Bernabeu-Seguy and Tanguy Win French Trail Titles at Mont Ventoux

The results shape France's team for June's European Championships in Slovenia.

Overview

  • Florian Bernabeu-Seguy won the 50 km national title in 4:18:01 on Sunday, with Xavier Bartoli second and Valentin Benard third.
  • Audrey Tanguy claimed the women's long race in 4:58:02, finishing ahead of Marie Goncalves and Anne-Cécile Thévenot.
  • Ouest-France, citing specialist site U-Trail, reports several pre-race favorites strayed off course near Chalet Reynard and added about eight kilometers, which reshaped the men's outcome.
  • On the 29 km course, Pierre Galbourdin won in 2:00:20 ahead of Benjamin Roubiol and Thomas Butez, and Cécile Jarousseau topped the women's field in 2:28:03.
  • Snow, fog, strong wind, and temperatures down to −7°C at the Ventoux summit raised the difficulty and influenced how the long races unfolded.
