Pro race chat (Tri)

Ive just read that Ryf has retired with immediate effect :open_mouth: I know she was planning to go at end of season, wonder if she has picked up an injury as thought she would bow out at Kona at least

Nice for ladies this year.

Ryf has grown on me over the years and she has a great birthday :grin:

Sad to see her retire.

Yes. Kona is next year :france:

She was awesome. Looked like a cyclist on the bike and a runner on the run- not many do that.

Any odds on Skipper retiring. Patchy results last 18 months ( I’ve never seen such a thunderously unhappy face as his in Nice while walking last year).

Last vid was pretty downbeat, break from the sport, will build back and see if there’s enough desire for a late season race or just go 2025.

I think AB will retire this year, his fire seems to have gone out. His USP was always win or bust - even injured/unfit he’d hang out there for as long as possible hoping for a miracle. He seems to phone it in from mid pack these days.

Joe saying Joe things, day 1752 :rofl:

These days, you get arrested and thrown in jail if you do a funny race celebration, don’t you

He’s not though, is he!?

Surely AB will raise his eyebrows!

I suspect there’s a large amount of tongue in cheek from Yee there.

I’m not down with the kids - did the celebration reference something I am supposed to be aware of, or was he just trying to say ‘easy - look no hands’?

It’s just South London swagger :wink:

At superleague tri, I think the results suggest he is.

Hes just a nice kid, complimenting people. Not sure you should read too much into it, but Luis has been pretty consistent at this Super League stuff

I believe he was copying a footballer (Mbappe?).

I thought it was Cole Palmer he was copying, so called South London swagger but actually from Wythenshawe
