“Outside the Atlas Mountain Race: Taking Turns” is a fresh video from Bombtrack Bicycle Co. in Germany that tells the story of how Sofiane Sehili turned a race-ending mechanical into an excuse to tour Morocco at last year’s Atlas Mountain Race. Ahead of the 2026 grand depart this Friday, watch it here…

Bombtrack-sponsored ultra-distance cyclist Sofiane Sehili’s 2025 Atlas Mountain Race (AMR) didn’t go to plan, but he wasn’t going to let that prevent him from making the most of his time on the bike in Morocco. Outside the Atlas Mountain Race: Taking Turns tells the story of his ill-fated but ultimately rewarding AMR experience, leaving the race route for dusty backroads after converting his broken derailleur to a single-speed and savoring the spectacular countryside and slowing down to interact with locals.
