## Resource

Brought to you by Official Beer Co. Produced by Podfire. Lockie and Lleyton break down all the action from the Chengdu World Cup, including Luke Willian’s win, Laura Lindemann’s comeback victory, and the growing concern around just how fast World Cup racing has become. The boys dive into Australia’s mixed team relay performance, the increasing importance of relay strategy for Olympic qualification, and why Great Britain’s depth is becoming scary for the rest of the world. They also preview WTCS Yokohama, discussing the highly anticipated return of Alex Yee to triathlon racing against Matt Hauser and Miguel Hidalgo, plus their podium predictions for both elite races. The episode also covers Australian debuts for Bradley Course and Rachel Hill, Japan race experiences, relay tactics, and some controversial discussion surrounding motorbike interference and doping in triathlon.
