Crown Racing Add Thorn and De Koning To Squad As Brownlee Racing Sign Up Betto

Crown Racing have announced the rest of their squad for supertri League 2024 with an emphasis on up and coming talent, while Brownlee Racing have added another member to their roster to add some experience to their ranks.

Crown Racing have confirmed that Vetle Bergsvik Thorn, 25, who competed for Norway in the Olympics and is seen as a rising talent in the prolific Norwegian system, will join their men’s roster alongside Hayden Wilde, Vincent Luis and Max Stapley.

Talented 21-year-old Dutch athlete Barbara De Koning, who already has a season of supertri experience under her belt, slots into a women’s line-up that features big hitters Cassandre Beuagrand, Georgia Taylor-Brown and Kate Waugh. De Koning is Crown’s under-23 athlete and will gain huge value from working alongside such stars.

Meanwhile, Brownlee Racing have added a fifth woman to their roster with Jess Learmonth forced to miss the start of the season due to injury. Alice Betto, the 36-year-old who raced for Italy at the Olympics in Paris, is a permanent signing and is expected to initially cover for Learmonth and then other scheduled absences over the League campaign.
