Shaped around strong runners, LagardÃ¨re look to be the team to beat in the menâ€™s division competitive French Grand Prix series which sees teams of athletes compete in sprint races across the country.

The womenâ€™s event saw a mass sprint finish which was won by Germanyâ€™s Anja Dittmer (Beauvais Tri) with Australiaâ€™s Erin Densham (Poissy Tri) and New Zealandâ€™s Andrea Hewitt (Beauvais Tri) completing the podium, just ahead of Jodie Swallow (Poissy Tri) from Great Britain.

Switzerlandâ€™s Magali Di Marco Mesmer took fifth for Tri Club ChÃ¢teauroux 36, just ahead of the impressive European junior triathlon champion, Emmie Charayron who was competing for Brive.

With just one week until the Madrid Dextro Energy Triathlon â€“ ITU World Championship Series, the Dunkerque event was the perfect warm up for many of the athletes with Stuart Hayes, CÃ©dric Fleureton, Daniela Ryf, Carole Peon and Jessica Harrison all featuring in the top ten.

The Deutsche Triathlon Liga (German Triathlon League) in Gladbeck saw wins for Swedenâ€™s Lisa Norden and Australiaâ€™s Brad Kahlefeldt.

Competing over a super sprint distance of 250m pool swim, 5.5km cycle and 2.5km run, Norden crossed the line in just 22:42, seven seconds ahead of local favourite Christine Pilz. Lea Brunkhorst took third.

Kahlefeldt ran out the menâ€™s winner in 20:00, five seconds ahead of Germanyâ€™s Steffen Justus. Maik Petzold took third with Daniel Unger and Christian Prochnow rounding out the top five for the host nation.

Ellos terminaron cuatro segundos por delante del campeÃ³n del mundo Sub23, el britÃ¡nico Alistair Brownlee (EC Sartrouville) quien recibiÃ³ una penalizaciÃ³n de tiempo tras la segunda transiciÃ³n. El dÃºo francÃ©s formado por Tony Moulai y Gregory Rouault redondearon las cincas primeras posiciones para su club, Poissy.

Formado por grandes corredores, LagardÃ¨re parece ser el equipo a batir en la categorÃa masculina de las Series del Gran Premio de Francia, en las que los equipos compiten en carreras sprint por todo el paÃs.

En la prueba femenina vimos un sprint masivo que ganÃ³ la alemana Anja Dittmer (Beauvais Tri) y en el que la australiana Erin Densham (Poissy Tri) y la neozelandesa Andrea Hewitt (Beauvais Tri) completaron el pÃ³dium, justo por delante de la britÃ¡nica Jodie Swallow (Poissy Tri).

La suiza Magali Di Marco Mesmer logrÃ³ la quinta posiciÃ³n para el club de TriatlÃ³n ChÃ¢teauroux 36, por delante de impresionante campeona de Europa Junior de TriatlÃ³n, Emmie Charayron, quien corrÃa para el equipo Brive.

A tan sÃ³lo una semana para la prueba de Madrid, de las Series de los Campeonatos del Mundo de TriatlÃ³n ITU Dextro Energy, la prueba de Dunkerque ha servido como puesta a punto a muchos atletas como Stuart Hayes, CÃ©dric Fleureton, Daniela Ryf, Carole Peon y Jessica Harrison, todos ellos entre los diez primeros.

En la Liga Alemana de TriatlÃ³n en Gladbeck vio como se hacÃan con la victoria la sueca Lisa Norden y el australiano Brad Kahlefeldt.

Compitiendo en una distancia sÃºper sprint de 250m de nataciÃ³n, 5,5km de ciclismo y 2,5 kilÃ³metros de carrera a pie, Norden cruzÃ³ la lÃnea de meta en un tiempo de 22:42, siete segundos por delante de la favorita local Christine Pilz. Lea Brunkhorst fue tercera.

Kahlefeldt fue el ganador en categorÃa masculina con un tiempo de 20:00, cinco segundos por delante del alemÃ¡n Steffen Justus. Maik Petzold fue tercero y Daniel Unger y Christian Prochnow redondearon las cinco primeras posiciones para el paÃs anfitriÃ³n.
