No question that McRae has the potential to do great things. It will be very interesring to see what he can do this year. Unlike Steve Larsen, McRae can swim and with a bit of work can be with the leaders heading out on the bike. This is a huge advantage. Larsen despite a decent amount of work on his swimming over the past two years is still giving up a big chunk of time at the start of the bike leg.
I really hope that ALL the key players make it through healthy and fit this year for IMH. If everyone does, it could be an outstanding race this fall in Kona. We have really not had ALL the key players toe the starting line now for a few years.
