My personal reflections on the Red Bull X-Alps 2025:

Risk, Responsibility & Personal Growth

- How did it feel to watch from the sidelines?

- Do I miss it?

- What’s my take on Aaron Durogati’s win – and on why Chrigel Maurer didn’t claim victory this time?

I also dive into deeper topics:

- The balance between risk and responsibility.

- How race design impacts athlete decisions.

- What has changed in the Red Bull X-Alps over the years – from route setting to media pressure.

- And finally: what the race has taught me about life, freedom, and making the right calls for yourself.
