Three in a row for Tom Vickery in Mallorca
A quick update from the third edition of the Long Course Weekend Mallorca. Fourth overall in the standings ahead of Monday’s marathon, Great Britain’s Tom Vickery has won a third consecutive LCW title, courtesy of overall victory in the marathon and a finishing time of 2:34:05.
The racing is still in progress and results to be ratified, but provisionally I make him the overall winner by just 49 SECONDS, following Saturday’s 3.8km swim and Sunday’s 172km bike ride.
