The result adds to a strong start to Hauser's 2025 season, following his silver at the opener in Abu Dhabi, where he was edged out in a sprint showdown by Kiwi star Hayden Wilde - who has subsequently suffered multiple broken bones in a bike crash.

"I tried to produce a bit of that Aussie spirit today and it got me home first, which I'm super glad about. "Wollongong World Championships this year – it's the year of the Aussies.
