In more important news, no return of the white suit for Frodo & ze Germans

blood, sweat...and big gears

What kind of helmet was Simon wearing? Looked like an aerohelmet - are they even allowed to wear those?

When will Brownlee Jr take his 15 secs. Tactically must be better to take & chase?

Most likely on the last lap once everything has settled out and the select group will usually have formed and the medal contenders are alone.

TRIATHLON
The lead group are on their last lap of Hyde Park now and it is still very bunched at the front of the course. Russian dangerman Alexander Bryukhankov is right up there on the shoulders of the Brownlees. The chasing pack is about one minute behind.

And with that, I've got to get back to work. AARRGGHH!!!!

Later!

Definitely an aero helmet.

Brownlees already creating a gap.....but when is the penalty served...Bevan Docherty just behind but already a 50m gap behind Brownlees and Gomez.

Everyone is talking about Gomez getting the silver because of the 15 second penalty on jr. I say bullshit he is getting the GOLD.

Perhaps I'm too much of a newby but how come other athletes aren't wearing the long tailed helmets?

What a insane pace. Balls out racing.

Home field advantage. Having so many people screaming for you must be great.

How is it possible that Hunter K had a slow transition? Did he just blow his race?
