Pulling this across from the GJ thread - it’s not about her
If this is their ‘final answer’ I think it’s the wrong one. The enduro format is supertri’s USP and makes for great tv.
A sprint is just another sprint - the only differential is extraordinary ££ (in Jersey).
If people thought/think the PTO has an expensive formula heading for a fail, I fail to see how this will fly (after 2026). The top athletes have Pontevedra and the final WTCS Final 3 weeks later (and some with have either Weihai the week before or Karlovy Vary the week after).
Still looking for a list of the ‘top 10 +10’ who have (contracted?) byes to the final - anyone?
at the end of the day its simple the only formula that works in tri is having age group races and elite races on the same course at the same time (eventually one would assume thats where supertri and t100 will end up ). kind of surprising that the only company in tri that makes money has figured that out …
You’ll be missing nothing. Blow-dry and scamper.
Women: A top ranked athlete versus ‘development athletes’.
Men: A couple of quality plus a few challengers.
The final in Jersey would be worth watching, but if it’s behind expensive paywalls, few will see who gets the serious cash.
This looks increasingly just supertri’s content creator / website peeps screwing up. Maybe there’s internal confusion and noone to grip it.
This is what was said in January and other than announcing the final will be Jersey, there’s been nothing properly shared wrt changing from Enduro format to Sprint.
Still would like to know the list of who are ‘contracted’. They have to wear supertri suits btw, whereas the hoi poloi can wear their own, with personal sponsors displayed - I wonder how much supertri have paid 20 athletes for that?
Final: “confirmed start list: Alex Yee (GBR) and Cassandre Beaugrand (FRA) Matt Hauser (AUS), Georgia Taylor-Brown (GBR), Tim Hellwig (GER), Csongor Lehmann (HUN), Jeanne Lehair (LUX) and Jolien Vermeylen (BEL) et al”
For GTB that’ll be 6 days before IM70.3 World Champs in Nice.
After you asked, I did go looking but zero joy. Add to this that if you travel over/down/up to watch, access to Blenheim Park requires its normal admission fee.
I guess there may be some insta stuff during the two pro hour long races.
It’s a Brit ‘Super Series’ race with amateur selection benefits aiui so besides the headline names shared many of the ‘next best’ Brits will be racing.
