BevanDocherty, Richard Stannard, Dimitry Gaag of Kazahkstan, Chris Hill, Richard Allen, Andrew Johns and Greg Bennett were the first from the huge pack through onto the run in the hunt for the leaders.
Docherty and Gaag overtook the leaders on the 1st lap and built up a 15 second lead on the trio of Bennett and British team-mates Paul Amey and Andrew Johns.
Docherty and Gaag increased their lead to 25 seconds and continued to run shoulder to shoulder at the front through the 2nd and 3rd lap, as Bennett, Johns and Amey ran together in a sea-saw battle for the final step on the podium.
Bevan finished 17th in the 1.5 km swim leg, ahead of Carter in 33rd place, but both New Zealanders managed to stay in touch with the leading group, and in the tough 40 km bike leg both joined the leading group of six riders.

Bevan’s older sister, Fiona, is a world duathlon champion. When they needed a European base some years ago they lived in a luxury apartment in Monaco owned by Prince Albert, who met the brother and sister at a triathlon and became a good friend.
