The results of the two TPS races
40km:
4th in 2019 in 4h12min, 40km winner Nicolas Gourdon has seemingly turned a corner this year. After successively winning the 87km Echappée Belle and the 45km Serre Che Trail Salomon, he literally pulverized his 2019 time on the TPSB by winning in 3h55min38s. A runner to follow for sure.
First participation for Carole Klein and a beautiful first place on the 40km in an excellent time (4h55min10s) only a few seconds from the reference time held by Melanie Rousset in 2017 (4h54min57s).
60km:
Member of the Belgian trail team, Jérôme Vanderschaeghe was making the trip to Savoyard lands with some ambitions on the 60km. He was quickly in the lead and opened up a small gap on the descent of the Forclaz pass, then kept this lead, while remaining in control, until he crossed the finish line (6h50min01s), setting the new record for the race held until now by Mikaël Pasero. (6h53min06s).
For the women, it was Mélanie Rousset who won, who needs no introduction... Winner of the 40km in 2017, the 60km in 2019 and 2021. That's all. No doubt, she is in her element on the TPSB.
