Can Anyone Beat Hauser or Beaugrand? | Unfunded S2 EP21 (EP56)

This episode is sponsored by Official Beer Co.

Produced by Podfire.

The boys kick off with stories from training, birthday celebrations, and a hilarious travel nightmare after a fellow triathlete almost missed his flight to Europe. They then discuss the surprisingly low profile of the Commonwealth Games before breaking down the newly announced 2027 World Triathlon calendar, including the rebranded T50 World Tour, new venues, and questions surrounding the championship format and points system.

Attention then turns to the London World Triathlon Championship Series race, where Matt Hauser and Cassandre Beaugrand continued their incredible dominance with another commanding victory. Lockie and Lleyton analyse Hauser's remarkable consistency, Beaugrand's control of the women's field, the current World Series standings, key crashes involving Braden Mercer and Tilly Anema, and what it all means heading towards the season finale.

The episode wraps up with previews and podium predictions for the Rio World Cup, discussing the athletes to watch and whether anyone can challenge the established favourites.
