" would guess that it would be much easier for a sub-5 hour ironman cyclist to do a couple of weeks of speed work and be able to handle so surges in an ITU style race than it would be for an ITU style racer to hop in and crank a 4:45 ironman split."
it really depends on the background. I talked with Gordo about that, he has been unable to counter attacks in bike races in NZ (maybe it has changed)...
There are also some ITU guys that can ride very well and would post fast time with no problem (lessing and co)
