LAST STAGE !

People were fighting for the points today to gain or maintain their positions in the overall rankings. Sometimes against their preferences, pushing the limits, they have gone into this stage with everything they had.

If it worked for some, it means that it didn't for others as places were swapped.

Once again we've got great ITWs with all these athletes, understand how to perfect your downhill with Nienke Brinkman, the power of mental resilience from Remi Bonnet (today's male champion), the power of the trail running community for Allie Mac (today's female champion), words of wisdom coming from the young Malen Osa, and how to ride the red line with Sophia Laukli.

Enjoy!

Hello friends !

In this episode, we tell you about Nienke's feelings during today's run and plans for tomorrow, why Rémi chose to take it out hard in the first climb, how Thibaut Baronian fought against Elhousine and Ruy Ueda or the secret plans of Sophia Laukli.

Today I was also joined by Allie McLaughlin who had decided not to race this stage. Instead, she dressed up as Marla (Fight Club) to cheer people on and warm up for tomorrow's party on her bday. Yep, things are about to get real!

Enjoy!

Short and sweet could describe today's stage... minus the sweet! It was a brutal course and once again we've seen a lot of drama, and like yesterday, runners went absolutely "full send" mode in all the segments!

Wanna learn why that day was so special for Nienke Brinkman? Unveil Morgan Eliott's secret on how to take the uphill segment win from Remi Bonnet ? Or find out how Sophia Laukli and Allie MacLaughlin helped each other out to finish 2nd and 3rd of this stage respectively ?

Well, it's all there in today's episode and more, enjoy!

CARNAGE !!!

From my experience in stage races, we usually see the biggest amount of carnage on day 3 or 4 but day 2 of the Golden Trail World Series Final in Madeira Island was insane. From a 180 degree shift in weather going from wet and raining yesterday, today was sunny, hot and windy  = perfect combo for dehydration !

I also managed to get on the course to give you additional updates on how the race went, as well as pre and post race interviews, enjoy !
