Don and Wurf battle it out in Cannes
Bouncing back from a mechanical at IM South Africa, Tim Don was in fine form at Cannes International Triathlon, taking the silver medal behind Australian Cameron Wurf.
There wasn't much time between the pair following the bike leg which featured a number of tough climbs and descents, but Wurf managed to pull way on the run to finish almost two minute clear.
