 riders are still expected at CP2, they will have 2 days left to complete the 340km to the finish.</p>

<p><em>Jeudi 4 mai 2023, BikingMan Portugal, jour #4</em></p>
<p>Ce quatrième jour sur le BikingMan Portugal ne fait pas exception: si sur Faro un vent parfois frais nécessite le port d’un petit pull à l’ombre, entre le CP2 et l’arrivée, c’est toujours la même combinaison canicule et vent. Ce vent qui vous assèche la bouche dès que vous devez respirer en plein effort; la subtilité est qu’il n’y a pas d’eau non plus !</p>
<p>Si les premiers ont souffert et ont poussé les machines très fort, l’heure est à l’exploration pour les derniers sur ce tronçon. Sur un BikingMan, on a hâte que ça se termine, mais on est tellement bien sur la route qu’on prolongerait bien ces instants suspendus, hors de notre confort habituel. C’est ce que viennent chercher les finishers: l’expérience, le défi, la découverte de ses limites.</p>
<p>Les vétérans comme Bruno Pallierne, Cyril Oulmi et Justin Hug (qui a au passage disputé l’épreuve avec le même maillot que l’an passé lors de son crash malheureux) arrivent au compte goutte. Tous trouvent cette fin de parcours encore plus difficile car l’Algarve et ces dénivelés surprennent tout le monde dans ce final, mais tous avouent que dans ce sens cette partie du circuit est superbe.</p>
<p>Le podium des équipes est désormais complet et la nouvelle lanterne rouge  Zenobia De Jongh est à 200km de l&rsquo;arrivée. L&rsquo;excellente nouvelle de cette édition 2023 est que tous devraient finir dans les délais et être de la fête à la soirée de clôture vendredi soir.</p>
<p>Demain marquera la grande fête de la ligne d’arrivée avec tous les finishers là pour applaudir les derniers arrivants.</p>

<p><em>Thursday May 4th 2023, BikingMan Portugal, day #4</em></p>
<p>This fourth day on the BikingMan Portugal is no exception: if in Faro a sometimes fresh wind requires the wearing of a small sweater in the shade, between CP2 and the finish, it is always the same heat wave and wind combination. This wind that dries your mouth as soon as you have to breathe in full effort; the subtlety is that there is no water either!</p>
<p>If the first suffered and pushed the machines very hard, it&rsquo;s time to explore for the last on this section. On a BikingMan, we can&rsquo;t wait for it to end, but we&rsquo;re so good on the road that we would extend these suspended moments, out of our usual comfort. This is what finishers are looking for: the experience, the challenge, the discovery of one&rsquo;s limits.</p>
<p>Veterans like Bruno Pallierne, Cyril Oulmi and Justin Hug (who also competed in the event with the same jersey as last year when he crashed) are trickling in. Everyone finds this end of the course even more difficult because the Algarve and these elevations surprise everyone in this final, but everyone admits that in this sense this part of the circuit is superb.</p>
<p>The teams&rsquo; podium is now complete and the new red lantern Zenobia De Jongh is 200km from the finish. The excellent news for this 2023 edition is that everyone should finish on time and be part of the closing party on Friday evening.</p>
<p>Tomorrow will mark the big party at the finish line with all the finishers there to applaud the latest arrivals.</p>

<p><em>Vendredi 5 mai 2023, BikingMan Portugal, jour #5</em></p>
<p>C&rsquo;est l&rsquo;ultime jour de compétition avec les lanternes rouges qui dévorent les kilomètres tels des fins gourmets. Même si la difficulté est bien présente, ce sont ceux qui profitent sans doute le plus de l&rsquo;expérience d&rsquo;exploration des 200 derniers kilomètres traversant l&rsquo;Alentejo et l&rsquo;Algarve. Entre les villes fortifiées, les champs de chênes lièges et d&rsquo;eucalyptus et les villages blancs typiques portugais, certains en profitent pour s&rsquo;immerger dans l&rsquo;atmosphère et la convivialité portugaise en se ravitaillant dans les bars des villages.</p>
<p>Après une matinée calme sur le village d&rsquo;arrivée, les derniers finishers rejoignent leur « port d&rsquo;attache »&lsquo; sur Faro pour recevoir les ovations des finishers qui les attendent patiemment. La Pietra est fraiche et elle attend chacun d&rsquo;entre eux pour un moment de convivialité bien mérité sur la ligne d&rsquo;arrivée.</p>
<p>A 20h00, le repas de clôture avec un spectacle typique portugais préparé par la municipalité de Faro marque l&rsquo;apothéose de l&rsquo;évènement avec l&rsquo;arrivée simultanée de Zenobia De Jongh, lanterne rouge officielle de cette édition 2023. Elle monte sur scène récupérer son prix sous un tonnerre d&rsquo;applaudissements.</p>

<p><em>Friday May 5th 2023, BikingMan Portugal, day #5</em></p>
<p>It&rsquo;s the final day of competition with the red lanterns who devour the kilometers like fine gourmets. Even if the difficulty is there, it is those who undoubtedly benefit the most from the experience of exploring the last 200 kilometers crossing the Alentejo and the Algarve. Between the fortified towns, the fields of cork oaks and eucalyptus and the typical Portuguese white villages, some take the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Portuguese atmosphere and friendliness by refueling in the village bars.</p>
<p>After a calm morning in the finish village, the last finishers return to their « home port » in Faro to receive the ovations of the finishers who are patiently waiting for them. La Pietra is fresh and awaits each of them for a well-deserved moment of conviviality on the finish line.</p>
<p>At 8:00 p.m., the closing meal with a typical Portuguese show prepared by the municipality of Faro marks the apotheosis of the event with the simultaneous arrival of Zenobia De Jongh, official red lantern of this 2023 edition. She goes on stage to collect her award to thunderous applause.</p>
