-

-
It's a great morning in Alcudia. 18 degrees Celsius and a fast race ahead. 5 minutes to the start!
-
3 to go.
-
Great perspective for all age group athletes: The pro athletes are ready to start - it's heating up as well for the huge age group field. One minute.
-
And they are off!
-
Let's have a look at the swim course in the Bay of Alcudia.
-
What a pro field today in Alcudia: Defending champion Andreas Dreitz started into the race fit and with a lot of confidence, but he faces super strong opponents. In the race we have Ivan Rana (ESP), Michael Raelert (GER), Jan van Berkel (SUI), Manuel Küng (SUI), Mike Aigroz (SUI), David Plese (SLO), Joe Gambles (AUS), Ritchie Nicholls (GBR), MAxim Kriat (UKR) - and a lot more very fast guys.
-
We don't have a good internet connection in the Tramuntana mountains, but we have some strong protagonists racing hard: Manuel Kueng is still in the lead, Andreas Dreitz about 400 meters behind through Km 60.
-
Women's race: Daniela Ryf is consequently hitting the gas at the front. She is at Km 50. About 2 minutes behind we have Julia Gajer and a hammering Dutch behind her. Yvonne van Vlerken seems to make up ground on the strong German.
-
Manuel Kueng is making his way to one of the beautiest villages in Mallorca. Muro is ahead - and he looks great.
-
Flying Dutchwoman - that's a good call for Yvonne van Vlerken. She really hammered through the technical downhill section towards Caimari. Still in third, but eventually on the way.
-
Pro women on the way into T1.
-
Behind the first three men we have an interesting German duo: Johann Ackermann and Patrick Lange are making their way mor or less together on the bike.
-
Manuel Kueng has passed the 70-k-mark. Still about 400 meters ahead of Andreas Dreitz.
-
Through 60 km Yvonne van Vlerken has made up some more ground on Julia Gajer - she is 250 meters behind her. Still in the lead and looking stong and great: Daniela Ryf.
-
To all Mallorca fans: Next village is Sa Pobla. To all result fans: We will have the next timing there...
-
Andreas Dreitz said at the press conference that he fills ready to defend his title. At the moment it looks like it's on a good way for him. Manuel Kueng is a very strong athlete, but Dreitz seems to be the better runner.
-
Seems to be time for the great move for Andreas Dreitz. We hear that made an attack for the lead.
-
Andreas Dreitz is in the lead.
-
Yvonne van Vlerken is about 100 meters behind Julia Gajer in third place.
-
We had a wrong information - Andreas Dreitz has made his move way earlier in the race.
-
Andreas Dreitz' lead seems to be really huge.
-
6 minutes lead for Andreas Dreitz - the timing mats tell the truth.
-
And Antony Costes brings a group of eight one minute behind Manuel Kueng through the timing point.
