Well, "Les 2 Alpes" isn't exactly in Canada. France is much closer for you if you wanna come to Crankworx Europe.

Again ibex-rider, your mixing "Alpe d'Huez" and "2 alpes", Angryham is asking about the riding in Alpe d'Huez, and you talk about 2 Alpes... A few videos here : http://vimeo.com/13816375 http://www.pinkbike.com/video/212670/ http://www.zapiks.fr/megavalanche-2011-alpe-d-hue.html A guide of some of the trails in Alpe d'Huez and around : "Freeride" ; http://www.bikes-oisans.com/oisans-trail-mtb-15.html "Downhill" : http://www.bikes-oisans.com/oisans-trail-mtb-28.html And a "Mega-Avalanche alternative survival guide according to MTBRider.com Veterans" :-) http://www.mtbrider.com/showthread.php?23051-Mega-Avalanche-alternative-survival-guide-according-to-MTBRider-com-Veterans

"The megavalanche made by the 2 alpes and one week before !" Megavalanche is in Alpe d'Huez, not 2 Alpes. I know we are both very close (a few kilometers), but still not the same. Will try to make it to Crankworx.

I won't say anything related to your nationality, I'll just say that you are a prick.

It is written in the article and at the end of the video...

We do have some pretty good one (Génépi) over here too, in Alpe d'Huez :D

"Five Ten will, however, likely cut the number of models of climbing shoes it offers. "[Adidas] didn't think we had enough bike shoes, maybe too many of certain kinds of rock shoes. So we're going to even out the product line," Cole says, though he adds that the company probably would have made similar changes anyway, had the buyout not occurred." Taken from this article found here : http://www.outsideonline.com/blog/what-does-the-adidas-five-ten-buyout-mean-for-climbers.html

It's Amer Sports who owns Salomon/Mavic now. http://www.amersports.com

34 million people...an insulated community. And judging a frame/bike on it's name... What an idiot.

If you read day 4 report, it says (http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Third-Annual-Trans-Provence-Day-4.html) : "Today we had our first injuries and they've been with the fast guys. Ben Cruz is out with either severely torn ligaments or a broken ankle - Steve Jones had a big crash, and whilst Nico Vouilloz hasn't hurt himself - he lost time after tearing of his rear mech."

@georgy291 "...They put huge amounts of effort in to arranging events like tour de france etc..." UCI has nothing to do with the Tour de France organisation. TdF is owned and organised by a private company "A.S.O" (http://www.aso.fr) Don't give themtoo much credits.
