A strong performance from the Dane and the Frenchwoman saw the pair crowned as the new European Champions while taking maximum points in the final Full Distance race of the series. For Sloth Nielsen, it was a second World Cup win this year and a powerful show of form ahead of the World Championship. For World Champion Solenne Billouin, it was only her second World Cup race of the season, but her first return to the top step this year as she prepares to defend her World Championship title next month.

Full Distance - Story of the Race

A return to one of XTERRA’s oldest battlegrounds for one of the sport’s biggest titles and the penultimate stop of the series.
World Champion, European Champion, and winner here in Germany last year, Arthur Serrières begins as a strong favourite in the men’s field.
Reigning European Champion Loanne Duvoisin makes her season debut, taking to the line against a battle-tested field.
Leading the men out of the water in 00:19:49, Emile Billaut looks back to measure his gap on Michele Bonacina.
Reaching dry land in 00:21:02, Isla Hedley set the pace for the women’s field with Aneta Grabmuller close behind.
All speed and no brakes onto the bike trails of Zittau, as the familiar battle between Forissier and Serrières quickly took shape.
Always up for a fight on the bike, Jens Emil Sloth Nielsen rode his way to the front with the fastest split of 01:33:35.
Doing the necessary damage on two wheels, Solenne Billouin powered into the lead with the fastest women’s split of 01:52:51.
Only a minute back with his strongest discipline still to come, Arthur Serrières crosses the notorious Mega Holz berm.
Never out for the count, Aneta Grabmuller pushed to the very end to claim her third podium in two weeks.
Still the name to beat, Solenne Billouin now adds the European title to the growing legacy she continues to build.
A man on a mission and unbeatable on the day, Jens Emil Sloth Nielsen adds another World Cup win to his growing list.
Seven stops down, one final battle to go beneath the Dolomites next month.
