The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:27:16 at Riga 2026 put Pierre-Yves Lopez 171st of 226 men in the Pro division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 36% of the field beaten on the runs, 16% on the stations. On the wall balls the field had the edge, by 3:40. A harder second half: 5:00 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
This was a quick course. Against their other races this season, the people who raced Riga gained about 1:05. That was 8:13 off the time at Helsinki 2026.
