Manxman making second wildcard appearance in London
Manx triathlete Will Draper will make a return to the T100 Triathlon World Tour this weekend.
The Island competitor has earned a second wildcard entry which will see him take on the fourth round of the series in London tomorrow (9 August).
Back in June, Draper impressed in his first wildcard appearance on the tour at the previous round in Vancouver, Canada.
There he managed a 15th place finish overall and picked up six T100 series points in the process.
The T100 tour itself features 40 elite long-distance athletes - 20 male and 20 female - all competing to become series champion and earn a share of $9million.
Wildcards such as Draper take part in stages and are chosen by 'exceptional recent performances, top athletes coming back from injury or maternity or more Olympians stepping up in distance.'
