PTO European Open: Max Neumann 'feels bad' for crashing triathlon kings’ party with inaugural PTO European Open crown
Modest Max Neumann admits he “feels bad” for crashing the triathlon kings’ Ibiza party and clinching the maiden PTO European Open crown. On the day of King Charles III’s coronation back in the UK, the largely unknown Australian toppled the decorated trio of Kristian Blummenfelt, Alistair Brownlee and Jan Frodeno in a gruelling 100km Balearic battle. Ad Set up by the Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO), the innovative middle-distance contest marked the first time reigning Olympic champion Blummenfelt, London and Rio gold medallist Brownlee and Frodeno, who grabbed glory in Beijing 15 years ago, had all duelled it out against each other in the same race.
