On the women’s side, Forézienne Liv Coupat (439) is now in the lead… but only 3 lengths ahead of the Haut-Alpine i3 Ski Team’s Léonie Besson (436). Heidi Convard (419) completes the podium ahead of Cloé Pagnier (390) and Maya Desseux (373).
In the U20s, Isaïe Taxil (467) leads the way, just ahead of Johan Calandry (461). Adrien Marchand (434), Jules Bobillier-Chaumont (424) and Lorin Vergnolle (409) are also in the running.
