00:00Now with your hands on the side.
00:31If they don't want to stop in the bucket, they will receive a penalty, a penalty of 30 seconds.
00:39They'll have to stop.
00:40They're not allowed to move until that time is up, and then they'll be able to keep going.
00:43But it's very important that all athletes put their cap, goggles, and swimsuits into the box.
00:48Come on, golf boys! Let's go! Here they go!
01:02Thank you! I love you! I want to marry you!
01:08Hey, look at that! It's Danielle DeFrancisco!
01:12Here you go! On the back end, and we make it!
01:17Australia!
01:20Get your helmet on!
01:23Now waiting for the lines of Sarah Femme Tha, here she comes down the border first lane.
01:28Come on! Let's go! Let's go!
01:30Let's go!
01:31Let's go!
01:32Let's go!
01:34Here comes Sarah Peretala.
01:36Here comes Taylor Mill.
01:38Just getting off the seat and on the seat right now.
01:41On goes to have the swing, and the swing down.
01:44And Jessica Pagliar!
01:47Great! Thank you!
01:49Woo!
01:53And it's coming forward, letting the American club come through.
01:56The American limit.
01:57Team Francesco coming across the line.
02:02Nicole Wanderkang heading out on the bike.
02:05And Natalie Van Groven, how she does.
02:13Sarah Peretala!
02:16Leading our swing through the way, until our athletes had to deal with that swell at the
02:21last minute.
02:22But she's still looking at that hands-up, that needs to grow.
02:25Yeah, like anything can happen here, Kate, well, I want to talk about something that just
02:29happened right in front of us, and we get our next athlete out on course at the moment.
02:33Come on, come on, let's get her to see first.
02:36She's out.
02:37Here comes Taylor Mill from the USA.
02:40Heading out right now, facing a little bit of a deficit.
02:44And giving off now for lots of films.
02:48And this is Chloe Hoffman!
02:51One of our World Cards today!
02:53This is the 1% winner for 4 India.
02:59So, we have another one of our athletes heading out on the bike course right now.
03:03Come on ladies and gentlemen, give her a big round of applause right now.
03:06Here she goes on the left.
03:09And Greg and William from Australia, heading out on the bike course, facing a couple minutes
03:14of deficit right here.
03:15And it is this, let's go up to right now.
03:18Let's go up to right now!
03:20Well, guys, here she comes.
03:23This is Ellie Sawter!
03:25So how are you here?
03:26I'm going to bring you to the best!
03:29And our team will have a series, Ellie!
03:31Woo!
03:32Woo!
03:33So, we're all coming through from France as well.
03:35While the films head down under the bike course.
03:38We're after the Netherlands.
03:39They're followed by number 10, Chloe Hunter.
03:42Just getting the foot into the bike car now, into the shoe.
03:45And on to the course she goes.
03:50A very interesting swim that we knew was going to be a little bit stretched out there today.
03:55Kate, were you surprised at all?
03:57I think that's what we've seen yesterday and our discussions.
04:10We're going to see you in 10K's time when they come back around after loop one.
04:17Good job!
04:21Claire just got nutrition into her body and she makes her way out on the lean lap here.
04:27This is 2K's time when they come back to Brazil's paradise and the whole career.
04:33One of the past 7 months to go.
04:3580K's, 10K's.
04:36Put a lap here.
04:37Jessica Pulligan riding along at 43.7K an hour.
04:42Much faster than the rest of the competition at 42.1K at this point in time.
04:47So, Pulligan is pulling away in the front of the race here in the 2026 Gold Coast V100.
04:55And if you are anywhere near our spring, you can't have a lot of fun at coverage.
05:00It also gives you some very interesting information about the athletes.
05:04Right now, as Greg mentioned, we were able to see how fast they were riding.
05:08We do get the kilometres per hour and the miles per hour for some of our international business.
05:13But Jess seems to be holding her room.
05:16And Imogen's the one that's starting to do some pitch.
05:19Yeah, I'd say so.
05:20Imogen's one of those very strong bikers.
05:22But don't forget about Taylor.
05:24I mean, she did have a deficit of less than a minute heading out there.
05:27So, go and negotiate these big speed bumps along the Esplanade here.
05:32Now, if you look down to the northern end of the course.
05:35Oh, there goes one of our other side.
05:37Yes, I present an hour from Austria.
05:40Just heading out there.
05:41So, three more athletes heading out onto the bike course here today.
05:45So, ladies and gentlemen, we're just going out on the line.
05:48If you cast your eyes down the Esplanade, you may see our leader.
05:53That is Jessica Fuliger.
05:55She's on her wing back to complete lap number one.
05:59So, Fuliger, the rookie.
06:01She's in the lead at the moment.
06:02Fifth place in the World Championship Triathlon Series last year's Grand Final.
06:06And now showing what her debut race is all about.
06:10This is one of the champions of the future, ladies and gentlemen.
06:13You make sure that you recognise this name because she is going towards stardom this year.
06:20That's just my opinion.
06:22Imogen Simmons is in second place at 1.04.
06:25Losing a little bit of time on our leader.
06:27There goes Taylor Mare from the U.S.A.
06:29Now she's up into the top three places.
06:32Rebecca Pyre is up there as well.
06:35Ben Gordon is down three places for the middle place.
06:38And Jean Francesco is at 1.13.
06:40By the last group end.
06:43With Simmons on the lead through Sarah Ferrer.
06:45And that is ten places.
06:48They are one minute and six to one minute and twenty-nine behind our leader.
06:53Ten ladies within one minute and thirty seconds.
07:00Thank you, Professor.
07:02Thank you, Professor.
