Edit: This is his first year as a pro, I believe he did 3:58 last year in Acapulco in the 18-24 category, but I'm not sure because it says he raced as an MPRO but there is not pro field in the race.

Tracker must have been lagging for me.
Very impressive run by Hernandez. I hope he can hang on. Solid effort all day

No, it's just that the bike course is 5 miles (or 8 km) short: https://www.strava.com/activities/7371898936
I guess that the NP of 340 watts speaks for itself, the guy can ride and that's the end of it.

For those of you marveling at how quickly he fixed his flat, while it is possible for a 3 min flat fix, he got a new wheel instead as per the on-course pictures

When ‘a guy’ happens to be Frederik Funk, defending champion and insanely strong cyclist, yeah sounds legit to me.
But perhaps that’s my European bias showing ;)

Oh. Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying that.

Does IM or anyone else keep some kind of record of winners, e.g. how many 70.3 wins etc. Like you would find in tennis?
Lionel must be up there in the 70.3 distance

Hard to tell exactly what wheel from the photos/videos on instagram but it was a very shallow front wheel. Definitely wasn't an HED or a big mfg. And it probably had a shitty tire on it too (crr wise).

Not that I know of, in terms of ranking by how many wins an athlete got.
The PTO shows you an athlete's results, but the oldest ones are from 2014: https://stats.protriathletes.org/athlete/lionel-sanders
Obstri has Lionel's results as early as 2010. I stopped counting 70.3 wins at 20 in 2018 (starting from 2010) because I got bored. The last 12 months are behind a paywall.

Unfortunate Flora didn't get to race today. Bike is stuck in Denver according to her instagram. That really sucks for her! Should tell the airline they owe her a few $1000 and a Worlds slot.

Ya this. Could have borrowed or rented one, got a quick fit to get it close and won. Or assuming she would have won. Not to take anything away from Tamara. Would have got slot though regardless

She could have probably won on a darn road bike.

Looks like it was a great battle for 2nd to 4th, just 40 seconds between them (Hernandez, Laundry, Beals), all 3 great runners, would have been exciting to watch

That's what it sounds like. Does seem a little crazy that she couldn't find a bike to ride. I know it would have to be specialized but come on. Plus she's used to riding a roadie normally it's not like it would be different for her.
