Full Distance Results
Felix Forissier and Solenne Billouin Start Strong in Taiwan
France once again leads the XTERRA World Cup with Felix Forissier and Solenne Billouin taking maximum points in the opening race of the 7-stop series. Billouin as the current World Champion and Forissier as the European Champion both executed an almost perfect race from start to finish, working their way to the front on the bike and slowly tightening the screws from there.
Denmark’s Jens Emil Sloth Nielsen went hunting as he always does and put together an impressively fast race to claim 2nd with last year’s winner in Taiwan, Arthur Forissier, finishing close behind in 3rd to put two Frenchmen on the podium.
Reigning World Cup Champion Alizée Paties walks away with silver to make it two French athletes on the women’s podium with her Italian teammate Marta Mendito dropping the hammer on the run to finish in 3rd.

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.
