Tom, race is upsidedown. Stadler had gastro along with Faris.

My guess is that you're going to be a Specialized dealer next year.

So ITU Long Course World Champions Sindballe and Cave both leading?

Sounds like that race in Canberra did not get enough credit in the media!!!

crowie has run a 1:06 non-tri half marathon. HELLO! luke bell is out and so is cam brown.

macca and crowie are going to take it out strong out of t2 and neither tjorborn nor lieto can handle that. it does make me sad that crowie gave into the newton cartel

If I was the sponsor, I'd definitely want to be reimbursed.

Does anybody know how much income would have to be generated to justify a PPV event. I would drop 20 bucks for an all day feed.

Whoops... video down... That new Argon18 looks great. Saw the bike at Interbike. Very nice... Good shapes. Definitely seems faster than the old Mercury.

I don't think any of us know what's going on. The live coverage is absolutely awful. It's good if you want to watch the commentators talk incessantly about odds an ends at their folding table. It's terrible if you care about what's happening at the front of the race.

All I know is that a lot of top contenders have gotten sick or succumbed to injuries.

I'm giving up. Time to do some Art History reading!

I'm sure his pocket book isn't as sad as you are...

Yeah. Not great this year.

Better than nothing, but not by a whole lot to this point. Still time to save it. We shall see.

I'll bet if he wins he will express disappointment that both Norman and Faris were sick because all the Macca haters will be talking all year that he wouldn't have won if they were healthy. He will be gracious because he needs them in the race to cement his superiority, assuming he is superior.

maybe they should raise all IM prices by $10 and invest that into some technology that would allow the website to not have fatal errors and allow good coverage of the race. I love to hear people commentate as much as the next guy, especially when they are silent.

WTF? Now we're showing the banquet?

Good grief.

I'd have to agree with you on that one, Frank.

I don't think Brown is out. They said he had a problem, stopped, then the next update said he got back on and was riding again.

Go Albert Boyce in 6th place currently in 40-44, only a few spots behind Ken Glah.

Also nice racing Marky V and Ian Young in age group 25-29

holy sh!t is this for real??

Just to ensure that every thread can be converted into a Powercrank thread within two posts (and Frank has been a good boy) , aside from Dr. Tommy and Macca, any other powercrank riders up in the leaders?

This would not be Slowtwitch, unless a >200 post thread did not reference powercranks in some way!!!

Nice race also in 50 -54
