Commonwealth Games triathlon bronze medallist Vicky Holland has backed Alistair Brownlee to win the battle of the Brownlee boys in the men's triathlon race.

Holland claimed bronze in the women's race after finishing third behind Kirsten Sweetland and winner Jodie Stimpson in what was a pulsating race in the heat in Scotland.

Asked by Sports Mole who would triumph out of Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee in the men's race, Holland joked: "Oh talk about put me in a position! I've got to be in the relay team with them in two days' time. I would love to see them come onto the blue carpet together.

"I have to train with them, I have to see them every day... Okay, Alistair."

The Brownlee brothers are the favourites to gain first and second this afternoon.
