How to transform Fear into Positive Stress?
I don’t know about you but sometimes I’m afraid. Throughout the years I have learnt how to process and transform this fear into the first pedal stroke at the start gate.
Pain Creates The Pride
I really believe pain creates the pride.
The feeling of pride when you finish a race is so much bigger than all the pain of training.
Nothing comes for free. If it’s too easy, you might not respect the victory.

How to set up a Mountain bike Downhill Racing Team?
With the upcoming World cup in Lourdes this week-end, I wanted to give you an insight on how a downhill racing team is organized and what you have to do to build one!
Let’s say that we want to make the team X.
We’ll need:
- A team manager. Why? To manage the team! And deal with the sponsors, the medias, the riders, the management in general.
- Loads of money. To pay UCI, mechanics, doctors, travels, hotels, etc.
- A truck. Obviously, to bring your riders and the whole to the events. That’s not cheap either. You have to pay the gasoline, the highway.
- Tents. With the logos of all your sponsors.
- A Media crew. To film everything, from the set up of the truck to the race day. The guy won’t sleep all night to edit and post the videos all over the internet. And he’s not working for free.
The budget needed depends on the number of riders or mechanics.
What is the team spirit? Team Spirit is knowing that everyone is on the same level. No one is better than the other. Let’s build the tents together. That’s the foundation. That’s how you connect together and become best friends. That’s how you show your respect for everyone.
Even if having a team is something really complicated, it’s also one of the best things in the world!
Visit of BR Racing Garage in California!
Today I’m not talking about bikes but about CARS!
If you know me a little, you know that I’m a car addict since forever. When I was in California for the Sea Otter last week, I had the chance to visit the BR Racing garage and what I found inside was insane! All those Porsche 911 GT3 made me feel like I was dreaming. But the best was when I removed the piece of cloth that covered this badass baby: a LMP3 Race Car. Man! I struggled to get in there, there wasn’t much space but I finally did it and I was like a kid! I wanted to drive it so bad but of course I couldn’t. The Nissan V8 engine was massive and impressive with 420 horses power! Even the tires are sick in this kind of cars.
After that, I really wanted to drive some cool car so I took as an excuse to have to go get my friend Lepa from Misahara to drive a beautiful Porsche Macan.
That was a good day before going back to Europe!
Hope you guys enjoyed this little car trip as much as I did!
