Also a good report on the race here

The ‘Cristalp’, as it is fondly known, is touted as the longest one-day mountain bike race in the world. It’s 131km long with 4,700m of ascent crossing 6 alpine valleys. This popular race is now in its 17th year, so it must be good!

The race is point to point, starting in the Swiss ski town of Verbier and heading east to finish at the tiny village of Grimentz. A whopping 2,700+ competitors set off from the starting line, 850 from Verbier and 1,500 do a shorter 76km version.
