Brownlee Racing Recruit Tim Don as New Team Manager and Seek British Dominance in Supertri League
Brownlee Racing have signed up British triathlon icon Tim Don as their new manager as they aim to continue their quest to build a winning Supertri League team and develop a new wave of homegrown talent.
Poaching Don, who has won two of the four Teams titles so far contested in Supertri League, is a major coup for Brownlee Racing. Richard Downey, the man behind Blue Carpet Sports Management along with Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, had Don as his first ever client and has used his long-time relationship to persuade Don to jump ship from Podium Racing for the 2025 season and beyond.
Four-time World Champion Don joins as both Team Manager for the Supertri League campaign and General Manager, overseeing the entire Brownlee Racing franchise.
It sets up a British powerhouse of success, with 3-time Olympic medallist Jonny Brownlee leading from the front by committing to race the whole Supertri League campaign as his pinnacle of 2025. He will be backed by a rotating men’s squad that includes Paris Olympic gold medallist Alex Yee, and British talents Marcus Dey, Oliver Conway and Brandan Pye.
For the women, the Brownlee Racing squad contains the ever-improving British talents and experienced Supertri athletes Olivia Mathias and Jess Fullagar as well as Tilly Anema and an international athlete in Belgium’s Jolien Vermeylen.
Brownlee Racing General Manager, Tim Don, said: “Working with Brownlee Racing and Blue Carpet Management to start to shape a British franchise within Supertri is very exciting. I believe we have the right mix of experience and youth to develop athlete’s skills and racing tactics to be a global dominant force within the professional world of triathlon.
“With new venues and old venues returning for 2025, it is all about learning and development with an eye on the top spot in the League as well. With my no stone unturned philosophy we will be working hard behind the scenes to make everything all about the best race day performance from every athlete. 2025 is going to be very exciting and just the beginning for Brownlee Racing as a powerhouse in our sport and beyond.”
Brownlee Racing is the high-profile endurance racing team founded by Olympic medallists Alistair and Jonny Brownlee and continues their incredible legacy. The brothers - who have five Olympic medals between them, including three golds - launched the team as a platform to drive the sport forward and help cultivate the next generation of elite British triathlon talent.
By combining established superstars such as Alex Yee, the Olympic gold medallist in Paris and now the most decorated Olympic triathlete ever with four medals, along with the best young talent, they are both bringing new fans to the sport and ensuring the future of British triathlon looks bright. Backed by Blue Carpet Sports Management and US-based Present Ventures, Brownlee Racing complements the Brownlee Foundation’s grassroots work and represents the next phase of the brothers’ commitment to endurance sport across all levels.
Each team in Supertri League 2025 can name four male and four athletes at each event. All points accrued by the athletes count towards the Teams League over the course of the season.
The athletes get their first taste of Supertri action this year in Toronto on July 26, before tackling the other venues so far announced for 2025, which include Chicago (August 23), Jersey (September 21) and Toulouse (October 5).
Brownlee Racing are the second Supertri League team to be announced for 2025 after Stars & Stripes Racing. The remaining Supertri League teams will be announced over the coming weeks.
