Gomez has been hiding injuries for a long time. We even don't know if he was 100% at Kona.
After London OG, he starts to run massive volume and was really successful... But with the Rio build up...
I have the feeling that he wants to be back on the ITU circuit only because he is feeling that his body is back on track. We have the same phenomenon with Alistair Brownlee. When he is 100%, no one can beat him and actually, I don't believe that we have seen an athlete with higher athletic performance in the 3 sports.
Honestly, we can say that Mola or Luis are now better but on my personal view, with no Brownlee and Gomez, the race dynamics were really different and probably, less competitive.
BTW, what's up with Alistair. Won't be shocked at all if he wins Tokyo...
