HAMBURG WASSER WORLD TRIATHLON SERIES (M)
Vincent Luis defends
World title on new-look
Hamburg course
The fields were deep with talent and
experience and the races always looked
like being hugely unpredictable given
the past 6 months, but it was to be
France's Vincent Luis who delivered a
composed sprint-distance performance
in the men's race to land a brilliant
second consecutive world title at the
2020 Hamburg Wasser World Triathlon.
An excellent swim put him in a front bike
pack, but it was on the run that the 2019
champion was able to really pull away
with only teammate Leo Bergere and
Portuguese Vasco Vilaça for company,
the 20-year-old holding on for a brilliant
silver in only his second WTS outing.
"I knew I was in good shape and I've
spent the last six weeks doing a lot of
sessions with some of the best guys in
the world," said a thrilled Vincent Luis.
"I swam good and when you have the
two Brownlee brothers with you, you
always have a good chance to get away.
I had the two young guys with me
on the run so I was a bit scared but
pushed the pace with one lap to go."
