Arthur Forissier and Solenne Billouin Win In Greece
Controversy and dominance were the order of the day in the men’s and women’s races respectively, as Arthur Forissier claimed his first win to move into 2nd place and Solenne Billouin doubled her points to keep her lead in the 2024 XTERRA World Cup.

The two Forissier brothers worked together as a pair to control the race from the front, with Felix Forissier eventually opening up a gap to see him headed for a comfortable second win in the series. But a wrong turn coming into the race village cost the younger brother precious seconds as Arthur Forrisier crossed in 1st to claim his first win of the series. It was a lot less of a screamer in the women’s race as France’s Solenne Billouin put in another dominant performance to finish unchallenged up front with over 2 minutes to spare. The current World Champ is now 2 for 2 in the series, heading into stop #3 with the perfect score of 200 series points.

Felix Forissier will be disappointed with his mishap, but he will also take confidence in the fact that he clearly has what it takes to continue winning in this series. His 2nd place finish sees him keep his position at the top of the leaderboard with 190 points, while World Champion Arthur Serrières opened his World Cup campaign with a 3rd place finish that now leaves him in 9th place in the series.
Aneta Grabmüller announced herself as the name to watch with a 4th place finish in Taiwan, and today she backed that up with an impressive 2nd place. The Czech athlete is now tied in 2nd place in the series with reigning World Cup Champion Alizée Paties. Sandra Mairhofer took the final spot on the podium, opening her World Cup run with a 3rd place finish that sees the Italian enter the series leaderboard in 7th.
