Max Alran wins elite men downhill at Les Gets World Series
Max Alran took first in elite men downhill at the 2026 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series Les Gets, with French riders also second in women’s downhill and XCC.
Alran tops the downhill result
Max Alran took first place in the elite men’s downhill race at the 2026 WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series Les Gets, according to a PRNewswire release. The result stands out because Alran is listed as 19 years old and from Southern France, making this a significant elite-level marker at a World Series event.
For a downhill rider, a win at this level is not just a finishing-line result. It signals that the speed, risk management, and technical execution required for elite racing are already aligning under pressure. In a discipline where small errors are heavily punished, first place at Les Gets gives Alran a result that matters beyond the event itself.
French riders feature across events
The same release also notes 29-year-old Marine Cabirou from France taking second in elite women’s downhill, while 24-year-old Luca Martin from France finished second in the short track race. Taken together, the results point to a strong French presence across both gravity and cross-country formats at Les Gets.
