Macca's Predictions: Hauser To Beat Wilde? Is Beaugrand Too Strong For GTB?

Macca’s Predictions: Hauser To Beat Wilde? Is Beaugrand Too Strong For GTB?

After a blockbuster start to the Super League Triathlon’s Championship Series in London, the roadshow heads to Munich’s Olympiapark for Round 2.

With the Enduro format in play – basically three rounds of continuous swim-bike-run – and a challenging hill run into the water for the second and third swims, there is room for plenty of drama.

Chris McCormack got five of the six podium athletes correct in his London predictions, so we asked him to go again for Munich.

women: can GTB get the better of beaugrand?

I think we will see the same three on the podium as in London, but in a different order.

After seeing the results in London, Taylor Spivey is in great form but I have to go with Cassandre Beaugrand again. The Enduro is a format that really suits her style and her strengths.

Georgia Taylor-Brown will need to find her feet, but that is something she can definitely do, and assuming she manages it then she will come second as I think Beaugrand may be a little bit too strong on that last run.

I expect Non Stanford to be a little bit closer, but I think Spivey will round out the podium.

men: Matt hauser on course for a first slt win?

The form guide in London showed that Matty Hauser is in good form but in Munich with the Enduro it will all depend on his run and how he paces it. It’s also important on that second and third swims that he isolates Hayden Wilde.

I think Matt will get his first win of the Series outkicking Hayden into second.
