The day of reckoning has come. The long-awaited, rescheduled, 2021 Ironman World Championships will take place this weekend in St. George, Utah. This is the first time the event has taken place outside of its home in Kona. 2022 will see two World Championships, with the race returning to Kona for in October, whether it reverts back to being the permanent venue has come into question. The success of this weekend may open opportunities for a touring World Ironman Champs in line with the 70.3 World Championships.

This weekend feels like the 2022 triathlon season is well underway, with major races all over the world. Last weekend saw the start of the ETU season in Quarteria, where HUUB’s Beth Potter (GBR) claimed victory in the women’s race and Daniel Dixon (GBR) claimed Bronze in the men’s event. This weekend features Challenge Salou and Oceanside 70.3, where we have Alistair Brownlee back on a triathlon start line after surgery and a long layout from the sport.

To commemorate the launch of our iconic Thunderbirds Collection, we have put together three comic strips, in collaboration with some of HUUB’s greatest ambassadors, focussing on safety, speed and enjoyment. In the comic strip, HUUB ambassadors and Team GB athletes, Sir Jason Kenny and Neah Evans, along with Aerodynamicist, Dan Bigham, join forces with Scott, John, Virgil, Gordon, Alan and Brains to offer advice on the best ways to enjoy cycling.
