Podium Racing

Podium Racing returns to the Supertri League in 2025 with a bold new vision and a truly global squad of elite athletes. After a strong second-place finish in the 2024 Teams League, the franchise enters a new chapter—rooted in innovation, leadership, and athlete development. Founded on the principle of blending world-class performance with real-world opportunity, Podium Racing aims to serve as a launchpad for the sport’s next generation while continuing to compete at the very top.

Supported by brands like Enve Composites and driven by a forward-thinking team culture, Podium Racing blends proven stars with emerging talent from across the globe. Their mission for 2025: win, grow, and build a sustainable team model that supports athlete progression and performance on and off the racecourse.

2025 sees John Anthony - the founder of Podium Racing - step into the dual role of owner and interim team manager. Following the high-profile offseason departure of Tim Don to Brownlee Racing, Anthony has restructured the team’s leadership with a hands-on, full-stack approach inspired by his experience at companies like WHOOP, Google, and Oura. His goal is to evolve the team both culturally and competitively, embedding a new structure that emphasizes long-term growth and athlete empowerment.

A key part of this evolution is the introduction of Team Captain roles for stalwarts Jeanne Lehair and Kenji Nener, both of whom will guide team dynamics, contribute to strategic decisions, and mentor younger athletes throughout the season.

Podium Racing’s 2025 roster is a compelling blend of established names and breakthrough performers across both the men’s and women’s teams.

On the women’s side, Jeanne Lehair leads a powerful lineup after finishing just two points shy of the individual League title in 2024. She is joined once again by France’s ever-reliable Léonie Périault, Brazilian swim star Vittória Lopes, and two exciting additions: Zuzana Michalickova, the 22-year-old standout from Slovakia who lit up Supertri E, and Poland’s Roksana Slupek.

The men’s squad is equally deep, with Japan’s Kenji Nener- now team captain—and former World Champion Dorian Coninx of France anchoring the group. They are joined by a trio of dynamic new recruits: New Zealand’s swim weapon Tayler Reid, American up-and-comer John Reed, and Spanish all-rounder Alberto González Garcia.

Podium Racing’s Next-Gen initiative, powered by Enve Composites, gives athletes like Reed and Michalickova the opportunity to race against the world’s best while removing financial barriers—a core part of the team’s mission to build future champions.
