XTERRA World Cup #3 Belgium

The race for Europe's biggest title

‍

The second of the 3 continental championships of which all series contenders must race 2, Belgium brings with it 3 things: more prize money, more points, and much, much more competition.

Doubling as the XTERRA European Championship, stop #3 on the World Cup series offers a shot at one of the most coveted titles in off-road tri, which almost guarantees one of the most competitive start lists of the season. It’s no secret Europe currently dominates the upper tier of the XTERRA Rankings, and with so much on the line this double-feature weekend will be a show stopper.

Starting at the iconic Citadel, expect nothing less than full-gas off-road racing from start to finish in the full-distance race as the best in the world fight it out for regional championship glory, those all important series points, and a place on the line for the short track race the following day.

Alizée Paties: Why Mindset Matters

Alizée Paties (FRA) claimed the first victory of the XTERRA World Cup at the APAC Championship and now leads the series at the top of the women’s leaderboard. “It was a surprise but not a surprise,” Paties said. In a perfectly executed performance she passed current world #1 Solenne Billouin on the run to take the tape by a convincing gap of over 2 minutes. Her choice to wear a CamelBak under the hot and humid conditions in Taiwan might have been the key to her victory but, perhaps, we are now seeing a new side to Paties.
