The Megavalanche carnival of chaos started this week at Alpe D’Huez with the Avalanche Enduro on Monday/Tuesday and the Avalanche Cup at Oz En Oisans today.

Qualifying for the Megavalanche is on Friday with the biggie race on Sunday.

The Parkin Bros will be beaming DirtTV videos back to us from the event so stay tuned for those beauties.

The Avalanche Cup in Oz en Oisans will take place on the permanent downhill track well known for its difficulties: its strong declivity (-600 m) first but also built on the rocks which means good technical skills are required. About 400 riders from different nationalities will do their very best during the first two stages to be in the top 50 and take part of the Super cup.

The qualifying races of the Megavalanche will take place on Friday 9th of July from 10am, starting from  Dôme des Grandes Rousses.  We are expecting 2000 riders from 30 different nationalities for 3 days of races.
On Saturday, Mega Ladies, Mega Challengers and Mega Affinity 1 will start from the top of the Pic Blanc at 3.300 m and finish in Allemont at 820 m.  The Megavalanche, Mega Amateurs and Mega Affinity 2 will take off on Sunday July 11th from Pic Blanc 3,300 m.  2 new races with the Challengers and Amateurs so more people on the podium!

  1. Amazing to see that Brits almost make up the majority of riders.

  2. Damn, bummed I am missing this this season, hopefully next year!

  3. Haha Pagey, of all the riders in CRC I’d have thought Kovarik would be the one misbhehaving, not the flipping manager.

  4. [...] Qualifying for the Megavalanche is on Friday with the biggie race on Sunday …  Details [...]

  5. Had to pull out this year, had an awesome time out there last year though. Seeing the fast riders on the avalanche cup track coming down the switchbacks into oz was something else!

  6. Good to see Barel back in action!

  7. That video of from 2009.
    Am pretty sure Barel’s not fit yet.
    Have seen pretty much everyone else on the course except him.
