Matthew Hauser has won his first Noosa Triathlon, a fortnight after his world championship triumph.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After a crowded 1,500 metre swim, Hauser broke from the pack on a steamy 40 kilometre bike leg and held off American John Reed over the 10km run to win in 1 hour, 42 minutes and 38 seconds on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Defending champion Brayden Mercer (sixth) fell on the bike leg to end his duel with training partner Hauser, while Luke Willian (third) added another Noosa podium finish.<\/p>\n

Hauser clinched victory in the men’s World Triathlon Championship Series in Wollongong last month<\/a>, ending a 15-year drought for Australia across both the men’s and women’s categories.<\/p>\n

“It’s good to get on the top step,” Hauser said.<\/p>\n

Australia’s Matthew Hauser finishes on top of the men’s World Triathlon Championship Series standings following his victory on home soil.<\/p>\n

“It was hard to keep the motivation after Wollongong, but Noosa holds a special place in my heart.<\/p>\n

“I was here as a 13-year-old getting Aaron Royle’s autograph, who retired here today.”<\/p>\n

In-form Briton Jess Fullagar (1:56:08), fifth in Wollongong, surprised herself to win the women’s event in her first appearance in Noosa.<\/p>\n

Her victory came with 10-time defending champion Ashleigh Gentle, who has won 11 of the last 12 titles, watching from the sidelines as she prepares for the T100 series conclusion in Dubai and Qatar in the next five weeks.<\/p>\n

“I’ve never experienced anything like this \u2026 I can’t quite believe it,” Fullagar said.<\/p>\n

“With Ashleigh winning it so many years in a row, it’s a bit surreal to have my name up there with her now.”<\/p>\n

Australia’s under-23 world champion Richelle Hill (1:59.34) was second, while French Olympic champion Cassandre Beaugrand (2:00.22) finished third.<\/p>\n
