What’s next for Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee?

At the recent Triathlon Show: London we took the opportunity to sit down for an in-depth chat with the Brownlee brothers (www.thebrownleebrothers.com).

While Alistair secured a Silver medal in that fantastic race at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship, both regard their 2018 season’s overall as a poor year by their previous standards, impacted by injuries, illness and poor form.

Jonathan started 2019 on a much firmer footing by winning Super League Triathlon Singapore and Alistair confirmed that he is currently fit, healthy and has had a consistent winter of training.

What are their plans for 2019 and where does Tokyo 2020 fit into that? Watch the video below for the answers to those questions and plenty more.
