2023 World Cross Triathlon Championships Ibiza: Race Highlights

Italy’s multisport queen Sandra Mairhofer and Felix Forissier of France produce brilliant world title shows in the 2023 World Cross Triathlon Championships Ibiza. After a 1km swim in the emerald Balearic Sea it was a long run up into transition before two gruelling bike laps up into the hills that surround the famous town. Three distinct sections presented three different challenges, with gravel, rocks, trails and tarmac at various points, scything switchbacks and rapid descents on each of the 10km loops. A 5km run wrapped things up, combining technical sections, beach passes and rocky headlands, before hitting the chute for glory.

That race is well covered. Lots of cool camera angles.

World Cross Triathlon! I'm a new fan here after meeting some of the pros last month at Xterra in Taiwan. Great people, humble, professional and fun! I really hope this niche in triathlon gets the audience it deserves. It's so competitive, closer to nature, very technical.. it's a great community.

It’s the best form of triathlon I think!!

Was the bike course that technical? It looks pretty tame from here.

[@rebeccab406]

The bike course was pretty technical. They even changed it from the cross duathlon 2 days prior. There was a section that had quite a few crashes so they changed that part.

The bike leg looked pretty tame compared to what we ride at Xterra here in South Africa - perhaps the footage didn’t do it justice?

Eric Langerstrom, disapointing as usual, this dude does not decide what he wants to participate in: Tris, Gravel, or cross Tris, etc? Pick one and show discipline and get good at it!! GG!

[@mattia_pastore]

what an ignorant view of life.

He's been doing xterra for years. What are you talking about?
