Winning Odds
Male Race Participants
Cam Brown is the big name on the start list, but it’s hard to predict how he will do after a long season (including a recent win at MetaMan and declining his Kona slot). Luke Bell is coming back from an injury (and DNFs in Western Australia, Australia and Mont Tremblant), so Fredrik Croneburg has a much better winning chance than his rating would imply.
- Cameron Brown: 64% (1-1)
- Luke Bell: 17% (5-1)
- Fredrik Croneborg: 10% (9-1)
- Matt Burton: 6% (15-1)
Female Race Participants
Diana Riesler is clearly the strongest athlete on the bike – but it remains to be seen if she’ll be able to race well in the Malaysia climate:
- Diana Riesler: 64% (1-1)
- Shiao-yu Li: 16% (5-1)
- Beth Gerdes: 12% (8-1)
- Michelle Duffield: 4% (22-1)
- Dimity-Lee Duke: 2% (54-1)
- Keiko Tanaka: 2% (55-1)
