Bastia 2026: Bonetto then Lacroix at the Pierrot Lamperti International
In Bastia, Bonetto-Montoro-Molins dominated the final four before losing the final to Lacroix-Jackel-Cortes. Results, format and key takeaways.The Bastia weekend delivered a genuine competition story: a deep draw, a final four confirmed by SPORTMAG, detailed PPF results and a Bonetto–Lacroix final followed live. The subject is sufficiently sourced to be covered without invention: format, key scores, finalists and rules points are cross-checked between PPF, SPORTMAG and Boulistenaute.
1.The setting: Bastia, TOP 1500 and open triples
Boulistenaute presents the 2026 International triplette open Pierrot Lamperti as a TOP 1500 competition held in Bastia from Saturday 22 August to Sunday 23 August, with the jack thrown at 9 am, an open senior triples format and a limit of 256 teams. The organising club listed is La Boule du Prado, on Place Saint-Nicolas.
This setting matters sportingly: a TOP 1500 attracts teams capable of surviving pools, knockout games and long days. Reading the result therefore requires taking the draw’s depth into account, not just the final.
2.The confirmed final four: favourites, locals and big names
SPORTMAG confirmed a strong final four on 23 August. The triple of Mickaël Bonetto, Ludovic Montoro and Noa Molins came from a 13–12 quarter-final win over Winterstein, Delahaye and Baudino. They then met Laurent Tabone, Fernand Dubois and Louis Molinas. On the other side, Basil Jackel, Henri Lacroix and Simon Cortes were still in contention after a solid run.
In this kind of draw, tight quarter-finals matter: they reveal the ability to stay clear-headed before the last step, but they also cost energy.
| Round | Confirmed match-up | Score/source |
|---|---|---|
| Quarter-final | Bonetto-Montoro-Molins vs Winterstein-Delahaye-Baudino | 13–12, PPF |
| Semi-final | Bonetto-Montoro-Molins vs Tabone-Dubois-Molinas | 13–5, PPF |
| Semi-final | Lacroix-Jackel-Cortes vs Montet-Biaggi-Scholl | Montet-Biaggi-Scholl lost in the semi-final, PPF |

3.Bonetto-Montoro-Molins: building momentum
The Bonetto run is clear in the PPF results: a 13–12 quarter-final, then a more decisive 13–5 semi-final against Tabone, Dubois and Molinas. It is the typical sign of a team that absorbed the trap game before restoring order.
For a player reading this, the useful point is simple: after a narrow win, the best response is not to celebrate for too long but to return to a simple routine. That is often what separates teams that win a round from those able to play for the title.
4.Lacroix-Jackel-Cortes: experience and end-game management
The advertised Bonetto versus Lacroix final summed up the weekend’s tension: power, experience and tactical reading. The sources consulted establish the final and the run to the final four; the final score should be treated cautiously if no consolidated official results sheet is available in the text results.
When a live video gives a match-up but a text results page has not yet consolidated the final score, cite the match-up and the secure scores without inventing the missing detail.
5.The rules points that matter in this format
A pool-and-knockout competition demands simple habits: respect the call order, keep play moving, check the score before validation and avoid late disputes. In a very full draw, a small administrative error can matter as much as a missed boule.
Players who want to review the basics can use pétanque rules and pétanque refereeing. To follow the events, the natural hub remains official pétanque.
6.Cross-checked sources and stated limits
Sources consulted: PPF TOUR 2026 Bastia Open results, SPORTMAG’s 23 August 2026 article on the final four, the Boulistenaute page for the 2026 International Pierrot Lamperti and direct Boulistenaute/YouTube video links. These sources are enough for the setting, the quarter-finals, the semi-finals and the advertised final.
This recap therefore does not add a final score that has not been consolidated in the text results used. It is a deliberate editorial choice: a useful, bounded article is better than an embellished result.
