WTCS Quiberon 2026 Results: Coninx and Beaugrand Win on Home Soil
France’s Dorian Coninx and Cassandre Beaugrand delivered home victories at WTCS Quiberon on 20 June, the sprint-distance debut for the venue. Coninx pipped Portugal’s Vasco Vilaca by a single second in a thrilling men’s race, while Beaugrand pulled clear of Sweden’s Tilda Månsson on the run to win in 58:29. Britain’s Alex Yee, the Paris 2024 Olympic champion, did not finish.
Men’s Race
Coninx, the 2023 World Champion, produced a devastating sprint to seize the win in 53:16 — one second ahead of Vilaca and three ahead of Brazil’s Ricardo Batista. Spain’s David Cantero Del Campo took fourth, with Brazil’s Miguel Hidalgo fifth.
- Dorian Coninx (FRA) — 53:16
- Vasco Vilaca (POR) — 53:17
- Ricardo Batista (POR) — 53:19
- David Cantero Del Campo (ESP) — 53:30
- Miguel Hidalgo (BRA) — 53:31
Women’s Race
Beaugrand was decisive once on the run, pulling clear of Månsson in the final kilometres for an eight-second win in 58:29. Belgium’s Jolien Vermeylen took her first individual WTCS podium in third.
- Cassandre Beaugrand (FRA) — 58:29
- Tilda Månsson (SWE) — 58:37
- Jolien Vermeylen (BEL) — 58:42
- Emma Lombardi (FRA) — 58:51
- Jeanne Lehair (LUX) — 58:57
Season Implications
Beaugrand’s win reinforces her primacy heading into Hamburg and London. Coninx’s return to the top step — after a difficult 18 months — gives France a serious second-card threat in the men’s race. Yee’s DNF, on the other hand, is a setback in a season where he’s split his focus across formats.
