3.8 km of swimming, 180 km of cycling and 42.195 km of running concluded on the Promenade des Anglais. So much for the menu. On arrival, Frenchman Sam Laidlow won in 8h6’22” (ahead of German Patrick Lange in 8h10’17”).

And two former stars of the cycling peloton stood out. The Kazakh Alexandre Vinokourov won in 9h35 in the 50-54 year old category. And Laurent Jalabert won the event reserved for 55-59 year olds in 10h02’56”, as reported by Nice Matin.
