Something I want to know with the new qualification structure.....where's a guy like Dreitz going to qualify for Kona at? Now it seems win and your in + added roll down spots, but a guy with this bad of a "run" will be interesting to see his race schedule.
ETA: I'm also not going to look specifically as splits from a race where outside of 3rd you were "wasting" your time finishing. You got nothing, so do I think guys "mailed" it in at some point, I do.
We just disagree on the tactics that were played out in Kona. Again I'm not saying what he did was wrong, I think it was easy to see that he was "working" for someone else. I'll let the commentary of the tri + pro community understand/assess that and stand on it's own.
Starky talked about this on the Brick Session. That we'll start seeing the true delineation between Pros who are racing for money and those who are racing to get to Kona. Where the appearance fee from Sponsors and bonuses for getting on the podium and then you'll have folks pull out when they're having a bad day and saving it for a race a month later.
