I've fancied this race for a little while, and so after being badgered by Gary and reading Stratobiker's excellent blog. I entered yesterday, along with Gary and Barrie of Moosecycles.
Gary in the shades, looking like megavalanche mega-man :-)
The race starts up in the snow line on Alpe duez and is 40km downish, with a few kicks up in places. Some ride out and out downhill bikes and others anything from 4" cross country machines to hardtails.
I think I'll be using the Blur, and Gary is busy building his mega - bike at the moment.
A full face helmet and elbow guards are compulsory.
I think for this race, I need a french downhill name and got it down to two favourites: Didier or René. Although Serge has a certain gallic something going for it :-)

I like 'Marcel'
What tyre pressure is required!
I've yet to decide on tyres. We're spending the week before the race riding in the area.
What about 'Ramonosteo'
