How do you win the gnarliest bikepacking races in the world? With ultra endurance legend Sofiane Sehili

Sofiane Sehili wasn’t a cyclist until he went travelling around Southeast Asia and realised he wasn’t made to be cooped up on a bus or a train for hours at a time. He bought a second-hand bike for $100 and started riding. He’s hardly stopped since.Initially a cycling courier in Paris, Sofiane was encouraged to start entering the world’s gnarliest bikepacking events, like the Tour Divide in the United States, and the Silk Road Mountain Race in Eastern Europe.Now, aged 43, Sofiane is a three-time Silk Road winner and a legend for his unconventional approach to some of the world’s hardest bike races. Happy to forego sleep for days on end in his quest to win, Sofiane dropped into the Just Ride studio to tell Rob and Eliot all about his career to date.Staggered by his dedication to the cause, Rob and Eliot were bowled over by Sofiane – and we’re sure you will be too. You don’t want to miss this chat.If you want to get in touch with Rob and Eliot, email podcast@redbull.com, or hit them up on their socials.We’ll be back in two weeks!
