Biathlon | Prémanon: Quentin Fillon-Maillet triumphs in the mass-start 60 of the French Cup ahead of Rémi Broutier and Jacques Jefferies

Biathlon: a national victory for Quentin Fillon-Maillet

Early on Sunday afternoon, Quentin Fillon-Maillet from the Jura decided to take part in the Mass-Start 60 of the French Biathlon Cup in Prémanon (Jura). At the Tuffes stadium, the multiple Olympic medallist wanted to put in a final burst of intensity just a few days before the World Cup in Oberhof (Germany).

Quentin Fillon-Maillet came up trumps against national competition that was very affordable for his level. Despite a poor 12/20 against the targets in the pre-handicap wind, the Grandvallier won by 1 min 00 sec 7 ahead of Rémi Broutier (12/20).

Jacques Jefferies on the podium

Montblanc’s Jacques Jefferies (12/20) bounced back from a difficult start to the season to complete the podium by nearly 2 minutes.

In fourth place overall was Léo Carlier (13/20), winner in the U19 category. Mathieu Perrillat-Bottonet (11/20), Valentin Lejeune (12/20), Alexis Colomban (14/20), yellow number Mathieu Garcia (11/20), Edgar Geny (13/20) and Judicaël Perrillat-Bottonet (11/20) all made the top 10.

Twelfth overall, Clément Pirès (13/20) took second place in the U19 category, while the third-placed rider in this category was Esteban Moreira (12/20), who was fifteenth on the day. Guillaume Poirot (13/20) was eleventh, Ian Martinet (11/20) thirteenth, Paul Fontaine (10/20) fourteenth,Antonin Guy (13/20) seventeenth, Camille Grataloup-Manissolle (11/20) twentieth and Damien Levet (10/20) twenty-fifth.
