LONDON, UK/ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Tim Don and Kristian Blummenfelt have united to form the Santara Tech Eagles for Super League Triathlon’s 2023 Championship Series.

Don, the legendary former athlete turned Team Manager, has brought on board Olympic champion Blummenfelt in a signing that also sees the company the Norwegian part-owns take over the Eagles.

Don has also moved to sign other big names including France’s World Champion Leo Bergere and Australia’s Matt Hauser, the runner-up in last year’s Championship Series.
