Bermuda Highlights
Louise Minchin presents highlights of the men's and women's 2018 Triathlon World Series race from Bermuda, which is hosting a World Series race for the very first time. The course starts and ends in Bermuda's vibrant capital city, Hamilton. Competitors first swim in the crystal-clear waters of Hamilton Harbour, then cycle through the island's hilly terrain before running alongside candy-coloured buildings on Hamilton's streets to the finish line.
The British Overseas Territory is the home of back-to-back women's champion and 2018 Commonwealth champion Flora Duffy. The defending men's champion is Spaniard Mario Mola, the winner of four of last year's nine series races. British duo Alistair and Jonny Brownlee are both former World Series champions and they each recorded race victories last season.
Yokohama Highlights
Action from the men and women's races at the third round of the World Triathlon Series, which takes place in Yokohama, Japan. Spaniard Mario Mola topped the overall men's standings for the second successive year in 2017, while Bermudan Flora Duffy also made it back-to-back titles in the women's contest.
Nottingham Mixed Relay Highlights
Louise Minchin introduces highlights from Nottingham, where double Olympic medallist Jonny Brownlee led the Great Britain team for the inaugural World Series mixed relay event. Brownlee was part of a four-strong mixed-gender team. Mixed relay will make its Olympic debut in 2020, and the race in Nottingham was the first of three World Triathlon Series events this year in which the best teams in the world are aiming to amass enough points to qualify for the games in Tokyo.
Leeds
Live coverage as double Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee and his brother Jonny seek a one-two finish for the third successive year at the Leeds leg of the World Triathlon Series. Louise Minchin introduces the action from near the finish line in Millennium Square, with JJ Chalmers reporting from Roundhay Park, where the bulk of the races take place.
As well as local favourites the Brownlee brothers, the British men's contingent also includes recent Commonwealth Games medallist Marc Austin, while former world champion Non Stanford, Olympic bronze medallist Vicky Holland and Commonwealth silver medallist Jess Learmonth form a powerful women's line-up. From an international standpoint, multiple world champions Flora Duffy and Mario Mola are both expected to compete.
