Ashleigh Gentle, who had won 10 straight Noosa Triathlons, will miss the event to focus on her T100 title push.
Freshly minted world champion Matthew Hauser will headline the Noosa Triathlon after a scheduling conflict ended Gentle's decade-long winning streak.
Gentle's move to middle-distance racing has flipped her schedule, thwarting her ability to extend one of Australian sport's greatest winning streaks.
Hauser will compete in the 42nd Noosa Triathlon, performing a 1.5km swim, 40km cycle, and 10km victory lap.
