Frankfurt? Yeah to hell with it! (it would be cooler in hell)
I remember collecting my number on the Thu afternoon, and it felt like someone had a hairdryer on my arms.

My mate’s Nice bike came in at 170km on his garmin. Think they did the same last year, but the pros had an extra dog leg to make up the missing 10km which I thought was pretty weird - why not for all athletes? Must be some road closure issue or something?

The top bikers will be happy if it means less drafting!

And top swimmers… stops the strong bikers bringing half the feild with them from the back.

The data will also show who the most persistent offenders are. There is always an element of sitting in the red zone of a passing rider - how often a rider sits in that zone and for how long could be interesting

Great chat with Sebi on livestream about doping. They are not brushing it under the carpet. Nice to that they recognise that T is an issue in the amateur ranks

I’ve just watched an hour of the stream (skipping through YouTube to watch the starts etc.). Looks like great conditions for the race today. Solaraberg looked as mental as usual. Sebi and Belinda commentating is good.
Looking forward to seeing the race unfold.

Skipper is a fair way back, leader on the run and he’s not hit the 169km bike split yet.

14th wasnt he?
Yup, 14th. Tom Bishop was 17th.
Laidlow ran 2:37 for the win. Matt Hanson had the fastest run split of 2:28:03!

Load of total 
on instragram in the last week justifying T use after the announcement to test amatures at Roth.
Either trolling or just dont get its cheating. “You still have to do the training, it doesnt make you fit, it just helps you get out of bed in the morning, thats not a performance gain” etc.

Sadly Tom Bishop seemed to blowup badly… was watching a bit on my sun-lounger until my phone battery got too low. 
(Forgot to charge it last night)

Really thought she had second sowed up when she moved into it.
Perhaps it is time for him to find alternative employment?

Did he go into it with ‘best ever training numbers’?
