First of all great job by Bea and Luca !

However I really felt disturbed by the news when it came public, and also by the investigation movie itself.
I’ve always thought, trust in ultra races provide such a strong foundation, that nothing like this might happen. But as we can see shit happens.
I don’t think it’s tragedy, but more so as a red flag that as much popularity this sport gains there shall be measures made.

It’s a really valuable lesson and a disgrace to the rider involved.

Maybe an unusual question, but I’m wondering how you manage your weight and whether it affects your endurance performance or not.

The reason I’m asking is, I figured that if I don’t okay special attention to my Weight , I always go back to around the upper limit of my BMI, meaning 180cm/84kg. It is not at all bad on the bike, but I suspect if I would be 78 it’d make a difference especially on those brevets where we climb a lot.

OTOH I see quite a lot of bigger riders.

What’s your experience ?

Thanks a lot !
