It's probably the wildest scene in mountain biking : 700 riders huge Mass Start on the snow. Here is Mountain Of Hell 2016 in Les 2 Alpes. I qualified on line 12, and finished 30th in Master 2 in 52:23:72 I was still putting on my gloves when the race started, but I went full gas not touching the brakes until the end where I realized my rear brake was not working. The lever was very hard, almost impossible to pull. Oh well, a good sliding on the snow is always a safe and easy way to stop anyhow.
