How to watch Spain T100 Women’s Pro Race this weekend
The second race of the 2026 T100 pro tour is in Singapore on 25 April. There are plenty of changes to this year's racing. We've explained everything you need to know, plus how to catch all the action live…

This year, T100 have made big changes to their race schedule, with eight pro events split into four women’s and four men’s races, followed by a joint season finale. Our elites will once again race it out in some of the iconic T100 locations, including the Gold Coast, Singapore, Spain, San Francisco, Vancouver, French Riviera, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. Next up, it’s the women’s second race of the season in Pamplona, Spain.
The 2026 T100 Triathlon World Tour officially started with a pro women’s race in Queensland on Australia’s Gold Coast. Meanwhile, the first men’s race of the season took place in Singapore the following month. T100 says that this new split schedule is a decision made from “listening to athlete feedback about the number of races [the pros] can perform at in top shape”.
So here’s everything you need to know about the 2026 nine-event T100 Tour, who will be racing the next race, and crucially, how to make sure you don’t miss a second of the action…
What is the T100 Triathlon World Tour?
The T100 Triathlon World Tour is a race series that’s recognised by World Triathlon as the official world championship tour of long-distance triathlon. Forty of the world’s best female and male pros (20 each gender) compete over nine races culminating in the T100 Grand Final in Qatar, in December.
For 2026, the top 10 of each gender from 2025’s T100 Tour rankings automatically received an invite to race. A further 8 for each gender are filled from the PTO top-30 World Rankings, reflective of outstanding performances in 2025. And then there are two ‘Wildcard’ (non-contracted) athletes for each event. These are chosen based on exceptional recent performances, top athletes coming back from injury or maternity or more Olympians stepping up in distance. They can still earn prize money, points, and the chance at a 2027 contract.
Selection for the season’s opening races is based on the top-10 athletes in the 2025 T100 Standings and the next top-5 ranked athletes in last year’s Contender Rankings. Then, the remaining slots are discretionary Wildcards. This year, athletes are racing for a hefty prize fund, which has seen a healthy increase for 2026. Over the whole race series, a huge $4.2M prize purse is in play, with men’s and women’s prizes of equal value throughout.
T100 explains: “Things are different in 2026! Athlete contracts are no more – meaning there’s no guaranteed payday for any of the pros. Instead, it’ll all come down to performances on the day and who wants it most! Each race has an increased prize purse of $275,000, with the winner taking double the amount compared to 2025 – $50,000. Then, there’s another $725,000 per gender in the end-of-season T100 Standings with each T100 World Champion adding $100,000 to their winnings.”
How does the T100 points system work?
Athletes score 35 points for first place to 1 point for 20th place at each of the nine races, which contribute towards their T100 ‘Race To Qatar’ ranking. The Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final has increased points – 55pts down to 4pts. Each athlete’s best four T100 race scores including the Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final will count towards the women’s and men’s T100 World Championship titles.
What happened in the T100 Series in 2025?
The T100 season opened in Singapore with a shock victory for Kate Waugh in the women’s race, while Hayden Wilde defeated fellow Olympic medallist Léo Bergere in the men’s event. Round two in San Francisco brought first-time T100 wins for Rico Bogen and Julie Derron, the latter beating defending champion Taylor Knibb, with Waugh third. Knibb returned to form in Vancouver to win ahead of Derron and Jess Learmonth, while Jelle Geens took the men’s race ahead of Marten Van Riel.
London produced standout moments: Lucy Charles-Barclay secured her first T100 victory, and Wilde completed a remarkable comeback win just months after a serious training crash. In the French Riviera, Ashleigh Gentle surged to victory with the fastest run, while Wilde edged Geens for his third win. Wilde then dominated in Spain to take the series lead, while Charles-Barclay led an all-British women’s podium. In Wollongong, Waugh won by over five minutes and Wilde continued his streak with a fifth straight victory.
The penultimate race in Dubai descended into chaos when the leading men rode an extra bike lap and run lap counts caused confusion. Although Mika Noodt crossed the …
