The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:25:30 at Mechelen 2026 put Max Geerlings 356th of 457 men in the Pro division.
Legs and stations told different stories: 36% of the field beaten on the runs, 16% on the stations. The wall balls cost the most time: 4:32 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 4:12 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Gent 2025 were 5:00 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
