Triathlon: Rudy Project athletes star at Ironman

From Australia, to Austria and to Spain: the Rudy Project triathletes continue to score important successes and come out top of the world Ironman rankings. Take Timo Bracht for instance, who came first in Ironman Lanzarote Canarias, after an historic performance, which saw him smash the course record finishing in 8:30:34, a full 5 minutes below the previous record.

There was a win too for Pete Jacobs, first in Ironman Australia. In first place following the swimming leg, Jacobs also managed to maintain his leadership in the bike and running legs, in the end winning by 7 minutes over the second placed competitor. Australia was also a happy hunting ground for Mitch Anderson, who came first in the 35-39 age group, finishing more than 25 minutes ahead of Phillip Giles. Meanwhile in St. Polten in Austria, there was an excellent second place for Yvonne Van Vlerken.

Strength, resistance, concentration and technique are the fundamental characteristics needed to excel at triathlon, along with top-level technology equipment and accessories. This is why the best triathletes choose Rudy Project's revolutionary Wingspan time trial helmet, which has been tested in the Charlotte, South Carolina wind tunnel, under the expert eyes of the American cycling aerodynamics guru, John Cobb. Characterised by its small size and racy lines, the Wingspan time trial helmet offers large ventilation slits which enable continuous air turnover without affecting the aerodynamics overall. Comfortable and versatile, it can be used in different configurations: "closed", or with the "net cover", i.e. with protection of the front slit, which is also useful for protecting against insects, and the rear cover, which helps give maximum aerodynamic performance; "open", that is, without any protection or cover to ensure maximum inner ventilation on hot sunny days. Rudy Project's Noyz Racing Pro eyeglasses are also fundamental for top-level performance, guaranteeing maximum protection and comfort at all times. Characterised by an ultra-light frame in Grilamid material, with 360° adjustable temples and the new ergonomic nose piece, Noyz Racing Pro eyeglasses are indispensable for protecting the eyes against insects, wind, sun and rain and allow the athletes to take on all challenges in the knowledge that they have maximum efficiency and safety.

In addition, the Wingspan/Noyz combination guarantees minimum aerodynamic impact and total comfort, thanks to the perfect fit of the triathlon eyeglasses inside the helmet.

Top-level research and development, use of highly-advanced materials and technologies, and an obsession for detail, these are what make Rudy Project's eyeglasses and helmets the perfect companion pieces with which to take on the hardest challenges and ensure winning performances.
