This week, we discuss Joe Skipper’s plans for the 2025 season, starting with Ironman New Zealand and what it means for his year ahead. Lionel Sanders is taking yet another new approach to his training—but how long until he changes it again?

We also preview WTCS Abu Dhabi, breaking down early-season picks and why, with so many big names missing, the race doesn’t feel as significant this year. Finally, India Lee, last year’s T100 Miami champion, joins us to share her thoughts on 2024 and her plans for the season ahead.

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?
