Maybe there are still a few Trackmaniacs who have not heard about X-Alps competition.

The race just got really exciting :- ). FRA1 and FRA2 were battling for second place the whole day.

Latour was leading this morning only by a few kilometer, Girard overtook in the air. Latour flew more to the southwest. Girard in a more direct line but has rougher area to conquer by foot now. The two are approaching Monaco from slightly different angles...one could say they are closing in through different TM²VALLEYS...er...through different valleys :- >>. Both have pulled the strategic joker the so called 'Nightpass' for the coming night...the decision will fall within the next twenty-four hours...
...probably even during the night.

Clement Latour (FRA1) and Antoine Girard (FRA2).

Very crazy and very impressive indeed :- ). I heard about the race shortly before X-Alps 2011 and got really addicted following Chrigel Maurer during the two weeks in the live stream and eagerly awaited the two years go by for this years competition.

Unbelievable (especially for a 'velocity-wise' spoiled Trackmaniac^^) how thrilling 9km/h can be :->
