Kona 25

Iden, Lange, Palmer in a line together at the start of the bike. 28th - 30th ish

20 seconds in front of Laidlow

Benito could be a bit of a dark horse today. If he bikes solidly he’s got a weapon of a run.

I know Chevalier isn’t the greatest swimmer. But he’s lost 6.5 mins already.

Yeah they came out together…

Laidlow slow in T1 no urgency.

Skipper close to a minute behind Sam Long… ouch.

He gave up last year, imo he gave up too early. :frowning:

:+1:

On their way out to the first turn buoy.

Iden is moving away from Lange and Palmer.

Is Laidlow going to catch Lange within the next few bike splits?

Doesn’t look like it, struggling on the first short climb.

What’s happening with Blu?

Skipper has caught Wurf and long. I suspect they’ll be a race within a race :slightly_smiling_face: Actually they should do that some how for real.

Are the commentators banned from mentioning T100?! :joy:

Van Riel hasn’t gone straight from Olympic to IM. T100 has given quite a few of them a nice, really competitive bridge distance on the way up.

Jason West going well…

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get the tracker on a regular laptop? Going round in circles on the IM website.

Seems like they’re making an effort on the camera bikes to not just be a draft. Lots more side shots and shots from the back of the groups this year.
