The BTA has announced that the Pepsi Max Royal Windsor Triathlon has again been designated as an ITU points race. The race, planned for June 18th, has progressed over the years from its solid foundations to become the premier event in the UK calendar.

Set just two weeks before the next ITU points race in Monaco on July 2nd, the Windsor event provides the perfect opportunity for those elite athletes on the world circuit to come to Europe and race in two of the world's most scenic and historic towns. Loreen Barnett, ITU Technical Director, commented: "This race fits perfectly into the ITU race programme for 2000. Perhaps one day Windsor might seek to be a World Cup event?" Over to you, John?
