Where the heck is Zafares in this race? Spivey really en forme by comparison right now.

Very very strong. But similar to Summer in a way. Be interesting to see how she runs. If she can put down a 36 then should be inside the top 10. There is where I thought she would finish (5-10).

Yes Sophie looks to be super well positioned to take this one. I do think that she and Jess owe LCB a beer or two for shouldering the front of the fast swim and really stretching out the field behind.

I wasn't implying she wasn't doing well. Definitely better than when Wurf got demolished last year. Having said that, did not expect her to lose 2 minutes on the bike despite having someone as strong as Duffy doing plenty of work on her group.

Hindsight is always 20/20 coach, how about you predict how the run is going to go?

I love what LCB did to the dynamic of this race, no free lunch today!

Can see Potter running into a decent position now.

I honestly dont know how you pick KZ of TS at this point.

Duffy is a machine.

Is Spivey fried or is Flora absolutely motoring?

Flora looks incredible. If she's within 60 seconds....

LCB holding on pretty well behind TS.

Is Kingma going to win this thing?!?!

I think a lot could change on this run. Some big differentials even on lap 1.

We have no idea how Learmonth's run is. But if she's anywhere near she was last year, she'll be stronger than Kingma in the last lap. Surprised that Coldwell has let them go: assume she had worked harder than she should've on the bike. Charles-Barclay running better than many expected - she will not slow down. Is Spivey taking it easy, and then will put the hammer down?

With a 16:25 5km to her name the run speed was always there. It's whether or not her efforts on bike catch up with her. But doesn't look that way. BP and Beaugrand probably will catch Lopes.

You know, if I was choosing 3 women for GB to take to Tokyo from a purely strategic perspective (and ignoring selections already made), after today I might have sent LCB. Her swim could help win it for one of the other girls.

Can Beth catch LCB and TS? Wouldn't rule it out.

Surge by Potter is huge. But LCB sticking with Spivey has been impressive.

X2 She'd help shed and put time into Nicola who is looking pretty darned fit at the moment.

Distinct possibility. With her, Caldwell and LCB today, it does show you how strong UK women are given none are going to Olympics (obvious for LCB).

If they did a re-election it would be interesting.

Worried Learmonth is going to fall over!

Very impressive from Kingma. And given Learmouth's lack of running also impressive.

LCB top 5! In our face!

Superb from LCB. That's pretty much perfect.

Spivey gets out-run! Potter must be the fastest.
