The results are in from the French National Championships with the Junior rider Thibaut Daprela setting the fastest time of the day on the Alpe D'Huez course. Amaury Pierron, Loic Bruni and Loris Vergier sat this weekend out leaving the field wide open for the rest of the fast French downhillers that are also consistently at the top of the sport. For the Elite Men, the top five riders came within one and a half seconds of each other and only
0.63 split the top three. Although Thirion would set the fastest Elite Men's time it was Thibaut Daprela who crossed the line with the fastest time of the day, nearly a second quicker than Thirion.
In the Elite Women's race Marine Cabirou backed up her great result from Les Gets last weekend to second the national title, she had a commanding lead of the field taking over ten seconds off Mélanie Chappaz’s race run.

But both are National Champions in their respective classes.
I think you will need to show me the precedence for this or else I'll have to assume you are incorrect.
I guess that answers the question
