MASS START racing - High speed battle to overtake the course cutters! Liam Moynihan

We found out about a mass start one day race in Courchevel and decided to go and race for some fun! The format would be similar to the Mountain of Hell or Megavalanche but with no glacier and just held on a single day.
The small bike festival on there was called - The Cycling event
I had a decent enough start and was in 5th, right behind my main competitors for the win so felt quite comfortable, one rider decided to cut the track which resulted in everyone behind him following, I quickly ended up behind a load of slower riders with some inbetween me and the other fast riders, I tried as hard as possible to get forwards but ended up 6th!
Was a really fun race and one I'll definitely be back for again but with the knowledge to cut the track! haha!

Final results were:
1-Kevin Miquel
2- Olivier Bruwiere
3 Finn Iles
4 - The original course cutter.
5- Kjell Van den Boogert
6- me

I love watching you ride - you have a lot of heart and attack the course as hard as you can..

Very good recovery after cutter guys. Well done. Congratulations for 6th. I hope you will good results in next races.

Excellent run. Appreciate the commentary and position marker. Interesting varied course with overtaking possibilities.
Watched Olivier's vid earlier. Maybe the organizers need to invest in some extra tape, stakes and marshals before next year.

What's the meaning of e-bike here? Do they have better gears or something?

[Владвлад-рх]

the monstrous noise from the wind spoils the whole impression of the video😑

[LAKINDUCHETHANA-wu]

you could got a good place than 6 if that cutter guys didn't do that

[CaptainBugey]

Is race smart, not hard applicable here ?

[AhmedAliRazzaq-xqhj]

You need some more difficult training to keep the positions in top 5. But you are always one of my best rider.

How very unsportive, all that course cutting!

[Barryscouler]

All course cutter get an instant within 1k ban and removal from the race when in bunches a course cut would be more than 3m from marked course if not bunched up course must be followed that becomes fair for every one
