Results - La Baroudeuse ROAD Race 2019

The Alpes Maritimes were once again in the spotlight at the end of August with a flagship event of ultra-cycling in self-sufficiency exclusively on the road. Forget your mountain bikes or gravel bikes with large sections, the road bike was the bike you needed to participate in the 3rd edition of La Baroudeuse Bikepacking ROAD RACE. A good section of tires between 28 and 32 and go!

The Paris-Brest-Paris, which takes place every 4 years, also gave an appointment to the large global family of cyclo hikers at the same time as The ROAD RACE Baroudeuse that is to say between mid August and late August: from 19 to 01 September. The practice of long distance is evolving, changing and hikers are increasingly asking for the racing spirit in ultra format. What was practiced before in hiking mode now tends to evolve towards a mind focused more on hiking. performance. It takes for everyone !

The Baroudeuse is proud to have organized for the first time a unique race: the TRANS ALPES in its entirety from east to west by 5 countries - 2700K: it was one of three possible distances you could start. From Ljubljana in Slovenia with arrival in France near Nice in a typical village: Peille. 800K and 400K were the other two racing distances. For cyclists who hate the monotony of the flat and the cornfields, La Baroudeuse takes place entirely in medium and high mountains! Be careful, we regularly have fractures of the retinas, the landscapes are so breathtaking.

We would like to congratulate all the riders who had the courage to register, the strength to prepare for many months and the physical and mental capacities to cross the finish line in order to win their ultimate freedom of Gladiator! Because at La Baroudeuse our riders are Gladiators who go into battle: their only way to gain freedom is to complete the course they are on. If they don't see the finish line, we keep them prisoners until the following year, we keep them in intensive training camp.

  • it is a Frenchman who wins the solo event in 25h48 ′: Bravo Gérard Rumen.
  • the event was a little tactical because some feared the Col de la Bonette at 2800m and its passage at night.
  • the weather mingled with the game on the Brutus Race and guided tactical choices that have paid off for some and less for others.
  • Xavier and Dirk fought a battle in the last and final ascent to the village of Peille and they will have made us laugh!
  • the event is open to all, as proof Benjamin and Bastien lived their ultra in 2 days and ten hours. Why not you !
  • they all want to come back and try the Titus Race 800K next year.
  • the organization was there to welcome each of them over all distances and the biggest Ultra is dedicated to Coralie and Cédric who, alongside their work, keep this race alive with passion, never forget it!

It should be remembered in general that all of our riders have completed their adventure happy, they have not all won their freedom but they will try it the following year. We, the organizers, have the feeling of a duty accomplished by seeing our participants fulfilled by the routes that we have proposed to them. The Alpes Maritimes, the hinterland of Nice and Monaco are full of a grandiose natural heritage that we only showcase through sport and ultra cycling. Obviously, thank you to our host village: Peille which allows you all to sleep in a building classified as heritage. Thank you all for your trust, see you soon.
