Brownlee brothers clinch Triathlon World Series one-two in Leeds

Alistair Brownlee and brother Jonathan Brownlee have secured a one-two finish at the World Triathlon Series in Leeds.

The older Brownlee sibling dominated the competition in his hometown to claim his first major win for over a year and lay down an ominous marker ahead of this summer's Rio Olympics.

Together with his younger brother, Australian Aaron Royle and Frenchman Aurelien Raphael, they built a huge gap in the 41.5km cycle into the city centre, with the pace of the bunch controlled by their training partner Richard Varga of Slovakia.

Alistair then overtook Jonathan on the first lap of four loops in the 10km run and it quickly became a victory lap for the London 2012 gold medallist.

Reigning world champion Javier Gomez, meanwhile, finished well back in fourth place.
