Both Chamonix mountain bikers, Yann Gachet and Damien Freitag, had left Chamonix Church Square at 0 hours on Saturday for a complete tour of the Mont-Blanc (the same route as the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc), but in reverse sense (starting by the Col de Balme). Both atheltes thought that their best time would be around 20 hours. Saturday evening, they arrived at Chamonix Church Square, one hour ahead of their predictions... 19h. A NEW record was established. 160km and 7584 meters of elevation gain in 19 hours, without using any portions of roads that make the tour easier! Le Dauphiné
