I thought that was Johnny leading! Well well

Dickinson first brit out with Johnny on his tail, and they’re motoring. Looks like a Paris simulation for them.

The polish commentary sounds like the last furlong of the grand national!

He’s not really leaving himself anywhere to go for the end of the race :joy:

Chase group neither losing nor gaining, I think the commentator is being fooled by the camera angle

Milner gets mentioned but no idea whether he’s in the chase or further back.

Ah Milner back of second chase group

Brownlee out of t2 in 2nd with Dickinson on his tail, now 1, 2.

He’s in the group about 25 seconds back with another GBR who I don’t know.

Sam has done all he can. Great finish.

Sam has openly showed he will sacrifice himself for Alex in the men’s race and now shown he is the quickest for the relay distance. Reliably makes the swim pack. It should be his.

Well, Johnny lead that swim and pushed that bike…

I think Luis hasn’t got a slot for the a French team, so if there’s no JB at the Olympics then it’s the end of generation really. Quite sad!

Jonny off to look up Kona qualifying race schedule… :wink:

Dickinson did have a good kick at the end, maybe time for a change to the next generation.

So… Hamburg was were the motorcycle rider died last year in that horrific accident… This was very nearly a cyclist head on collision between a pro and AG’er. This should take you to a few seconds before the near miss*

*why do they call it a near miss. It was a near ‘hit’. If they nearly missed then it would have hit. Hmn.

If a ref had seen that would have been a DQ I reckon

Near miss is a standard industry H&S term.

straight DQ - crossing the centre line and dangerous cycling.

Totally overcooked that corner, and definitely worthy of a DQ
