Racing La Marmotte 2025 – Chasing Top 100

La Marmotte is one of the hardest and most legendary granfondos in Europe – with over 5,000m of climbing across iconic climbs like Col du Glandon, Col du Galibier, and Alpe d’Huez.

In 2017, I came close to breaking into the top 100. But on the brutal slopes of the Col du Galibier, I hit the wall – and the dream slipped away.

This year, I came back with one goal: to settle that unfinished business.

In this video, I take you through my race day, my thoughts along the route, and the lessons I’ve learned from one of the most demanding day you can spend on a bike. Whether you're dreaming of doing La Marmotte yourself, or you're just into the grind and beauty of cycling – I hope this video gives you something valuable.

📺 This is my first video, but definitely not the last. I’m planning more content and races next year, so if you want to follow along, then:

✅ please LIKE if you enjoy the video
✅ please SUBSCRIBE if you want more cycling content – race breakdowns, training insights, and behind-the-scenes from upcoming events

💬 Got questions about the race? Drop them in the comments or DM me on Instagram – happy to share what I’ve learned.
