Super League Triathlon Mallorca 2018 preview
A quick turnaround (aided by a private plane), means that the athletes of Super League Triathlon have made the back-to-back switch from Malta to Mallorca for two days of racing this coming weekend.

Vincent Luis and Katie Zaferes were the winners in both Jersey and Malta. Can they go into their winter break – before the final race in Singapore next February – with three consecutive wins? Right now they are certainly looking the favourites to collect the $100,000 2018/19 series first prize.
The local fans will be disappointed with the news this week that the three-time and reigning ITU Triathlon World Champion, Mario Mola, will not be racing on his home island.

While Katie Zaferes will start as the women’s favourite, her husband Tommy Zaferes has secured a late call-up and his goals are a little less lofty…
It’s fitting that the announcement that I am racing @SuperLeagueTri Mallorca is on Halloween because there is a strong possibility I am going to die.
