For his comeback, winner Vincent Lewis at WTCS in Bermuda

French trio player Vincent Lewis won Sunday at WTCS World Station in Bermuda and is back on top after a tough season. “Last year I thought I was done, now I’m back“, the two-time world champion (2019 and 2020) on the International Federation’s microphone. “I got hurt again, I’m surrounded by great people. I believed in myself, it was the least I could do. Anything can happen from year to year.»

Vincent Lewis was a midsummer victim of a ruptured Achilles tendon, and missed the Cagliari stage in early October as well as the European Championships in August in Munich. The Visoul native beat Spaniards Antonio Serrat Siwan and Roberto Sanchez Manticón on Sunday. This success is an illustration of a dark season, also marked by racing tachycardias in the spring that required surgery.

Leo Berger will be looking for the world title

It also allows him to return to the standings (5th, +2) before the Grand Final in Abu Dhabi (November 23-26) where he will be chasing another Frenchman, European champion Leo Berger, the world title behind current leader, New Zealand Hayden Brown, absent from the sponsor role in Bermuda . Briton Alex Yee took advantage of his fifth place in the archipelago to move to second place. Norway’s Christian Blumenfelt, who has mainly competed in the ironclad triathlon this season, finished sixth on Sunday.

“We have the Grand Final, where Leo Berger plays for the title. I feel good in swimming and cycling, because running is not yet, but if I can help him, I will do it as much as I can, as well as the whole French teamLouis promised.
