These are the big winners of Beijing Express, The epic of the maharajas ! Jean-Claude and Axel win this All-stars season which ended this Saturday evening on M6. The grandfather and grandson of Gers made their dream come true by arriving before Clément and Émeline during the big final sprint in New Delhi.

“It earned me criticism…” : Axel explains why he let his grandfather pull the camel during the trek in Beijing Express
They went through the tests with varying degrees of success, but without a doubt succeeded in surpassing their limits. We particularly remember the trek in the Indian desert, which brought back some bad memories since they had abandoned the same mission during their first season in Jordan. “It still bothered me because that’s what cost us a lot on our first Beijing Express. When we saw that we had to repeat this test, we said to ourselves that Stéphane Rotenberg was a bit sadistic. We wanted to take zero risks, but mentally it was the most difficult test. We really wanted to fight against ourselves and it was a personal revenge.” tells Axel to Tele-Leisure. During the broadcast of the quarter-finals, the 22-year-old suffered a lot of criticism on social networks. In fact, the pair had agreed that Jean-Claude would pull the camel on which Axel was sitting. But then, why didn’t they reverse the roles when the grandfather had already been at the end of his rope several years ago over this ordeal? “It’s a question that comes to us often, which has earned me criticism on social networks. I’m re-explaining it here so everyone will know: Grandpa can’t hold the glass because he has a tremor. with his right hand, because of the pills he takes, he would not have been able to balance the tray. The debate is closed“reveals Axel.
“Negative comments are the hardest” : Jean-Claude and Axel return to the criticisms in Beijing Express All-stars
Some Internet users also criticized Axel for his behavior with his grandfather, particularly when he lost patience in the 3rd episode, during the test with a pair of skis for two. “Negative comments are the hardest.”explains Jean-Claude who had defended his grandson on social networks, emphasizing that he was “very respectful”. “What I find harder than the first time is social networks, I think I’m going to get out of there because there are people who take pleasure in being mean”says the 76-year-old grandfather. “Our first edition in 2022, there were only positive comments, this year, it was much more mixed. On (formerly Twitter, editor’s note) it was the jungle. Grandpa not too much, but me I had a blast at certain times”deplores Axel, who can however console himself with his victory in this All-stars edition.
