Dubai T100 2026: Julie Derron defends as Hayden Wilde doubles up
By AthRecs Editorial · 2 min read
Julie Derron leads the race to Qatar and returns to Dubai as defending champion. Hayden Wilde took bronze in Friday’s Abu Dhabi sprint before heading to Dubai for Saturday’s 100km event.
Derron has company at the front
The Swiss Olympic silver medallist beat Kate Waugh in Dubai last year and won in Vancouver in August. Waugh and Georgia Taylor-Brown are on the published Dubai list alongside Derron. It is the last opportunity to score before December’s Qatar final, so a rider deciding whether to follow a move on the bike has a season’s worth of points to think about.
Wilde’s two-race idea and the men trying to beat him
Wilde finished Friday’s sprint in 49:43, behind Miguel Hidalgo and Matt Hauser. Dubai asks a different question over a 2km swim, 80km bike and 18km run. Jake Birtwhistle, Lasse Nygaard Priester, Mika Noodt and fellow New Zealander Kyle Smith are among the published Dubai entrants.
