True womens have the big 4 plus mat + gentle.
How can Gentle not be in 'the big 4' she's prety much the undisputed, undefeated champ?
Agree, and I'd also say that at this distance, an in form Knibb would need to be included for any "big #" discussion. Maybe hasn't won as many races but when she starts, she usually wins.

Well given @lassekk's 'big 4' are the Kona WC podium plus the St George WC IM winner, at 100k Gentle has to be favourite, in the absence of Knibb. The latter is racing in Yokohama 8 days after the Ibiza race and targeting the Paris test event, with the aim of AQing for the fiercely competitive USA team: that's her focus. But certainly with Gentle in the 'big 6'.
It'd be great to see Knibb with LCB and Gentle out of the swim and then disappear up the road on the bike, setting up a chase for Gentle and likely Sodaro. Guess we'll have to wait till Lahti.
Unsure whether Matthews will prefer helping test Race Ranger the following day. The PTO race will be only 13 days since Texas and 4/9ths the distance.
EPB and Philipp, on good days, will be in the mix. Stalking them all: a 1:13:00 weapon which the top 10 will be intent to keep 'out of harms way'.
