Lionel Sanders and Viktor Zyemtsev have already secured their Kona slots in July. In addition to them, there is a number of athletes looking to qualify in August:

• Paul Ambrose (3.095 but already 5 results – might be okay with a Top5, safe with a Top3 result)
• Matthew Russell (2.540 but 5 results), Jordan Rapp (2.180), Trevor Delsaut (2.065) Justin Daerr (1.840) – they probably need to win for a slot

With Mary Beth Ellis, Liz Blatchford and Liz Lyles the top three seeded are already safe for a Kona slot. A few others might still make it in August with a good result, but each of them already has five results:

• Sarah Piampiano (4.410 points, probably okay with a Top 5)
• Jessie Donavan (2.945), Jackie Hering (2.500) – they probably need a win for a slot

Winning Odds

Male Race Participants

Based on the previous results, Jordan Rapp is the clear favorite to win Mont Tremblant. He has taken a long time after his DNF in Texas to be in peak shape. Viktor has just won IM Canada in Whistler, he might be a DNF or at least a little tired. Paul Ambrose (DNF), Justin Daerr (3rd) and Matthew Russell (7th) were also racing in Canada:

• Jordan Rapp: 50% (1-1)
• Viktor Zyemtsev: 22% (4-1)
• Paul Ambrose: 13% (7-1)
• Justin Daerr: 9% (11-1)
• Matthew Russell: 2% (46-1)
• Trevor Delsaut: 2% (59-1)

Female Race Participants

With Mary Beth Ellis, Liz Blatchford and Liz Lyles there are three strong Kona contenders looking for their next Ironman win before racing in Kona. Carrie Lester is coming off a second place at Challenge Roth and Jessie Donavan was 6th in Canada. Sara Gross and Rebekah Keat are making a comeback after a long break from racing:

• Mary Beth Ellis: 34% (2-1)
• Liz Blatchford: 31% (2-1)
• Elizabeth Lyles: 11% (8-1)
• Carrie Lester: 9% (10-1)
• Sara Gross: 6% (16-1)
• Rebekah Keat: 5% (19-1)
• Jessie Donavan: 2% (63-1)

Winning Odds

Male Race Participants

Patrik Nilsson has declined his Kona slot in order to focus on a winning his home race – he is the favorite to win. But there are a few athletes that will make things hard for Patrik, among them Dougal Allen (3rd and 2nd at Challenge Wanaka) and Guilherme Manocchio and Domenico Passuello who are looking for KPR points to qualify in August.

• Patrik Nilsson: 37% (2-1)
• Dougal Allan: 22% (4-1)
• Guilherme Manocchio: 18% (4-1)
• Domenico Passuello: 14% (6-1)
• Mauro Baertsch: 4% (24-1)
• David Naesvik: 3% (29-1)

Female Race Participants

Last year’s second place Erika Csomor will try to improve last year’s result. Astrid Stienen is looking for some more Kona points and would love to contend at least for the podium. 

• Erika Csomor: 57% (1-1)
• Astrid Stienen: 19% (4-1)
• Camilla Lindholm: 19% (4-1)
• Charisa Wernick: 2% (47-1)
• Evi Neuscheler: 2% (61-1)

Race Conditions

With an adjustment of -7:45, Maastricht seems to be a pretty slow course: After a “normal” swim, the bike was slow and also seemed to take a lot out of athlete’s legs for the run.

Male Race Results

Bas Diederen had a solid day, the best bike and run allowed him to win the race by eight minutes over countryman Mark Oude Bennink. Third place went to Alberto Casadei who scored 1280 more Kona points, but his new score of 3.065 is probably not enough for an August slot.

Female Race Results

Yvonne Van Vlerken won her “home race”, but after a good swim she was a bit slower than normal – probably a sign of how tired she was after winning Challenge Roth four weeks ago. Second and third place went to two more Dutch girls, Sarissa De Vries and Carla Van Rooijen.
