Stop #4 of the XTERRA World Cup marches into the mediaeval city of Prachatice, a renaissance village overflowing with history, tradition and XTERRA spirit. This has long been an XTERRA town and its inhabitants will be eagerly awaiting the action. In masses, they’ll watch the start in Ktissky Lake, then stomp into the valley, hooting and hollering as riders battle it out through Sumava National Park. In the Great Square, they’ll anxiously await the winners, hoping only that they’ll be wearing the white, red, and blue.

Felix Forissier and Solenne Billouin Unstoppable in Prachatice

European Champion Felix Forissier and World Champion Solenne Billouin have stamped their names on the Stop #4 Full Distance race in Prachatice. It’s the second full distance win in a row for Forissier after taking maximum points in the Belgium FD race and now putting his World Cup campaign firmly back on track here in Czech. It’s also the exact start to the second half of the series Billouin would have been looking for. Despite constantly threatening, it's the first series win for the Frenchwoman who now moves into 4th position and will surely have her sights firmly set on a place in the top 3 with Germany next week.

World Champion Arthur Serrières finished in 2nd with Lukáš Kočař giving the home country a place on the podium in 3rd. Jens Emil Sloth Nielsen’s 4th place finish means he keeps his spot at the top, but the battle brewing between Serrières and Forissier will be one to watch in the races to come.

‍

Alizée Paties keeps a comfortable lead at the top of the rankings after claiming 2nd place while Loanne Duvoisin remains in second overall with her 3rd place finish. Click here for the full race report and complete results in both divisions.

Solenne Billouin and Arthur Serrières Take Stop #4 Short Track

It’s a clean sweep for the reigning XTERRA World Champions with Solenne Billouin and Arthur Serrières both claiming maximum points in the Short Track race in Czech. Billouin walks away from Stop #4 with a perfect score, having also claimed the Full Distance win less than 24 hours ago, while Serrières comes as close to perfect as it gets with a Short Track win to add to his 2nd place finish yesterday.

Billouin’s intentions were clear from the moment she left the water, and once she moved into 1st position early in the bike section she never looked back and remained unchallenged. Marta Menditto and Loanne Duvoisin then became the battle to watch as the two exchanged places in key sections on the bike, but Duvoisin’s speed on the feet eventually put her ahead to take 2nd with Menditto finishing 3rd.

‍

Ruben Ruzafa put on an unreal display on the bike in the men’s race to head into the run in 1st but ultimately couldn’t hold off a chase pack that included Jens Emil Sloth Nielsen, Felix Forissier, and Arthur Serrières. Sloth Nielsen overtook no less than 18 people to get into the lead, but Serrières timed his move perfectly to cross the line first with Forissier close behind and Sloth Nielsen in 3rd. Full race details available here.

WORLD CUP Series Info

The XTERRA World Cup is the world's premier off-road triathlon pro series, where the sport’s top elites go head-to-head in a condensed circuit of Full Distance and Short Track races. A points-based battle where every turn, climb, and descent matters, each race is a fight for a share of the series prize purse and the pursuit of becoming the next XTERRA World Cup Champion.

The 2026 World Cup features seven stops and eleven races across Oceania, Europe, North America, and Asia. The Joker Rule returns, giving each athlete one Full Distance joker and one Short Track joker to help manage the demands of global travel and reduce the impact of mechanicals. Each race awards points to the top 30 finishers, with a standard Full Distance win earning 100 points and Short Track awarding 75. Stakes rise at the biggest events, with Regional Championships offering 1.2x more points and the series finale offering 1.5x.

In 2026, the series finishes on fresh terrain in Suzhou, China, where Pan Men Square becomes a city-centre stage for the final Short Track showdown before the Full Distance battle around Lake Taihu closes out the season and crowns the next XTERRA World Cup Champions.
