The first question this weekend is who could beat the unstoppable defending champion Alistair Brownlee of Great Britain. The 2009 world champion won rounds two and three of the Dextro Energy Triathlon ITU World Championship Series in Madrid and Kitzbühel, Austria, this month. His younger brother Jonathan could be the one to overcome him, as he was the runner-up in Madrid, keeping up with Alistair until a few hundred meters from the finish line. Jonathan finished in second in the series opener in Sydney ahead of his brother, who slipped running on the wet road and came in disappointing 29th. This weekend will be the third time the Brownlees clash this season. Photo: Delly Carr/Triathlon.org
