For the sixth time since 2017, the Channel Island once again delivered a showcase of elite short-course racing. And Cassandre Beaugrand emerged as the victor, claiming the $100,000 overall Supertri Pro Series title and keeping her unbeaten 2026 streak alive.

In front of huge crowds at Supertri’s spiritual home in St. Helier, Beaugrand kicked into high gear on the final run and never looked back, striding to victory 19 seconds ahead of Georgia Taylor-Brown, with Jeanne Lehair rounding out the podium in third.

How the Race Unfolded

The Supertri Jersey final followed the signature format of three swim-bike-run sequences in a row, with no breaks and eight transitions. Each swim was 300m in the harbour, followed by a tight and technical four-lap 4km bike and a super fast two-lap 1.6km run. Three short chutes were on offer for being the first across the mount line following the opening swim, bike and run.

Lehair was wearing the pink kit as the reigning champion, while Beaugrand has not lost a race in 2026. With these two, as well as Taylor-Brown (3 x Supertri champion), the start line promised a close and compelling race.

Stage 1

The first 300m swim stage of the day began in deep and chilly water where Beaugrand swam straight to the front, with Eve Whitaker on her toes. Beaugrand exited the water first onto the steep, short jetty and was rewarded with the first short chute.

The 4km technical bike was initially led by Beaugrand before Whitaker took over the lead halfway through the first of four laps. A crash on lap two for Whitaker allowed Beaugrand to bridge and take back the lead. Taylor-Brown and Jess Fullagar pulled back 10 seconds to bridge and join Whitaker and Beaugrand at the front. Then Whitaker took another spill into the banners on lap four of four. Taylor-Brown’s bike-handling skills were on display as she made up plenty of ground on the technical course to move into the lead.

The new two-lap 1.6km run began with Fullagar ahead of Taylor-Brown. Beaugrand, meanwhile, was 12 seconds back exiting transition but quickly joined Taylor-Brown to move into the lead, overtaking Fullagar just before starting lap two. Meanwhile, Leonie Periault, Lehair and Jolien Vermeylen were lodged in the first chase pack, around 11 seconds back.

Stage 2

Beaugrand was first into St. Helier’s harbour waters for the second 300m swim of the event, and again exited onto the ramp in first position ahead of Taylor-Brown in second, followed by Fullagar, Lehair, and Periault.

Taylor-Brown and Fullagar quickly took the lead on the bike, putting their technical skills on full display, and pushing the tempo to stretch the field out and establish an advantage over Lehair and Beaugrand.

But over the course of the run, Lehair and Beaugrand bridged back to form a lead group of four heading into the final round.

Stage 3

That group of four remained inseparable over the final 300m swim, with Lehair and Beaugrand first to enter transition and exit onto the bike leg for the final time.

Taylor-Brown had slipped 5 seconds behind at the start of the 4km bike while a mishap for Fullagar at the start of the bike had her drop nine seconds behind the front three.

The 1.6km run began with Beaugrand and Taylor-Brown at the front and Lehair two seconds back running with her bike helmet in hand due to a hair-helmet malfunction. Beaugrand quickly took the lead, not wanting to wait for a sprint, and disappeared ahead of Taylor-Brown and Lehair. Lehair later attempted to drop her bike helmet in the bin but missed, having to go back to avoid a penalty.

Beaugrand held onto her lead for a commanding victory, with Taylor-Brown and Lehair rounding out the podium after an incredibly exciting day of racing in Jersey.
