Cassandre Beaugrand claims the winner-take-all title as Georgia Taylor-Brown takes silver in a dominant Bahrain Victorious showing at the Supertri Pro Series Final.
Bahrain Victorious came out on top at the Supertri Pro Series Final in Jersey over the weekend, with Cassandre Beaugrand taking the title and Georgia Taylor-Brown securing silver.
Rather than a points-based series finale, Jersey was a winner-take-all race, with the professional championship title decided on the day and US$100,000 going to the winner.
Racing over three non-stop rounds of a 300-metre swim, 4-kilometre bike and 1.6-kilometre run, Beaugrand’s superior swim-run combination ultimately overcame the pressure applied by Taylor-Brown on the bike. The Brit repeatedly challenged the Olympic champion before taking an impressive second place and US$75,000 in prize money.
Beaugrand established herself immediately with a strong opening swim and earned a Short Chute, which could be used on the final run to gain a valuable time advantage. Taylor-Brown kept the pressure on throughout Jersey’s highly technical bike course, where Beaugrand was more tentative and lost ground during the opening two bike legs. She closed the gap on each run, however, bringing the leading contenders back together ahead of the third and final round.
Taylor-Brown then bridged back after losing time in an early incident on the final bike leg and again pushed the pace at the front, but could not shake Beaugrand. Once onto the final run, Beaugrand attacked immediately and opened a decisive gap before using her Short Chute on the final lap to put the victory beyond doubt.
The result also extends Beaugrand’s unbeaten 2026 season, with the Supertri title added to the four WTCS victories she brought into the race.
As the racing season enters its final stretch, three Bahrain Victorious champions – Jelle Geens, Marten Van Riel and Kat Matthews will line up next weekend at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Nice, France.
