Big changes are shaking up the world of triathlon and cycling! Georgia Taylor-Brown is making a major move to cycling—what does this mean for her career and the sport? Meanwhile, watching these events just got a lot more expensive, with Eurosport shutting down in the UK and Ireland and its coverage moving to another channel at a significantly higher price. What impact will this have on fans and the future of endurance sports?
We also take a look at the newly announced T1 event—is this the PTO stepping up to compete directly with Supertri? And in the world of T100 racing, Lucy Charles-Barclay and Jelle Geens are the last two contracted athletes to be confirmed. But with Taylor Knibb dominating, we have to ask—do the female contracts even matter if no one can beat her?

I think the T100 is great and I've watched every race put on by the PTO, but I wont pay to be able to watch it. A pay wall would kill all the good they've done so far
Paula Findlay has made a comment about trying a Full Ironman race in 2025🤔 She is another athlete who will straddle 70.3 & T100. Taylor Knibb's racing schedule will be interesting to see – hoping She does not stretch herself too thin & risk injury.😎
I am keen and excited about Morgan Pearson and his riding. Coming out in the swim in the group and being able to run a road 61 min half has gotta be of benefit.
Also with the women. I hope they build a good strategy to manage TN.
