After two days of competing on race courses that had to be modified due to the abundant snowfall, the Altitoy Ternua was decided by a photo-finish, with three of the men’s teams finishing within less than a minute of each other. Final victory went to the day’s winners Mathéo Jacquemoud - Kilian Jornet Burgada in 3h40’45’’, a mere 9 seconds ahead of the Italians Damiano Lenzi - Matteo Eydallin (3h40’54’’), who were followed by Michele Boscacci - Robert Antonioli (3h41’06’').
There were no major upsets in the women’s race, with Saturday’s results being repeated and France’s Laetitia Roux - Axelle Mollaret winning with a final time of 4h33’, ahead of Spain’s Mireia Mirò Marta Garcia Farres (4h39') and Italy’s Martina Valmassoi - Katia Tomatis (4h41’).
The next stage of the long distance circuit will be the 31st Pierra Menta, scheduled to take place from 9 - 12 March 2016.
