Pro race chat (Tri)

Her position is hardly “ optimal “

Must have some engine on her

How deep are we now? Just got back from kids Easter fete and just got the spinning circle.

30-ish miles into the bike I think

Lionel should sit up and wait for Knibb to tow him up to the front group…

Lawrence now 2min behind Knibb, Ryf 3mins.

Ali upping the pace at the front, might be holding off Sanders progress through the field.

I just don’t get why she wears the race suit she does. It’s well established fabric is substantially faster than skin. She must be giving away serious watts having so much skin on show. Skipper actually made the same point on his podcast about some of the FPROs

Yeah I think it’s weird she ops for that swimsuit.

Without soundly overly pervy she looks good in it but it must be costing her

Just put this on and endured 5 mins of the commentators going on about Lionel. I may have to mute it😬

He’s the only one they can recognise

Is this part of it? Is it ‘her look’ that works for sponsors etc? As sexist and dated as that is.

talking of nice looking things, Holly’s Trek in metalic blue is so much nicer than everyone elses

The camera man seemed to be hanging back with Holly for quite a while during the neutral zone.

that’s just the moment i was looking at her bike thinking “that’s really nice”

Might be something in it.

She’s the only pro who does it at long distance as far as I can see :man_shrugging:t2:

Sort of an FPRO Faris al sultan?

Ryf going backwards, the lady in second who’s not getting gapped by Knibb as much as the others is another ‘crap TT position’ rider.

Are we all doing it wrong……

Hahaha,

He’s the guy who sported the tank and budgie smuggler combo isn’t he?

Brave man

Footage of Lionel with Guillox 12m back

‘Lionel will be annoyed he can’t get rid of Guillox’

Guillox then ripped past Lionel and may be shelling him….

Could be meltdown video time ….

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

His new coach will be for the high jump if he collapses here. And not unreasonably so, imo.

I assumed Lionel was leading as when the buffering stopped it was him on screen with the inset video of him talking bollox.
