Courses on the road. Marseille – Cassis: Félix Bour on the podium
Marseilles – Cassis
Sunday
This time, he was not the first to cross the finish line in Cassis … But Félix Bour – currently focused on his “marathon preparation” – nevertheless achieved a very solid performance on Sunday morning on the roads of “Marseille – Cassis” (20 km). Third (in 1h01’42) of a successful edition by another Frenchman, Hassan Chahdi (1h00’43), just behind the Ethiopian Teressa Nyakora (1h01’29)… a boy very close to “the hour” on a half-marathon (1h00’12 this year in Barcelona).
With a new record
“I am very happy to get on the podium again with a new personal record at stake”, commented the Barisien on social networks, sportingly hailing the “imperial victory” of his compatriot (seventeenth of the World Championships of Eugene on marathon).
The results (20km): 1. H. Chahdi (FRA) 1h00’43, 2. T. Nyakora (ETH) 1h01’29, 3. F. Bour (FRA) 1h01’42, 4. J. Koech (KEN) 1h01’49, 5. F. Muhitira (RWA) 1h02’13, 6. D. Perrillat (FRA) 1h03’20, 7. N. Navarro (FRA) 1h03’26, 8. B.-M. Lingokal (KEN) 1h03’29…
