I know we’ve had centre line gate - IM saying it’s enforced due to cars still having the potential to pull on to the course. Did anyone spot the car doing just this to Frodo early on the bike!

Lol :joy::joy:

Wurf just passed Frodo at some pace on that steep section :flushed:. Course certainly adds a different dynamic to the bike leg.

I’ve seen about 20 instances of the centre line being broke already!

Do we take a drink every time they talk about ā€˜course knowledge’?

We’ll be wasted before 0900

Didn’t @jeffb last swim in 1986?

What’s the bike pace like?

It’s such a slog the start of this course

Why do they keep saying that Clemont is a surprise at the front? He’s a quality rider and local. I think that he’ll be good on the descent

Laidlow has an interesting aerobar setup, seems like the post is angled forward… also looks a bit flexible

Got more of a sense of the race so far from this thread than the feed. Been watching 4 minutes. 3 minutes of that has been two blocks of adverts

Laidlow missed the bottle at aid station, that could be a big mistake

Weiss really pissed off in penalty tent

Not using the Kona chat for pro race?

Only just tuning in. What happened with Joe? 16mins down!!

6 mins down out of t1, lost another 10 somewhere. Hopeful of a decent run later?
