Jersey

In a dramatic race full of crashes, penalties and athletic spectacle, Csongor Lehmann of Stars & Stripes has today surged to victory at Supertri League Jersey.

The 26-year-old Hungarian would pull ahead on the final run leg of the nine-stage triathlon to edge out Crown Racing’s established Supertri force Vasco Vilaça and Oliver Conway of Brownlee Racing in a breakout race for the 20-year-old Brit.

Lehmann’s five-second margin of victory over Vilaça only told part of the story, however, with Vilaça suffering a five-second penalty for a transition infringement and both experienced triathlon forces Tayler Reid and Jonny Brownlee crashing on the wet Channel Island concrete.

Podium Racing superstar Jeanne Lehair has today taken control of the 2025 Supertri League with a dominant victory in Jersey. The Luxembourg athlete would execute a perfect game plan of swim, bike, run and transition prowess, making the decisive move in T2 on the final stage of the day to break Georgia Taylor-Brown’s resolve.

It would be a day to remember for Podium Racing and their bid for 2025 team honours, with Léonie Périault taking silver 8secs ahead of Taylor Brown of Crown Racing. With the title decider set for Toulouse on 5 October, the overall series is now Lehair’s to lose.

Torrential rain gave way to bright sunshine for the athletes in Jersey in what was the Channel Island’s record fifth Supertri League race since its debut in 2017. The streets of St. Helier delivered one of the most technical routes in the series, with a deep-water and chilly harbour swim followed by technical bike and run legs full of tight turns and sections subject to sharp coastal winds.
