This week we’re back with another big episode covering all the latest from around the triathlon world.

We kick things off with the news that Maya Kingma’s Giro d’Italia was cut short after a crash ended her race early.

We then get into the new age group world championship qualification changes, a topic James is very excited to dive into, and what this could mean for the future of Ironman racing.

We discuss the significance of Ironman CEO Scott DeRue being invited to Challenge Roth to experience the event firsthand and what that could mean for the relationship between Ironman and the wider triathlon community.

There’s a full breakdown of Challenge Roth where Sam Laidlow stormed to victory in the men’s race and Laura Philipp dominated to take the women’s title.

We also recap the dramatic sprint finish at the 70.3 European Championships, preview WTCS Hamburg, and wrap up with a look ahead to 70.3 Swansea as the racing season shows no sign of slowing down.
