MEGAVALANCHE 2022 - 2nd place & Intense Podium Battle - Liam Moynihan full race!

Thanks to all the great companies and people who get me to the races and keep my bikes and kit running sweet!
Also a big thanks to the SR Suntour and West Highland Wheelers (my local bike club at home) contingent from home who were there racing this weekend and helped me out massively with lifts between alpe d'huez & allemond and also brought some good spirits and laughs to our weekend racing! Big well done to Daniel Parfitt and Louise Ferguson who also both belong to the club getting 2nd place Cadet(Under 17) and 2nd place woman!

The Megavalanche really needs no introduction! It's been running for 27years and was the original Enduro/ All mountain MTB event.
I've raced several times before and have had a number of top 10 finished my previous best being 6th place. It's been a personal goal to podium at the race, and so I was delighted with 2nd place this year

I took it careful on the rocks and snow at the top, it was pretty treacherous. I wanted to be in the top 8 to 10 after the snow and actually found myself in about 14th but luckily in a fast train of riders who were catching the groups in front.
Another battle with my friend Olivier Bruwiere for second place pushed us both all the way to the finish and max heart rate at 200bpm!
Will be back next year to try and go one spot better.
