New Zealand triathlete Hayden Wilde made it four wins from four in the T100 world series when he ran out a clear-cut winner in Spain.

Wilde continued a season of dominance which began in the season-opener in Singapore, followed by two more recent wins in London and the French Riviera.

The 28-year-old has bounced back in remarkable fashion from shocking injuries suffered mid-year when hit by a truck while training in Japan and now appears well on course to be crowned series champion.

Wilde’s latest success, in Valencia, saw him stave off a challenge from reigning 70.3 world champion Jelle Geens, who threw down a challenge early on the run leg.

However, the Kiwi was more than up to it and he eased clear at the halfway point to cross more than two minutes clear of his rival, with Germany’s Jonas Schomburg third.

Wilde will take a perfect score into the T100 grand final in Qatar in December, where the points from that race add to an athlete’s best four results.

Wilde’s win came on the day that his great rival Alex Yee, who pipped him to Olympic triathlon gold in Paris last year, announced he is going all-in on marathon running for the rest of the year.
