2200 people out of t1 in what? 45 minutes?
That's my point. Too many cyclists, on too little road, in too short a period of time. However, no one wants to do anything about this. There are some obvious solutions, but no one wants to adopt them.
1. Reduce the field size( Financially impractical)
2. Wave starts( personally I hate them - you never know where you are in the race)
3. Killer bike course profile right out of T1( impractical)
4. Total road closures, so full width of the road can be used( impractical)
5. Revisit the drafting rules( impractical and impossible)
6. Draconion implementation of the rules( Impractical and pisses too many people off)
. . and so on . . . and on we go with a debate that is almost as old as the sport itself
