Translation of Mike (M) and Gregory (G) Basilico's Interview:

M: How did your race go today?

G: It's my first Ultra, it was in a world championship. I was starting a bit in the unknown because I didn't know how to manage this type of race. The gap increased as the race went on. I really had a lot of difficulties on the second lap but I surged far far far away at the mental level and said let's do our best and I think that today it's my mind that made the difference to go and get this beautiful victory. I was really really really looking forward to this and I think that today it's my mind that made the difference to go and get this great victory with the first World Championship title and the 6th overall title

M: How does it feel to take 1st, 2nd, and 3rd as French athletes in your country

G: Well I am really happy that we can do a triplet. Especially since it has been two years since the Italian Luca Pescullderungg won. At least now we are putting things back in place. We are in France, three frenchmen.

M: You're no stranger to World Championships, how does it feel to win the ultra?

G: What it is, is an accomplishment. It is a lot of effort and a lot of work.

Translation of Mike (M) and Jonathan (J) Garcia's Interview:

M: How did your race go today?

J: Very good, I finished third so I am very happy, in addition my French compatriots who were much stronger today, very happy with the race.

M: How does it feel to take a podium on a big stage?

J: It was the first time I have had a hard time doing it, and I wanted to but I wasn't mentally ready but I am happy

M: Total sweep from France on the podium, how does it feel to have that in your country?

J: Yeah, that is it, great! It is our home and we are on the podium, very great so we will enjoy it now

M: What did you think about the course with the obstacles today?

J: I found it a little easier than the other years. Maybe I was more fit but it felt easier. I just missed the multirig twice but otherwise everything went well

M: What is next for you for the rest of the year?

J: Other European Championships, and maybe the Trifecta World Championship at Sparta
