Federer, Nadal and Djokovic all have different profiles and sponsors and widespread appeal for different audiences.

It isn’t like Red Bull is the “must have” sponsor in triathlon.

No idea why my head went to tennis….

Well if you want to stay on the tennis theme then Red Bull athlete Lucy Charles-Barclay is the Maria Sharavpova of the triathlon world. She is extremely talented,beautiful,intelligent,very well presented and has a growing legion of young girls following her via her "Battle Braids" theme.She lives the Five Star lifestyle but is grounded enough to know how to make herself relatable..

In short, she is the perfect marketing package.....................and that is how Maria Sharapova became the highest paid female athlete in the world despite not winning all the tournaments..

Yes, except that she won all 4 majors, the tour finals and a Silver medal. :) She won every tournament that tennis success is measured by.

Frodeno could definitely be triathlon’s Federer, especially with the watch deal and all.

Yep..In my opinion there are several triathletes who have now transcended triathlon in their commercial worth,Frodo and by extension Emma Frodeno,Ali Brownlee,Lucy and Macca..It is not just what they have done on the triathlon courses but the power they have developed through their brands. These people would be highly sought after celebrity athletes in any setting and would easily fit in with the top tennis players and F1 drivers in a Monaco cocktail party. They are "Five Star" athletes..

I noticed Baekerggard got the sponsorship from Redbull(his latest instagram post), but Sam Long said they wouldn't sponsor him in his last video. He's getting more exposure, but still not good enough for Redbull? I don't know how sponsorship works. It's just my personal observation and opinion.

Too much low level, cheesy exposure. A lo-fi YouTube channel is not cool. Yo, yo, yo? Jesse Thomas was a Red Bull triathlete. He had a good story, is good looking, Stanford educated, smart and witty and is just cool. That sells. Long is not the Red Bull aesthetic and that’s okay.

James Lawrence is a Red Bull athlete

Id say that Sam Longs social media is at least twice as high fidelity as Daniels .... his photographer is probably his girlfriend or random people on the street
