Supertri Toulouse Grand Final 2025 preview

The 2025 Supertri Triathlon League has delivered a riveting season of high-octane and volatile racing across three events in Toronto, Chicago, and Jersey. 

With only the Grand Final in Toulouse remaining, the battles for the individual and team titles will go down to the wire. 

Before starting our Supertri Toulouse preview, let’s recap the action so far marked by breakthrough performances, shock upsets and close-fought competition. 

What’s happened in the Supertri League in 2025?

Supertri Jersey

The most recent Supertri event in Jersey saw Jeanne Lehair of Luxembourg triumph and climb to the top of the overall standings.

Hungary’s Csongor Lehmann (Stars & Stripes) claimed a dramatic first-ever Supertri victory and also became the highest ranked overall male. 

Supertri Toronto

The season kicked off in Toronto, where Great Britain’s Olympic champion Alex Yee made a triumphant return to the discipline, winning for the Brownlee Racing team. 

In the women’s race, Belgian debutant Jolien Vermeylen, also representing Brownlee Racing, stunned the field to take victory.

Supertri Chicago

The action then moved to Chicago, where a new set of winners emerged. 

Spain’s Alberto González Garcia of Podium Racing took a surprise victory in the men’s race, while Jeanne Lehair (Podium Racing) claimed her first win of the season, setting the stage for her later success in Jersey.

Current standings – tight at the top

After three rounds of competition, the overall standings highlight the close nature of this year’s racing.

Indeed, only eight points separate the first five women, while seven divide the men’s top five.

In the three standard rounds, the top 15 finishers receive between 15 and 1 points in descending order. 

The Toulouse Grand Final sees a change to the scoring system. Winners gain 20 points and runners-up get 18 with 16 and 14 awarded for third and fourth respectively. 

Between fifth to 15th place, points are allocated from 12 to 2. 

Women’s overall standings

1. Jeanne Lehair (Podium Racing) 30 points
2. Léonie Périalut (Podium Racing) 28 points
3. Georgia Taylor-Brown (Crown Racing) 27 points
4. Jolien Vermeylen (Brownlee Racing) 27 points
5. Fanni Szalai (Brownlee Racing) 22 points

Men’s overall standings

1. Csongor Lehmann (Stars & Stripes) 29 points
2. Alberto González Garcia (Podium Racing) 27 points
3. Vasco Vilaça (Crown Racing) 27 points
4. John Reed (Podium Racing) 24 points
5. Ricardo Batista (Crown Racing) 22 points 

Team standings

The team competition has been fiercely contested throughout the season, with Podium Racing currently holding the top spot.

1. Podium Racing 263 points
2. Crown Racing 225 points 
3. Brownlee Racing 190 points

The increased points on offer in the final race mean that nothing is decided until the athletes cross the finish line for the last time.

For the overall win, the team will earn $350,000, while the runner-up will win $250,000, third place $150,000 and fourth $100,000.

The top five overall women and men will win a cash prize ranging from $50,000 to $10,0000.

An additional $3,000 will be awarded to the champions of the Swim, Bike and Run Leagues, which recognise the faster athletes in each discipline. 

As ever, there’s also between $15,000 and $1,000 on offer for the top five women and men in Toulouse.

The Women’s title race: a four-way fight

The women’s competition promises a nail-biting finish with four athletes separated by just three points. 

Jeanne Lehair currently leads with 30 points. She is closely trailed by Léonie Périault on 28 points, and the formidable Brit Georgia Taylor-Brown and breakthrough star Jolien Vermeylen tied on 27 points.

It is even conceivable that the young Hungarian in fifth, Fanni Szalai, could leapfrog them all. 

The contenders 

• Jeanne Lehair – The current leader has shown consistency and a winner’s instinct. Her back-to-back victories in Chicago and Jersey have put her in the driver’s seat. To secure the title, she will need another strong performance in Toulouse.
• Léonie Périault – The Frenchwoman’s strong showing in Jersey has propelled her into serious contention. With the support of a home crowd in Toulouse, she will be a major threat. A victory in the final could see her overtake Lehair for the overall win.
• Georgia Taylor-Brown – The reigning Supertri champion has the pedigree. Her experience and tactical nous in the tense final will be invaluable. A win in Toulouse would likely see her retain her crown.
• Jolien Vermeylen – The surprise winner of the opening round in Toronto, Vermeylen has proven she can compete with the very best. While a slight outsider compared to the other three, a podium finish in the Grand Final could be enough to snatch the overall title if results go her way.

Our prediction

While any of the top four could realistically win, Jeanne Lehair’s recent form and current points advantage make her the slight favorite.

However, the experience and proven championship pedigree of Georgia Taylor-Brown cannot be discounted, and she will be pushing hard to defend her title. 

The home advantage and supportive crowds for Léonie Périault could count for something too. 

The Men’s title race: a tussling trio 

The men’s overall title is also a close-fought affair, with three athletes emerging as the primary contenders heading into the Toulouse Grand Final. 

Csongor Lehmann currently leads the standings, closely pursued by Vasco Vilaça and Alberto González Garcia.

The contenders

• Csongor Lehmann – The current series leader, Lehmann’s victory in Jersey has put him in a strong position. His consistent performances throughout the season have been impressive. A podium finish in Toulouse would likely be enough to secure his first Supertri overall title.
• Vasco Vilaça – Just two points adrift of Lehmann, Vilaca has been a consistent threat at the front of the pack. His bold tactics makes him a danger in any format, and he will be looking for nothing less than a win in the final to claim the championship.
• Alberto González Garcia – The winner in Chicago, González Garcia has demonstrated his raw talent. While he will need a strong performance in the final and for the results of his rivals to fall in his favor, he remains a dangerous dark horse for the overall crown.

Our prediction

Csongor Lehmann’s current lead gives him a slight edge.

But the pressure from Vasco Vilaça will be relentless and the Spaniard’s aggressive racing style could see him triumph in the high-stakes final. 

Meanwhile, González Garcia has already won this year, so who’s to say he can’t pull off another upset next weekend?
