It'll be fun to watch either way!

"your horse is too high" - tigerchik

It will be exciting. I head up there in the morning. The weather is going to be in the low 70s f high 52f low and partly cloudy on Sunday. If that is holds true there will be some fast time splits.

he will not crush the field. There are some good bikers here and Simon will not try to follow. Instead he will try to run them down (see disney). The field is getting stronger and stronger every year. Chris Legh was supposed to CRUSH the field in CDA, he barely managed a difficult last minute win

Hey Wim

first, no offense to Chris, but he is not in the same class as Simon Lessing (although we can conjecture, that without his Hawaii episode in 97, he would have been his equal)...

Second, except a super-bike like Bjorn A and to a lesser extent Chris Lieto did get away from Simon...who in some occasion has ridden as fast as Walto in short distances...

ok. Does anybody know is Chris Lieto is going to compete ? He witdrew from CDA with a hip injury ?

nope.
but Normann is going to Zurich.

hope you have a good one Wim...ready?

Simon will crush the field.

Simon will crush the field and become a top contender in Kona.

**All of these words finding themselves together were greatly astonished and delighted for assuredly, they had never met before**

yep.

Lieto is irrelevant to serious races.



His talent is self promotion not IM

he is not as good as I saw once on tri mag
"chris lieto, the fastest biker in tri" when larsen was still racing and Stadler and Hellriegel would outride him also...

but the guy won IM Moo (I think it was moo) second at LP...

kind of harsh comments you made...and really not true.

And yet he's won one more IM than me...what a punk.

"What's good for me ain't necessarily good for the weak-minded."

Francois and Bobo,

note the tense (I know grammar is not taught at school any more).

When did he last finish a race in any kind of quality position (or at all if you look really recently) ?

Harsh perhaps, but true

Half IM Florida 04...seems like there were some fine athletes behind him...like Bjorn A, Spencer Smith, Cam Brown and a bunch of others...2nd place 2' down lessing

IMLP03: a bunch of 'crappy' triathletes are behind...like Jason Shortis, Chris Legh, Ryan Bolton... 2nd place

who cares, he's hotter than hell!! ;-)

And that is as far as it goes ......

Would you mind me asking you a question?
you have something against him?

Getting second at IMF04 was pretty good. I think he has been dealing with achille problems too.

Francois, I'm thinking the drug lord is just a tad bit jealous! ;-) Second place? Come on that's the first loser! :-D Yeah he pretty much sucks! haa!

First, it was an half. Again read my first post.

I think his publicity is not even closely matched by his performance.

I take it you don't agree, fine by me. Imagine there being a disagreement!!!

well, let's agree to disagree then.

agreed !!!! (or disagreed ) whichever !!

He was second in Placid last year!! WOOHOO!!

Chris L was one of the coolest people on the "House of Pain" ride when I first started road riding, so I would have to defend him here along with you Francois.

you'd better defend me on everything dude...otherwise, these miles rep. in No.Cal will hurt a lot when I get there :-)

how is the post CDA recovery going?
