Data Dive: Crown Racing Produce Biggest Points Haul So Far

The London leg of the 2024 supertri league delivered plenty of drama and significant shifts in the team standings, especially at the top. Crown Racing produced the single biggest points haul of the season so far, amassing an impressive 88 points. This effort overtook Podium Racing’s slim 5-point lead from the Chicago race, leaving Crown Racing ahead by 8 points overall. However, the competition remains fierce—this 8-point gap is far from comfortable, as swings of more than that are common from race to race.

The top two teams—Crown and Podium—continue to battle for the championship. The near 60-point gap between them and the bottom two teams, Stars and Stripes Racing and Brownlee Racing, now looks insurmountable. This has created two distinct races: one for the overall title and another to avoid the bottom position.

The top two

Crown Racing’s strength lies in their consistency, particularly in the women’s squad. The women have only varied by 3 points across the three races and have scored the highest of any women's team in the series, with a total of 134 points. Podium Racing’s women, on the other hand, have struggled with only 100 points.

The men’s teams tell a different story. Podium’s men have been dominant, racking up 140 points, the highest of any male squad, compared to Crown’s 114. This has kept Podium Racing close despite Crown’s consistent strength.

Discipline Points

Podium Racing's strategic focus on discipline points has been a key factor in keeping them competitive. They have earned 35% of all available points in this category, more than any other team. Crown and Stars and Stripes Racing are close behind, with around 25% each, while Brownlee Racing has only managed 13%.

Bottom Two Teams

Stars and Stripes Racing overtook Brownlee Racing in the overall standings for the first time in their history, thanks to a strong performance in London. They scored 74 points, nearly matching the top two teams and showing significant improvement. Had they performed at this level in earlier races, they might have been contenders for the title.

Brownlee Racing, in contrast, has struggled. Their 45-point haul in London is the lowest of any team in the series this season. This decline is largely driven by the men's team, whose points have decreased in each race, from 41 in Boston to just 18 in London.

Individual Standouts

Women's Rankings

Georgia Taylor-Brown (Crown Racing) has taken a strong lead with 44 points out of a possible 45, setting her up well for the series finale. Her closest challengers—Jeanne Lehair, Taylor Spivey, and Cassandre Beaugrand—can still close the gap in the remaining races. Beaugrand, who had a weaker race in Chicago, has the most potential for improvement.

Men's Rankings

Hayden Wilde (Crown Racing) has also been nearly flawless, with just one loss in Chicago. Matthew Hauser and Léo Bergere have the potential to close the gap in the next race, with Bergere missing Chicago but delivering strong results in Boston and London.

Conclusion

With just a few races left, the competition is heating up. Crown Racing holds the upper hand, but Podium Racing is still within striking distance. Both teams will need to remain focused as the battle for the championship intensifies. Meanwhile, Stars and Stripes and Brownlee Racing will fight to avoid the bottom spot, each looking to build on their London performances in the remaining events.
