Winning Odds

Male Race Participants

Last year’s winner Denis Chevrot is back to defend his title, but he faces strong competition in David Dellow who always races well when he’s fit. Luke McKenzie and Christian Kramer want to close the year with a good result after a DNF and a 34st in Kona. Per Bittner is working to qualify for Kona 2016, he already has a 3rd in Barcelona in his KPR total.

  • David Dellow: 34% (2-1)
  • Denis Chevrot: 24% (3-1)
  • Luke McKenzie: 19% (4-1)
  • Christian Kramer: 10% (9-1)
  • Per Bittner: 6% (16-1)
  • Courtney Ogden: 6% (16-1)

Female Race Participants

Yvonne Van Vlerken is the clear favorite, but she has been racing a lot even after declining her Kona slot. Her main challengers are Sarah Piampiano (7th in Kona – maybe also not the freshest after a long season of racing) and Mareen Hufe (last year’s second who also raced Kona).

  • Yvonne Van Vlerken: 57% (1-1)
  • Sarah Piampiano: 25% (3-1)
  • Mareen Hufe: 11% (8-1)
  • Rebecca Preston: 4% (24-1)
  • Dimity-Lee Duke: 2% (65-1)
