Just a complete guess but it might be to give the commentators a little rest

They could just sneak away one by one for a short toilet break or whatever. Again for bike racing that doesn't happen. They do show interviews in a split screen, which makes sense, but a random summary of what is still going on is silly.

Amazing, hope she can hold it down. 5:50 mile according to on screen graphic, beautiful.

In other news, comedy of errors in men's T1. Jan fumbling with the sleeve of his suit for a good 15 seconds (pretty sure I heard a "for f'ck's sakes" πŸ˜‚). Ben Kanute kicked his rear bottle on his flying mount, then hit a cone that bumped the bottle the rest of the way out.

Starky 1:10 down, Ditlev 1:36 down, Lionel 2:10.

ETA Lionel's gap

Yeah! Even Kanute was a disaster.

The last few guys all almost slowed to the point of falling over before they got their feet situated.

As someone who is notoriously bad coming out of T1, this makes me feel a little bit better about myself.

I don't know. Literally there's 2 unions organizing their championship and the guy won both. Ok he hasn't won Kona or ITU or olympics, but he's got the half distance (which this event kinda is) locked down for now.

Jeez, Jodie Stimpson is trucking. Kinda reminds me of Matt Hanson in Daytona, actually. She's just in a different gear from any of the other leaders.


the still pictures i've seen (!) on twitter suggest the same - she looks strong! and apparently laying down 3:20 kilometers...

I actually thought she looks almost exactly like Paula's run style at Daytona. SMOOTH.

I would love to support Challenge and $2.99 is a steal. But I WIlL NOT add a CC to my Facebook account - it says ADD, not just pay this one time fee. That sounds like saving my CC online.

Do I misunderstand? Is there another way to pay like straight on Challenge website?

Thanks for the help!

I understand your concern. I linked a bank account to my Facebook profile so that I could use it for Facebook marketplace. I then tried to delete my bank information and Facebook will NOT let you do that. You can change it to a different bank account, but Facebook won't let you delete it. Talk about BS.

I wanted to delete it because of the way Facebook marketplace works if you decide to accept payment (as a seller) using Facebook. The buyer pays you and can easily back out afterwards, in which case Facebook reverses the payment. It's way too easy to be ripped off as the seller.

It's a glorified radio broadcast for the women's final minutes. Too bad this isn't on international women's day to really rub it in.

Immediate edit to mention this is sarcasm. You never know.

Yeah. As many of you said - so disrespectful to the women's race - to the athletes AND the viewers.
They're not just the warm up act.

Bleedin annoying when there was such good racing going on too.
Not to mention I wanted to properly see the Brit 1-2 😎

You folks do know that this production like cost a million or so and since it's on facebook for 3 bucks, the rights weren't really "sold" to any broadcast partner.

12.3K In stride viewers. And since this is a donation to the NASCAR foundation and not money going back to Challenge.

Basically only made $36,900 when you think about "PPV" events. This the live global audience.

Is Jan wearing the Carbon X or the Rockets?

Jan's 2019 kona shoe was carbon plated. It was a prototype that developed into the metaracer.

Lionel's teeth are out almost all the time now, he's nearly 1.5 minutes ahead of Chris Lieferman.

Unbelievable run.

Frodeno accelerating in the last 2 laps, but too late to snatch fastest run from Sanders I think. He is taking away time again anyway.
