The racing is great, but like last year the PTO has shown its poor officiating is actually getting in the way of the race.

ProTriNews take (Pat/@talbot cox/@tritalkingFacts):

My favourite part of that podcast was the very straight-faced rundown of Youri Keulen's coach's background...
Well there were lots of excellent obliques but that minute was articulated with 'care', brimming with subliminal insight.
I hope Keulen did not inflict any lasting damage to himself. "Put me back on my bike!"

This is mentioned over and over again at every single race, but the T100 is really missing out on storylines by not covering anything other than the front of the race. I’d have never have know this battle happened without stumbling onto these comments.
Tbf I thought that the coverage did better than any race I've seen before to catch many of the significant movers. I'm sure Chevalier and Weiss had a great battle (and for survival) through the run but it was for #12 place 13 minutes back while the winners were winning. Gutted (for McNamee) not to catch the Noodt melt as the 'Welshman' in the colours of the Scottish saltire ran past him and Smith ran past in the last mile.
We saw Long power past Chevalier and that was to move to, what. #18: well done for catching. We saw Brownlee work his way up to Noodt and Smith and then stoop for the penalty, and then chase Heemeryck, till he stopped. They gave Keulen fair coverage but recognised that alone that needed to be kept to 10 second clips (to recognise he was the hare and others hounds).
We saw the to and fro of Lucy squared. And Gentle inexorably gobbling up her deficit to LCB. Good coverage of the 5/4/6 woman train (Lee, Gentle et al, and then Visser) who seemed to cope with Race Ranger and that pesky 20m gap rule rather better than the men.
