In a complete contrast to yesterday's women's race under cloudless skies, what looked like an entire year's worth of rain arrived on the Sunday morning for the start of the men's race in Montreal. Not that the weather would have much bearing on the outcome of the seventh race in the 2018 World Triathlon Series, such was the two-time reigning champ Mario Mola’s lead at the start of the penultimate race in Canada's second largest city. Wherever he finished he would still be in the lead for the Grand Final on Gold Coast in three weeks’ time, thanks in part to the absence of Vincent Luis (FRA), second in the rankings pre-race.


Yesterday ☀️ vs today
