Team Germany, who starred on home soil last time in Hamburg, top the list for today’s Mixed Team Relay at WTCS Sunderland.

France dominated the individual action on Saturday with a one-two in both the men’s and women’s races and are clearly one of the favourites.

They were among the teams who made changes when the final line-ups had to be submitted, with Cassandre Beaugrand coming in as Leonie Periault hadn’t recovered in time after a fall yesterday.

New WTCS men’s series leader Hayden Wilde also steps up for Dylan McCullough, having originally been rested by New Zealand.

Beth Potter, who has landed two WTCS races this season, has joined up with Team GB and will race the second leg for them while Jess Fullagar – clear-cut winner of the Super Series race in Sunderland yesterday, anchors them in place of Olivia Mathias.

And the 2016 Rio Olympics winner Gwen Jorgensen moves from leg four to leg two in the United States’ bid for glory.

It should be quite a race and here’s your full rundown…
