The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Mathys Maregrande & Valentin Maillard finished 503rd of 796 men's teams in the Doubles Open division at Geneva 2025, in 1:17:48.
A station race more than a running one: 58% of the field beaten on the stations, against 28% on the runs. No single station decided it: every one landed within 0:18 of the median. A harder second half: 1:12 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Geneva ran fast: the 466 teams who also raced elsewhere this season were about 0:51 quicker here than at their other races.
