France won the Mixed Team Relay at the 2023 UEC European Cyclo-cross Championships in Pont-Château on Friday afternoon. Great Britain finished 33 seconds off the winning time of 42:47 to earn silver, and Belgium stopped the clock another 34 seconds back for bronze.
From the lineup of five nations at the inaugural event, Czech Republic finished two seconds ahead of Italy to round out the final results.
The 21-year-old Rémi Lelandais put France into second place riding the second lap after men’s junior rider Aubin Sparfel, and 17-year-old Célia Gery continued the pressure with her lap. The balance of the team - Electa Gallezot, Hélène Clauzel and Joshua Dubau - combined to give France the gold.
