Ironman World Champs Nice Sept 10th

Just catching up on YT feed… picture quality is bad; better alternatives?

So no mechanical etc? Maybe he’s hoping people are over biking in early stages as he said they would in interviews. As you say he may be planning a really strong run off back off sensible bike…

Yeah he’s been targeting those downhill river swims recently

Mine is fine. :+1:

He was six minutes down out of the swim, and Lange and Frodo themselves are ten minutes back. So looking at it like that, he’s pacing the bike the same as the GOAT.

However, we know he’s not great even with a satnav, so suspect he’s checking out the macchiatos in Monaco…

Seems OK for me on TV, which would highlight any significant quality issues given the size. How are you watching? If on my phone, I often find live streams defaults to low quality in the app - go into settings and make sure it’s set to best quality, not auto or low

Laptop. Could try TV in a bit. Tbh it’s Iornman, so I expect it to be a bit shit.

Laidlow pushing some big old Watts!

He ran OK in Kona

Clemons’s saddle looks low, he also has a strange foot position with heels pointing inwards

He did. I just never trust his run.

I can’t help but think that with his poor form all year, he knows he’s not there in the run, so he’s building a buffer for or on the the bike.

Ditlev in pole position at the mo I reckon. Will have to see how far back Lange comes into t2

Joe is in another time zone from Laidlow; what is he on the favourites, about 11? Was he 6 down on the swim? That’s just not going to do him any favours. Sorry I’ve missed most of what’s been going on earlier.

Does anyone know if they’re all issued the same power meters and how they are gathering these stats?

Much better on the TV strangely.

Laidlow is either going to win this thing or blow up spectacularly on the run

Who are the strong runners in top 6/7?

I’d imagine Frodeno would like a couple of mins on Lange off the bike; force him to chase.

Ditlev will run well. Currie as well.
Not sure what Rudy’s run is like.

Lange and Frodo together at the mo.

Definitely something wrong with the Ironman stats 80 miles down 60 miles to finish
