Bahrain Victorious 13 has confirmed the return of Crown Racing for the 2025 Supertri League Series, unveiling a formidable roster set to defend the women’s, men’s, and overall team championships.
As the principal partner of Crown Racing, Bahrain Victorious 13 continues its commitment to high-performance sport by assembling a mix of proven champions and emerging talent. Leading the women’s squad is Olympic and world champion Cassandre Beaugrand, joined by fellow French star Emma Lombardi. Georgia Taylor-Brown and Barbara de Koning return to the team, with Oceania junior champion Aspen Anderson making her Supertri debut.
Olympian Emma Jeffcoat, formerly of the Bahrain Victorious Scorpions, rounds out the lineup.
The men’s team features Supertri regular Vasco Vilaça, supported by returning Scorpions alumni Tyler Mislawchuk and Roberto Sanchez Mantecon. Also named are Charles Paquet, Ricardo Batista, and rising junior Brayden Mercer.
Crown Racing team manager and four-time world triathlon champion Chris McCormack said the team is prepared to make a strong statement in 2025.
“Crown Racing didn’t just compete last year — we dominated, sweeping all three titles. This year, we’re returning with a powerhouse roster that combines elite experience with fearless new blood,” McCormack said.
“With athletes like Beaugrand, Vilaça and Taylor-Brown at the helm, we’re ready to defend our crown and prove once again who rules the Supertri League.”
The 2025 Supertri League kicks off in Toronto on 26 July, with subsequent rounds confirmed in Chicago (23 August), Jersey (21 September), and Toulouse (5 October). Each team may nominate four male and four female athletes per event, with all individual results contributing to the Teams League standings across the season.
Crown Racing has secured two of the four Supertri Teams Championships to date. Off the racecourse, the team is helping grow the sport through youth development initiatives, Arabic-language broadcasts, and close collaboration with the Saudi Triathlon Federation. The 2024 Supertri Grand Final in NEOM highlighted Crown Racing’s dual role as both a global performance leader and a driver of grassroots impact in the Middle East.
