Butterfield and Henning blister Abu Dhabi, Vanhoenacker wins in NZ

Both Rasmus Henning (DEN) and Nikki Butterfield (AUS) rode SRAM RED to new course records at this weekend’s prestigious and highly competitive Abu Dhabi triathlon. Nine time zones away, in Taupo, NZ, Marino Vanhoenacker (BEL) won the weather-shortened (70.3) Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain® Ironman® on RED.

Butterfield managed her shifts, as well as a new bike leg record (4:55:47), with SRAM’s all carbon 138 gram 900 aero shift levers. Both Rasmus and Marino chose the innovative and aerodynamically perfect R2C’s.
