Marceau éjecté du podium

Billeau moves to third
While the win in the men's race appears to be pretty much in Zamora Perez's hands, Olivier Marceau was gamely hanging on to a podium spot - right now, though, Simon Billeau has grabbed that - he's in third at the end of three laps.

Here are the splits:
Marcel ZAMORA PEREZ (#1) currently leads the men's field. Behind him:
* Hervé FAURE (#2) at 7:23
* Simon BILLEAU (#8) at 13:19
* Olivier MARCEAU (#5) at 14:40

WOMEN:
While Christel ROBIN (#49) currently leads the women, she's being pursued by:
* Tine DECKERS (#44) at 3:03

Louison court toujours son pointage ne bouge plus ???????

Ils ont des problèmes de pointage.

Forzaaa GJG83 !!!! il va pas tarder à poser le vélo

Alonso-McKernan hangs in for fifth
* Clemente ALONSO-MC KERNAN (#24) led the swim today, but then dropped back during the run. He's now made a reappearance in the top five - he's in fifth, 15:45 behind Zamora Perez.

Il va bientôt croquer Marceau.

Et pendant ce temps Swiss Miss 2 pédale, pédale...

Positions au Semi:
Dogana moves to third
Last year's champion, Martina Dogana from Italy, continues to gain time on the women ahead of her, but unless Deckers and Robin really struggle through the second half of the run she'll have a tough time defending here today. She is gaining time, though - so Deckers and Robin are going to have to keep moving reasonably well to hold Dogana off.

Through the first half of the run, Christel ROBIN (#49) continues to lead.
* Tine DECKERS (#44) is at 3:03 - she's gaining time rapidly on the French woman.
* Martina DOGANA (#31) at 17:34
* Alexandra LOUISON (#33) at 19:50

Et voilà c'est fini pour elle:

Robin loses the lead
Christel Robin has led for so much of this race, but couldn't hold on to the lead through the second half of the run.

Our new race leader is Tine Deckers.

Now we'll see if Robin can hold off last year's women's champion Martina Dogana for second.

Waiting on Marcel!
It looks like Marcel Zamora Perez is going to break the course record he set here in 2006.

That old record was 8:33:56 ...

Record en vue.

Voilà:
A new record!
Marcel Zamora Perez just set a new course record here at Ironman France - his 8:30:06 beat his old course record by almost three minutes.

De nouveau 2nd:

Faure gets second in 8:40:55
The Frenchman has managed another top finish here in Nice!

Et oui.
