On the men’s side of the Supertri Pro Series Final in Jersey, it was Matt Hauser who ran his way to victory against a stacked field that included the likes of Hayden Wilde and Alex Yee.

Hauser took the lead on the final run segment, striding to victory seven seconds ahead of Wilde, with Mitch Kolkman taking third.

As Hauser said post-race: “It was on from the start. I tried to measure myself in the first two stages and then try and get a bit of a gap on the lads and spread out on the swim bike and wasn’t able to do that. I’m just stocked to be able to finish it off. It’s good to get my swagger back this weekend.”

Race Day Action

The race in Jersey followed the format of three back-to-back 300m swims, 4km rides and 1.6km runs, with eight transitions.

Stage 1

Hauser started the race at the front, exiting the water first onto the jetty and earning the first short chute.

The technical 4km bike was initially led by Hauser before Seth Rider bridged up to join him at the front and then took over the lead. But Hauser worked his way back, heading into transition as part of a lead group of six alongside Wilde, Rider, Csongor Lehmann, Kolkman and Luke Willian, with Yee just a second behind.

By the end of Stage 1, a lead group of seven men had formed, with Lehmann earning the final short chute.

Stage 2

From here, the men dove back into St. Helier’s harbour waters for the second 300m swim, with Lehmann exiting the water in first. Hauser was second, as the front group of seven continued to stay close together.

The start of the bike saw the lead group drop to six, with Willian working hard to rejoin after losing time dropping his swim gear in transition.

On the final lap of the ride, Yee suffered a mechanical, forcing him to pull over just shy of transition.

On the run, Hauser pushed the pace and took over the lead.

Stage 3

By Stage 3, it had narrowed to a lead group of four, with Hauser, Wilde, Lehmann and Kolkman remaining inseparable through the 300m swim and Rider working hard to try to rejoin them.

Hauser and Lehmann blitzed through transition to head out on the bike ahead of Wilde, Kolkman, Rider and Willian. The group quickly came together, however, with the lead changing hands between Wilde, Hauser and Lehmann.

The final 1.6km run began with Hauser at the front, charging hard to create a gap over his chasers.

Wilde lost a bike shoe on course but was not assessed a penalty because it was deemed a racing incident. Lehmann, however, was assessed a penalty for having equipment (his bike helmet) outside his transition box.

Hauser cashed in his short chute ahead of the final lap of the run, extending his lead to five seconds before running his way to victory and the $100,000 prize, with Wilde and Kolkman rounding out the podium behind him.

Tyler Mislawchuk

And what about Canadian Tyler Mislawchuk, who has been having an incredible 2026 season, with a win at the Supertri Toronto event and four other podiums, including his recent WTCS podium in Weihai?

Mislawchuk was right with the front men through the opening swim. Unfortunately, his race changed early on Lap 1 of the first bike when another rider travelling in the opposite direction struck one of the large red cones, sending it flying into Mislawchuk’s front wheel and causing him to crash.

It was potentially a “$100,000 cone,” as Mislawchuk called it when interviewed following the accident. The disappointment was evident, but he also graciously acknowledged that this is “part of sport.”
