Les Orres Bike Park, competition ground

Antoine Vidal, from the Commencal Les Orres Bike Park team, won the title of 2022 French champion with a time of 3:55.03. He was followed by Loïc Bruni(3:55.04) and Amaury Pierron(3:56.27). However, it is Antoine Pierron who currently holds the best time, with a 3:52.23, set during the final of the Coupe de France de VTT de descente 2024.

In the women's category, Mélanie Chappaz, winner of the EDC#4 Les Deux Alpes 2024, currently holds the best time with 4:36.69, which enabled her to win the Coupe de France 2024.

All these conditions combine to promise one of the most spectacular and hotly contested races of the season. And with the reputation of Les Orres Bike Park, it's likely that a few World Cup riders will also be making the trip.
