that was the last bundeliga race, thats what i call a course
look at 23.30 min and 53.30 and 1.40.20 i would say the closest we have seen to kitzbuehl. and there was people watching.
i do like supertri and their course was good, as in you could stay ahead on the bike solo , but the atmosphere was piss poor and the weeds on the road make london t 100 race look good lol
in short they have way more money but it just does not translate in a better product than the bundesliga that is small budget
imagine a super tri production on a course like this âŚ
I raced the Triple Challenge, which was a lot of fun and really exceeded my expectations. I volunteered Friday morning too. That gave me a better appreciation of the enormous logistical challenges of organizing an event of this size. It was a full weekend of triathlon!
Having seen it in person, when I was part of the Live Announcing in Toronto SuperTri in the swim/bike combo part of the race, I can see how the Team Format may work and be helpful. Some team were CLEARLY trying to load up the swim/bike. The problem is that with these short bikes courses, and no real terrain (Flat) itâs hard for a move off of the front to stick!
Ive literally just finished, fair play to Supertri which is the LEADING triathlon organisation/event, that has no qualms about name dropping T100 and Ironman on its broadcast!
Yep Oli Conway is starting to get me a bit excited, seems to be very well rounded, anyone know what type of background heâs from?
I had a moan about the MTR team we put out in Hamburg, he was definitely ready to be put in there!
I thought both races were great, lots of thrills and spills. Lucky for them the rain held off just enough so that it wasnt a blood bath, and I was cringing every time they went around that round about. That crash of Fanni was really weird, even on the replay I couldnt figure out what it was about.
Was too bad we were robbed of a real sprint finish in the mens, stupid penalty for goggles not in box was the only difference in the end, and probably the win..And its funny how in just a 300m swim that this leg matters more than in longer races. You see the real swimmers when everyone is really flat out and pacing is not a thing..
Best commentary, excellent racing. The only gripe I have with supertri is that race results are often affected by pretty random crashes. Other than that, itâs something I watch start to end rather than fast forward or run in the background.
This season theyâve lost a bunch of athletes, but the new arrivals are quickly introduced with all the back stories, etc.
And boy, I wouldnât like to have Michael Gilliam as my boss, but much of the broadcast is about me waiting for the next thing he says
Yep, really entertaining stuff. I wish they would collaborate even more with World triathlon to fit the Supertri season within the overall short course calendar and attract the best athletes. But the format is super nice to watch even if you have less of the stars and more of the young guns like Oli and the young dutch guy among others. Plus itâs a great pipeline for those young guys to experience the highest level and gaining confidence before being great at Olympic or sprint distance. Hayden being the case in point a few years ago.
And yes the commentary is best-in-class, and Michal Gillian is some kind of sociopath being given airtime somehow.
And the finals in Toulouse, with its quirky, sketchy bike course.
Sunday 5 October 2025

Also on TriathlonLive. âThe supertri season finale hits the streets of Toulouse on Sunday, with Vasco Vilaça and Jeanne Lehair in pole position for the titlesâ
It was explained in commentary that she wasnât sure she was given the SC, so she didnât take incase she got DQ, I donât know how they had this information though (maybe it was a guess)
