John Levison (tri247) offers his picks for the women's and men's races:
https://www.tri247.com/...tri247-rankings-sept
1. Ryf
2. Charles-Barclay
3. Haug
4. Philipp
5. Matthews
https://www.tri247.com/...tri247-rankings-sept
1. Blummenfelt
2. Iden
3. Ditlev
4. Lange
5. Skipper
Ryf (2015-2018) has to be favourite and will ride down LCB on the bike. Matthews and Philipp will duke it out for second, with Haug losing too much on the bike. Charles-Barclay will conclude when/if she gets to the Energy Lab that 26 miles is more than twice 18km and ease off to save herself for the defence of her 70.3 title 3 weeks later.
Ditlev will catch the large front pack (8+) with Iden, Lange and Blummenfelt still adrift at T2 and Skipper a little further back. Iden will catch Ditlev for the win; but Blummenfelt won't. Skipper just one of several who could run into 4th if he can catch Currie.
