A second Paris event for 2024/25 took place on 18th, 19th and 20th April 2025 at the iconic Grand Palais.
The event was also be one of the qualification races for the new Pro Doubles Elite 15 World Championship. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers in the Male & Female Pro Doubles category qualified for the World Championships in Chicago in June 2025.
Read on for the main results of the weekend…
Men’s Pro Doubles
A stacked Men’s Pro Doubles line-up included some big names from the sport racing together – such as Tim Wenisch/Jannik Czapla; Graham Halliday/Jon Wynn; Beau Wills/Eugenio Bianchi; Lukas Storath/Tiago Lousa; Alan Cao/Thomas Fry; Hidde Weersma/Thierry Willenburg; Jake Williamson/Aaron Travers and many more!
Most of these raced in the first wave which set off at an electric pace, with Beau/Eugenio coming out on top, followed by Tim/Jannik than Hidde/Thierry. However a later wave saw Roberto Viciedo Gimeno and Luis Garcia Rubio come through in a time of 00:50:29 – taking the overall win by 2 seconds! There was therefore heartbreak for Alan/Thomas who finished 4th (00:50:55) and Hidde/Thierry who slipped down to 5th (00:50:56).
The final results were:
1. Roberto Viciedo Gimeno and Luis Garcia Rubio – 00:50:27
2. Beau Wills and Eugenio Bianchi – 00:50:29
3. Jannik Czapla and Tim Wenisch – 00:50:42
