Kiwi Olympic silver medalist Hayden Wilde leads the Super Triathlon series heading into the season finale

A third place finish in Toulouse has provided a five point buffer for next month's decider in Saudi Arabia.

Wilde lost a shoe just before the final sprint to the line - and while he's disappointed to miss out on a third straight win, he says it was still a good result.



Frenchman Leo Bergere is second overall, with third-placed Tim Hellwig a further two points adrift.
