The top guys at 70.3 worlds are usually very high up in the points (beside some of the automatic qualifiers) so there is a correlation between how many points you have and how well you will most likely do at worlds.
Either way it will be interesting to see how he performs there as well as the other USA athletes.
On an aside, is RVB American or Italian? Again, RVB is an incredible athlete, nothing against him but how many USA athletes attended 70.3 Worlds last year btw? Any ideas why so many passed on the opportunity? Frankly, unless you are 1,2,3 it just doesn't mean anything. The sport is driven by Kona. Every single American pro, at least for Americans, understands that their sponsors want them at Kona. The big names are all Kona including:
Potts
Hoffman
TO
Russell
Hanson
Starky
Rapp
You might get a few American's at World this year because being in the US it is going to mean more to sponsors this year, travel is shorter, and frankly it is still decent Kona prep with so little travel involved, but I don't expect any of the top american triathletes to be gunning for 70.3 Worlds. This includes the new standout Chris L.
