What a Saint-Paul starter settles before the swim wave goes

icon Frais médicaux

Road rash and a broken collarbone, up to €150,000 of care

Nobody sits up in a sprint field. Wheels overlap on the way out of a turn, two riders go down, and the bill starts with an X-ray and ends in theatre. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including surgery and the hospital stay that follows.

icon Transport et rapatriement

Hurt on the coast road, evacuated and flown home

The crash rarely happens where the ambulance is parked. It happens on the far loop, with the road still closed to traffic. Assistance arranges evacuation and repatriation at real cost, from the roadside to your own home, long-haul flight included if that is what it takes.

icon Option compétition

Chasing a sprint result under an official bib

Racing for a placing changes how hard you brake, how late you accelerate and how close you ride to the wheel in front. The Competition option covers official racing, both at Saint-Paul and across every other bib you pin on during the season.

icon Capital invalidité

Permanent damage from one crash, up to €200,000

A head injury or a wrecked shoulder can leave consequences that never fully clear, and a short race offers no protection because the speeds are identical. The permanent disability capital reaches €200,000, money that pays for adapting work and home afterwards.

Is a sprint really the safe option in April humidity?

Short does not mean gentle. The water is warm enough to feel easy, so swimmers go out too hard and reach the beach dizzy. Then comes a bike leg where nobody eases off, ridden in heavy air with salt already drying on your skin. Most injuries on a day like this come from contact in the pack or a rushed transition, not from the distance.

One April morning is a small part of a triathlon year. Dawn rides along the coast, climbs towards the heights, pool sets and evening runs add up to far more hours, and far more falls, than any race day. Year-round triathlon insurance keeps those training sessions inside the same cover as the race itself.
