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.
