On the weekend of May 17–18, 2025, the triathlon world witnessed something special. It was more than just a race weekend — it was a showcase of determination, strategy, and the pursuit of excellence. From the volcanic roads of IRONMAN Lanzarote, to the hills of IRONMAN 70.3 Aix-en-Provence, and the rainy streets of WTCS Yokohama, Team CyclingCeramic proved once again that performance isn’t just about power — it’s about trust.
IRONMAN Lanzarote: Power Through the Volcano
IRONMAN Lanzarote: Power Through the Volcano
If there’s one race that tests your resilience, it’s IRONMAN Lanzarote. The island greeted our athletes with fierce winds, intense climbs, and burning asphalt. But in the middle of those brutal conditions, our athletes didn’t just survive — they dominated.
A clean sweep of the men’s podium at IRONMAN Lanzarote wasn’t just a result — it was a statement. Preparation, grit, and technical advantage came together in a perfect storm of performance. From Anthony Roux’s record-breaking bike split to strong performances by Navarro and Guerard, our athletes made the most of every meter.
Anthony Roux delivered the fastest bike split of the day, a reminder that strength is nothing without smooth, optimized transmission. Thomas Navarro fought his way into the top 10, and though Justine Guerard isn’t in the podium shot, she showed incredible resilience under the island’s extreme conditions.
WTCS Yokohama: Against the World’s Best
WTCS Yokohama: Against the World’s BestWhile Europe battled heat, in Yokohama the skies opened and poured down on the World Triathlon Championship Series event. But rain didn’t stop Ricardo Batista.
With poise and power, he raced among the world’s best — finishing in 7th place at WTCS Yokohama, showing his place is right there at the top.
His performance was a masterclass in control and focus, the kind that comes from knowing you’re equipped with gear that won’t let you down.
☀️ 70.3 Aix-en-Provence: A French Masterclass
In the heart of southern France, the IRONMAN 70.3 Aix-en-Provence pro field was packed with contenders. But from the start, it was clear that Marjolaine Pierré had one goal: the top step of the podium.
Her dominant performance brought her the win in front of a home crowd, confirming her spot at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Marbella. Nikki Bartlett followed with a strong top-5 finish, while Wilhelm Hirsch and Antony Costes represented in the men’s field with powerful efforts.
Meanwhile, Anne-Sophie Pierre made the smart move to focus on the T100 Triathlon World Tour, where she’s preparing to race in San Francisco and Vancouver.
🛠️ Beyond Results: What Our Athletes Really Ride
Glory doesn’t come by accident — it’s built, piece by piece, long before race day. And this weekend, almost all of our triathletes rode with the CyclingCeramic AERO cage or the OSPW PRO. Why? Because when every watt matters, friction isn’t an option.
These pulley systems are built for race conditions — fast, quiet, aerodynamic, and reliable. Whether on volcanic climbs, rainy city circuits or tight French descents, our gear helped make every pedal stroke count.
It’s not about marginal gains anymore — it’s about making sure your energy translates directly into motion. That’s the CyclingCeramic advantage.
🏁 Conclusion: Purpose Over Pressure
Whether crossing the line first or grinding it out deep in the field, our athletes ride with purpose. They train hard. They think smart. And they trust every component of their setup.
The weekend of May 17–18, 2025, across IRONMAN Lanzarote, IRONMAN 70.3 Aix-en-Provence, and the WTCS Yokohama, wasn’t just about results. It was a clear reflection of who we are and what we stand for:
Passion. Innovation. Performance without compromise.
