The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Mechelen 2026, Peter Depaepe crossed the line in 1:08:00: 132nd of 457 men, faster than 71% of the field.
A station race more than a running one: 85% of the field beaten on the stations, against 53% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the wall balls: 1:51 on the median. Stronger after halfway: 1:06 better against the middle of the field than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 5:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
