The ultracyclists completed an exceptional 1,005-kilometer journey, covering 19,800 meters of elevation gain, passing through 139 villages, and tackling 56 climbs.
At the end of this demanding course, Damien Jeanjean won the 2026 BikingMan Corsica with a record-breaking time of 44 hours and 30 minutes.
This performance was built on consistency, remarkable racing intelligence, and a rare connection to the effort. In his very first BikingMan event, Damien achieved a resounding feat. Already a winner of the Étape du Tour and the Haute Route des Alpes in 2024, he has once again demonstrated his immense ability to excel on the most demanding terrain.
With this victory and this record-setting time, Damien Jeanjean has made history in BikingMan and ultracycling.
A Strong and Determined Podium
Behind him, Julien Chorier claimed second place in 46h15, following an epic battle with the race leader from start to finish. Coming from a trail running background, his mountain experience naturally made the difference.
Third place went to Simon Rambaud, who finished the race in 51 hours and 13 minutes. In his second BikingMan race and his very first 1,000-km event, Simon delivered a solid performance that hints at an ambitious future in the circuit’s most demanding races.
