The IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships in Marbella is set to feature a strong men's field, with most big names on the start list.
Notable absentees include Hayden Wilde and Lionel Sanders. Wilde, last year's runner-up, was recovering from serious injuries after being hit by a truck in Japan and was unable to compete in his intended qualifying race.
Hayden Wilde was unable to secure a wildcard spot despite his recent injuries.
The men's field is expected to be highly competitive, with the Norwegian trio looking to dominate once again.
