Brownlee Racing, the new endurance racing team launched by three-time Olympic medallist Jonny Brownlee and his double-gold winning brother, Alistair, is competing in the 2024 Supertri League after acquiring a team franchise.
The brothers have a strong legacy in global triathlon, and even more so in Britain, where they are household names and have helped to inspire a new generation of Olympians such as Alex Yee and Beth Potter – both members of the Brownlee Racing team for 2024.
The Brownlee brothers also have a goal to develop new British talent, with their team a blend of youth and experience.
As well as Jonny Brownlee joining the team from the Supertri London event onwards, after his wedding, team headliners are Alex Yee, who won the Olympic triathlon gold medal in Paris as well as mixed relay bronze, and Beth Potter, who was part of the same team and also collected the same colour medal in the women’s individual triathlon race at Paris 2024.
Recruited to race alongside Beth Potter is Olympic gold medallist from Tokyo Jess Learmonth, making a comeback to short course racing following an extended absence due to injury and the birth of her first child. They are joined by younger talent in the shape of Jess Fullagar and Olivia Mathias.
The team’s men’s line-up sees Jonny Brownlee and Alex Yee take star billing with youngster Connor Bentley getting a chance to race the world’s elite in a full series, as well as Sergio Baxter Cabrera, the Yorkshire based athlete who represents Spain internationally.
While Jonny Brownlee is taking a player/manager role in terms of overseeing proceedings, he will be leaving the full management duties on the ground to Non Stanford, the former world and European champion who will guide the team at all Supertri events in 2024.
The Supertri League begins in Boston on August 18, 2024. All four teams have now revealed their rosters for 2024, with the winners of 11 Olympic medals in Paris competing.
