Vincent Luis and Katie Zaferes to dominate Super League Triathlon again?
Full details of the athletes racing Super League Mallorca
The third of three major triathlon events in Mallorca takes place this coming weekend, with arrival of Super League Triathlon Mallorca.
Taking place in the fishing village of Porto Cristo – with the athletes staying at the Rafa Nadal Sport Centre – the two days of racing comprises the now familiar Triple Mix, along with a new addition, Sprint Enduro.
Sunday’s Sprint Enduro takes place in two parts – a standard swim/bike/run ‘heat’ on Sunday morning (the athletes randomly split into two heats, no seedings), and then a final on Sunday afternoon which will be a swim/bike/run/swim/bike/run Enduro. The interesting thing here is that only the top four finishers in each heat (plus the two fastest losers), go through to the final ten.

The ‘Group of Death’?!
That heat draw this morning proved VERY interesting – and rather good news for Jonathan Brownlee. He was drawn in Heat One, while Heat Two includes pretty much all of the other big names (eight of the top nine finishers from The Equalizer in Malta), Vincent Luis (FRA), Henri Schoeman (RSA), Richard Murray (RSA), Leo Bergere (FRA), Hayden Wilde (NZL), Tyler Mislawchuk (CAN), Ben Kanute (USA), Andreas Schilling (DEN), Jonas Schomburg (GER) and Matthew Sharpe (CAN).
JB will surely have a comfortable morning (probably alongside Marten Van Riel (BEL), Joao Perreira (POR) and Igor Polyanskiy (RUS)), while the firepower in Heat Two will LIKELY mean that the first six there will join them? Some quality athletes will not even get to start on Sunday afternoon in Stage 2.
