Nieschlag sublime. Every stage was on the money. The key for me was taking the run to Yee on the second stage, he runs so well on the curved treadmill. Neischlag, Yee, Strada

Womens final stage 1: Gaps starting to form on the bike, the important thing will be not to panic and pace the run. They key time to be near people will be the swim at the end of stage 2, where you can draft on other swimmers.

Hard to watch, learmonth looking like there’s some kind of hip injury and having to stop with only a 200m to go on stage 1. Rainsley the big mover, running strong and up into 3rd.

The experience of GTB is showing. She’s really pacing the effort, climbing up the leaderboard from 7th place. She didn’t run too hard and looks like she has a reserve for the bike to swim.

Potter normally super slick on transitions, and would expect her to run upto Bragmayer prior to the swim, however she wasn’t taking any risks running down the slippy wet steps. Advantage Bragmayer.

For some reason GTB is struggling on the run. Usually one of the top 5 best runners in the sport, and not able to match the pace at the front.

Hats off to Bragmayer, taking the Singapore win. I didn’t expect to see an athlete from the repechage make it onto the podium, never mind win it. She’s so good in the heat. Bragmayer, Potter, Taylor-Brown

Mens final. Raphael could have a 5 second lead on the swim, as it’s carnage behind him with guys swimming 4 abreast. However he lost all the lead with an error in t1, going the wrong way.

Early to say (8min in) but I think Raphael is out of this, really struggled bike/run. He was a big podium favourite going into this.

Yee & Wilde looking great. However stage 2 I’ll be watching Neischlag (18sec down) who is known to move through the field in the final stages.

Dan Dixon having a great debut. Sitting in 4th, and strong over all 3 disciplines. Neischlag is coming. Will he be able to get ahead of yee prior to the swim, and chase down Wilde.

This final stage is survival. But we’ll see a great race between Wilde & Yee and Neischlag trying to claw back a 15 secs gap. Yee & Wilde good friends but holding each other back here. This really helps Neischlag

Looks like Hayden has got this, looks very composed and still able to spike over 7 w/kg. 5 seconds between Yee & Neischlag but the second half of the crit city course suits a slightly heavier rider. Awesome transition by yee. An extra 2 seconds that could decide it.
