For those that are using setups like this, are you able to grab the bta bottle and drink without getting out of aero?

Magnus in Miami not following the trend.....wonder why that is ?

You get higher, but don't sit all the way up. Sam Long stays pretty low when he does it. As often as possible I'm doing it going up climbs, so it's not such a loss.

But ya. I've considered the fact that you don't hold position. For this reason I did prefer the hydration bladder, but oh well.

I truly believe that it is true this time. I know they have been too quick with info at times, but this is actually happening...

DFRU - Detta Family Racing Unit...the kids like it and we all get out and after it...gotta keep the fam involved!

If true we need a Jack Kelly podcast where they announce it and discuss their plans.
(Kind of pink)

Mark Mathews said on the podcast Jan confirmed it to him directly, so unless he is making up conversations he never had..

I know that Sanders doesn't have the best history when it comes to keeping coaches, but there a few bright lights if this rumour is true:
-Frodeno might have enough star power to tell Lionel things he doesn't want to hear
-Sanders genuinely seems to portray that he has only a few more years at the top level of the sport and so there's no more messing around.

this rumor is true.

If there is one person in this world Lionel will listen to, it's Jan.

I'd guess we'll see Lionel in Ryzon pretty soon. Smart move for Jan to bundle his services as part of the deal if so.

While it’s possible that Frodeno is coaching Lionel, here’s why I’m so intent on getting to the bottom of it and somewhat doubting the authoritative triathlon news source (that was placing Max Neumann at IM Cairns a couple of weeks ago):

1. Frodeno is 100% professional.

2. Professionals are hesitant to get hired for high responsibility jobs they have no experience doing.

3. When people pass on news mouth to mouth, WhatsApp message to WhatsApp message, nuance is lost. Maybe Frodeno is giving Sanders occasional feedback. Maybe he’s an “advisor”, David Tilbury-Davis style. Maybe he’s helping with race calendar strategy. But someone hears “COACH” (because, let’s face it, it’s what we all want to hear 😎). Or maybe he’s trolling, telling Matthews and others jokes about coaching Lionel which they play along with (or just take literally)?

4. If Frodeno had a standing coaching relationship with Lionel, why would they be cagey about it? They would be exploiting the crap out of it. Frodeno is a total media beast and a hilarious dude who can be supportive like a father, who can mess with guys, make a show of anything. He shines and makes people shine. The Canyon and Feed promo videos of this week would have triple the view number if they really featured Frodo instead of giving him a blurry one-second cameo appearance.

"FTP is a bit 2015, don't you think?" - Gustav Iden

They're building hype. Remember the tri-battle how they made it seem like it was like dare decided on a whim via social media but was clearly a well orchestrated, planned event between two guys who shared a lot of the same sponsors? They're getting the rumour mill going, and at some point there's going to be a big "reveal". They've got plenty of time to milk this cow.

And as we speak, someone is painting Met Drone helmet with 'The Feed' logo matching color of that Ryzon kit.

That’s a sensible theory, too.
