Who picks up the hospital bill after a crash in the Louron rock fields?

icon Frais médicaux

Pelvis, femur, shoulder, what a DH off-track costs

On a downhill track, one wrong line through a rock field is paid for at full speed: a broken pelvis or femur, a dislocated shoulder, concussion despite the full-face. Medical costs up to €150,000 cover hospital care, surgery and the treatment that follows, whether you travelled from abroad or live down the valley.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Off a steep Pyrenean slope and all the way home

Getting an injured rider off a steep slope and down to a hospital in the lowlands takes time and resources. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost organises that transfer, then your trip home, whether that means Toulouse, Vancouver or Rotorua.

icon Option compétition

Timed training, qualifying, finals and enduro stages

The weekend strings together timed training, qualifying and finals for downhill, plus back-to-back enduro stages. The Competition option covers each of these official races, then the rest of your season, from national series to other World Series rounds.

icon Capital invalidité

Lasting damage from a big hit, up to €200,000

A cased jump or a tree strike can leave permanent harm to the spine, a knee or a hand. The permanent disability capital pays up to €200,000 based on the assessed degree of disability, helping you adapt your home, your work and your daily life.

What brings riders down in the Louron valley

Late-spring weather in the Pyrenees turns fast, and an afternoon storm can turn a dusty track into greasy dirt between practice and finals. Riders also pay for arm pump, lines memorised too quickly during the track walk, and the urge to push harder in front of fans packed along the tape.

Downhill is not just World Series weekends. Bike park laps, trail building sessions, regional enduros and riding trips abroad expose you to the same crashes all year round. Picking downhill mountain bike insurance that covers training and racing, in France and abroad, saves you juggling policies from one season to the next.
