Kiwi Hayden Wilde has continued his impressive form at the World Triathlon Championship Series after claiming another victory in Hamburg on Sunday (NZ time).
The 24-year-old was off the pace after the swim, but made up for time on the bike, before running away with it at a time of 53 minutes and 10 seconds, three seconds ahead of Australia's Matt Hauser.
His win in Hamburg in his second of the series, after claiming a maiden victory in Leeds, to go along with his silvers in Yokohama and Montreal.
"It was pretty hard to get through everyone today. It was actually full-on on the bike, everyone wasn't holding up, so I just had to stay calm and stay in position, knowing that we had a good group to catch up to the front [cyclists]. It played out pretty well," Wilde said after the race.
"I had a rusty T2, a lot of people coming out at the same time. It actually worked in my favour a little bit as going out there was a bit of a headwind, so I got to tuck into a few athletes until we got the tailwind on the run."
"At about half-way, I kicked into attack, tried to hold on, and got the win today."
