It will be interesting to watch Sophie Delemer, former elite triathlete. In the men’s field Daniel Antonioli from Italy will be the one to watch, but he will not have an easy job, since Victor Lobo from Spain and Stephan Frank from Germany are in the field. The two good athlete from Slovakia Peter Barton and Juraj Burgos will also do their best for a good preformance in Valberg. The best French athlete can be Claude Carrere.
