Mario Mola asks the support of the fans to win the Super League
The three times world champion will look for victory next weekend in the race that takes place in Porto Cristo (Malllorca)
According to the Diario de Mallorca , Mallorcan triathlete Mario Mola said yesterday that he hopes to have " extra encouragement " during the Super League Triathlon ( SLT) event, which will take place this coming weekend in Porto Cristo and will be based at the Rafa Nadal Sports Centre in Manacor.
" Triathlons have grown a lot in the last five years and there will be a lot of people interested in the Super League Triathlon and, although I am sure that they will cheer on all the participants, I hope that I will take that extra encouragement to get the title ," commented Mola, champion of the 2018 ITU World Triathlon Series for the third time in a row.
The Calvià native is confident he can emerge victorious in this race held in Porto Cristo, which is the third of the five scheduled in this year's SLT calendar, following the competitions already held in Jersey and Malta.
" I grew up near Palma before leaving at 18, it was really great. The weather was good all year round and on the island we had everything we could ask for, including very good sports facilities ," he argued.
This event will bring together the world's leading triathlon figures in a format that is "much more explosive" than the original triathlon.
" The people of Mallorca have been asking for a race of this magnitude for a long time, and from what I've heard, they want an event where they can see the speed and pace of the competitors and the competition itself. I think the SLT will offer something special for everyone ," commented Mallorcan Mario Mola, who is currently twelfth in the overall standings, which are led by Frenchman Vincent Luis.
