“I don’t think it gets bigger than racing in front of my family, friends, and in my home country at the most important race in the world. I hope to make Paris the race of my life.”
While Dickinson performed in Poland, BMC ambassador Julie Derron won in Rapperswil, Switzerland, her the 70.3 Iron Man.
Van Avermaet said after the finish: "I felt good at the start, but two flats early on set me back. I managed to catch up to the leading group, but it took a lot of energy. I hung in there and finished with a solid 7th place! After a good night's sleep, I can say it was a great experience."
"I initially competed with non-disabled athletes," the BMC athlete continues. "Later, I chose to be classified in paratriathlon with the French federation. After participating in detection days, where paratriathletes were tested in all three sports, I was selected to join the development team in 2023. This stage precedes joining the French national team and allows participation in international competitions."
