Ali B on Breakfast with Bob

He’s on the start list for Swansea 70.3 in a couple of weeks, which I guess will be contingent on how this weekend goes. Maybe he’ll just focus on staying fit for 70.3 this year and build to Kona next?
That wouldn’t be a bad idea, especially as the 70.3/140.6 WC double doesn’t look feasible with the 70.3 2/3 weeks after Kona so it may be a softer field.
Although I would bet against KB having a nibble at both….

Started watching the women’s Canadian open, stopped watching it fairly soon after the swim, as much as they tried to talk it up it really wasn’t interesting me let alone exciting me.
Keep flicking back to it so see how it’s unfolding. Could have done with men & women racing so more would be happening.

We are watching it but the coverage is pretty uninteresting. I hope Eurosport didn’t pay the PTO for the rights to broadcast this. No idea how that side of things works to be honest.

Odd watching Alex Payne, an excellent rugby broadcaster, catching triathletes and coaches at the side of the road.
Still better than IM coverage.
Anyone watching the PTO, bloody hell Lionel can’t even run in transition and I think he’s worse in T1 than me

Yep, honestly I dispair how a leading professional can have such a shit T1.

Ah well, their loss. Tried the PTO website but it just errors.
There are some links on the PTO live Youtube stream but not sure where that takes you as I’ve got Eurosport.
I’m also watching it on Eurosport, doubt I’ll see it to the end. Ali doing well on the bike but I suspect some will run him down.

It’s on GCN if you have that.
I think he’s already publically stated that he’s well short on run form after his injury, so he’s racing himself back to fitness. There were rumours he’d Hail Mary the swim bike, and just see what happens on the run.

That’s generally been his racing career!
He’s no mug on the TT bike.

Lol yes the Ali run: hair out of T1 like it’s a super sprint, get caught by chaser doing steady pace, pull up lame.

Same here, run could be interesting but I think KB will run past them all, depending on Iden’s fitness
