Two-time world champion Vincent Luis<\/a> put in a classy performance in Bermuda today to win the penultimate race of the 2022 World Triathlon Championship Series.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Frenchman, who has been out with injury for the past two months, led from start to finish over a strong field to remind the short-course world that he\u2019s still very much at the top of his game.<\/p>\n The Spanish pair of Antonio Serrat Seoane and Roberto Sanchez Mantecon put in career-best performances to take silver and bronze, respectively.<\/p>\n Despite the likes of Alex Yee<\/strong><\/a>, Luis and Jelle Geens<\/strong><\/a> in the fold, it was the mighty Norwegian pairing of Blummenfelt and Iden that drew the crowds.<\/p>\n Between them, they currently hold every major world triathlon title \u2013 Blummenfelt with the Olympic<\/strong><\/a>, World Triathlon<\/strong><\/a> and 70.3<\/strong><\/a> (plus the world\u2019s fastest Ironman and long-distance times); Iden with the Ironman<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Having spent 2022 focussed on long course, neither of them were in the running for the World Triathlon title, both just simply enjoying being able to swing by Bermuda on the way back home from the 70.3 Worlds in St George, Utah, just last weekend.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also happy hunting ground for the Norwegian team, having had a clean sweep of the podium back in 2018<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n With series leader Hayden Wilde<\/strong><\/a> and second-placed Leo Bergere<\/strong><\/a> sitting this round out, it was Belgium\u2019s Jelle Geens who sported No.1 in Bermuda.<\/p>\n No.2 was Yee, who had one, relatively, simple goal this weekend\u00a0\u2013 to finish on the podium. Mounting any step would ensure he led the standings heading into the Grand Final in three weeks\u2019 time in Abu Dhabi, putting him in pole position to take his first world title (if he does he\u2019ll be the first British male world champion in 10 years, since Jonny Brownlee<\/strong><\/a> back in 2012).<\/p>\n Vincent Luis, meanwhile, was back after a couple of months out with injury. The Frenchman has had a difficult 2022, with a serious health scare at the start of the season almost ending his entire racing career<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n After the first non-wetsuit swim lap of 700m in a pretty choppy Atlantic, it was two-time world champion Vincent Luis who led proceedings, along with Hungary\u2019s M\u00e1rk D\u00e9vay\u00a0and Portugal\u2019s Vasco Vila\u00e7a.<\/p>\nWho raced the 2022 Bermuda WTCS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
