After watching Superleague this weekend, I was left thinking about which one of those athletes racing is going to make the biggest splash in long distance. It occurred to me that Vincent Luis and Murrary are both 29, so this is probably their last shot at the Olympics in 2020.
Which athletes who competed this weekend is going to be a Kona contender in the future?
It's hard for me to pick exactly, because these ITU guys look huge! Kristian Blummenfelt is an absolute tank, but typically that body doesn't hold up in Kona. It's also hard to tell because their bike skills are so tuned to agility and handling, not necessarily all out power. I'll say that Vincent Luis is going to have a Macca curve. Bigger guy, struggles a few times, but then figures it out in Kona.
