It’s been quite funny - he’s gone off course in his last 3 races. And obviously has form from his first National 12 hour

Apparently Roth have also banned fake beer guts and aero fairings, so Skipper might be sh!t out of luck!

His latest podcast was so ridiculous. He “learnt his lesson” from the previous races and downloaded a gpx file for his Garmin. But just took a file from a prior year competitor without doing any checks that it was accurate or the course hadn’t changed! :person_facepalming:

The guy needs a PA/manager/soigneur type person.

Quality race from Potter in Montreal

That run must have hurt, a lot.

Wurf doing IM Nice tomorrow, second IM in a week. He’s got previous for this type of thing I think? He’s probably done more tris this season than the last couple of years combined.

Very cool because I think he will really help animate the WC in Nice. He can ride hard and crucially handle a bike.

My mate Wilf making his pro debut at full distance, was 3rd at Staffs 70.3.

Come on lad.

Not quite Tri pro but cycling (ex)pro - Sylvain Chavanel did a standard distance in france yesterday and came 26th. Only 4th on the bike split.

It’s a stacked race because there’s good prize money.

also Roth today

And ditlev, to be in a lead group of 3 at 35km?

And has Skipper missed the second group with Lange?

Great swim from Ryf really sets up the women’s race too given looks like she’s going well on bike
