So i watched the race yesterday and I just don't understand what the Slovakian was thinking.
The guy trains with the Brownlee's and JB said post race that he was a great mate, but I can't for the life of me figure why he did what he did unless he thought that he could hold on for a place.
He destroys the field with the swim, leads JB and the two russian brothers in to T1 - they exit T1 with a 30 or so second lead which they hold and extend to T2 and then unsurprisingly JB drops the two that are still with him like a bad habit, holds on for the win whilst the two that worked their arses off on the bike for him get swallowed up.
They clearly shelled themselves on the bike for him and played in to his hands - why did they do it? did they think there best chance was to have such a lead exiting T2 that they could hold on to place?
