No Jan in Oceanside
Quote | Reply
Well Oceanside 70.3 Start list was posted and Jan is not on it. Although Jan never "officially announced" he was returning to oceanside there was talk of it. I am sure he is still coming back from his stress fracture. Jan does not turn up to races unless he knows he is going to single handedly open up a can of Whoop A$$. It's a bummer to not see an epic North American battle between himself, Sanders, Kanute, Reed, Lagerstrom, Ect, ect....

There is nothing better than going to these events and watching them unfold. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning.

Also noticed Sebi was not on the 70.3 Texas Start list.

The last time someone other than Jan or Sanders won oceanside was in 2013 Andy Potts. Will we see a new champion this year?
With that being said who is your podium picks?

im really sad about this. i missed the pro panel last year and then he wound up being sick and not racing.

Lionel all the way. Just liked Frodo had something to prove the season following his Kona walk; now it's the Colonel's turn to at redemption and he's going to dominate -- despite who is or isn't at the start line. LS will have his best year to date. You heard it here on Slowtwitch mssg board forum first! LoL!!!

St George 70.3 2017. But Kanute was still pretty new to that distance at the time.

I would like to see Sanders again. I know a lot of people have issues w/ him, but he is really entertaining!

So can we expect most of these guys to show up to St. George instead? Seems like the appropriate high profile/high money 70.3 alternative?

But Talbot does! LS doesn't even want to tell people to subscribe to his channel. He's old school Burt Reynolds cool like that. It's just all about power and speed; everything else is noise.

Sanders and Kanute will be a good battle for sure.

I like that Kanute is going to Oceanside for the competition, rather than back to Galveston to defend his win from last year.

Given that Ben has finished 2nd and 4th in the last two WC against some very good competition and he raced well in the Super League (not really his distance) you have to go with him?

If like to see Kanute win, BUT I think Sanders will take it. That's simply based on the look on his face last year on course as he was losing...

Canyon just posted that Patrick Lange is in town for Oceanside 70.3. It wasn’t clear if he was racing.
I know he is not in the list, but I doubt they tell him he couldn’t race if that is his intention.

Disagree. Ryf hasn’t been remotely challenged in years.

I’m predicting Kanute to win.
