After two back to back wins on the Silk road mountain race, I went back to Kyrgyzstan to secure an unlikely third win in three participation. With the densest field ever seen in a bikepacking race, I had to be both lucky and at the top of my game. Little did I know, luck would not be in my favor this time…

Always a big fan of your vid’s. I’ll be attempting 2025👍 Maybe I’ll see you there.
esse é o cara..
Sofiane is a true racer, crazy and unstoppable. and he does what he has to do. thanks for the video👍
I think that the accompanying car with cameramen should go with you so that we could see the full report with details. because it is difficult for you to do it alone. it is impossible for one person to conquer the silk road and make a full movie about it. i think there will be something to see))
Really amazing!
Wish you the best ❤💪
nice job editor. very pleasant to watch. the question is, will you be at the SRMR 2024 start ? congrats and amazing will power for the win. Out of the 3 wins which ones was the hardest one? 2022 seemed to be terrible weather wise…
Les paysages sont tellement dingues !!! T'en chies mais c'est clair que c'est priceless comme disent les américains
Félicitations encore une de plus, incroyable. Moi ça me fait rêver des exploits comme celui-là, non pas pour la place, le finir me conviendrai amplement , mais plutôt pour l’aventure intérieur et pour le spectacle extérieur. Je viens juste de découvrir cette course je ne savais même pas que ça existait très impressionnante. Encore bravo et bonne continuation.
Magnifique plongée dans l'intimité et la souffrance causées à la fois par le tracé de la course et par ton inoxydable désir de victoire (want so bad!)
Impressionnant de détermination, je suis admiratif
j'espère qu'il y moyen de la faire nettement "plus facilement" sinon je n'y participerai jamais !
Salute –
Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Malay on your first shitty bike and now that – true inspiration.
Extraordinary achievement. Congratulations! You wanted it, you got it. Even in the depths of uncertainty, your commentary expressed how much you enjoy the place, the race, the people: you win even if you don’t come in first. Alas, you won. Again, congratulations, champ!
I still believe that people pay for this crazy self-amortizing adventure.
👋👋👋
I like that this karaoke video has lots of gnar-bike backing ! 🔨 🎼
Totally insane! Congrats on the third title!
