Antoine Vidal, a young 21-year-old talent, was the author of a bad fall in training. Recall that Vidal won this year the French national DH title ahead of Loic Bruni and Amaury Pierron. He has also achieved good results in the Enduro World Series.

Not one of the best news… during last Thursday's training I fell heavily on my collarbone which split in two pieces… Now rest and good rehabilitation to come back even stronger with the Commencal team. Thanks to everyone who wrote to me and thanks to Cecile Ravanel for taking me to the hospital in Antibes. Thanks also to jean Yves for getting me so fast – Antoine Vidal

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
