So starting with today with the USA cycling national championships and ending on Sunday with Roth and Mt Tremblant 70.3 with the Canadian cycling national championships, Western States, and WTS Montreal in the middle, which one are you most interested in? Gotta be Roth first, with Mt Tremblant and WSER a close second and third although very interested in how Paula and Taylor do in their respective TT’s.

WTS
Always interested in real racing by the best, which I think WTS is.

This, with knobs on! Hope the swimmers' moto aero benefit is minimised and that the free youtube covers the chase as well as the front few, both men and women.
PTO news?

So Taylor raced today in this short TT and now she is flying to Montreal for the WCTS race on Saturday??? In any case, 4th place is very impressive. How long was this TT and where was it??? (Sorry but I don't follow cycling.)

Results-wise: Roth.
In terms of which I’m going to watch more intently: WTCS Montreal. Roth is 8 freaking hours of mostly no action.

I’m very curious how Sam Long will perform in this one. He’s proved that he’s doing extremely well with 70.3 races, so it’s about time for him to show us what he’s got in full distance.

So about 27.3 mph in a light rain where she abso had to go more slowly on the curves. Extremely impressive and I guess flying from TN to Montreal is not a huge flight, prob around 4 hrs or so. Thanks for the info and link. :)

Add Marathon du Mont Blanc to the list. I love this race and Western States. Will be following both. But most excited about Roth and hope they post it on YouTube.

No.

Roth will be YouTube live (and here). CDA on IM Now. Elsinore 70.3 on Outside Watch. WTS on its platforms.

Road Racing and TT championships for various countries are underway and have been interesting. Roth is going to be killer too.

Honestly though I'm disappointed. There are commercials I've seen here in the States about monster trucks and that was the first thing I thought about when I read this thread. I'd rather go see one of those things this weekend! ;)

Correction. What I'm really looking forward to is Cam Wurf racing his second Ironman in a week.

If there's anybody who might be able to back up two IMs in 8 days, it's probably a pro cyclist.

Still...Good Lord.

If you try this, you're either a blithering idiot or Cam Wurf.

That Venn diagram probably includes some overlap. (Pretty sure Cam would agree with that :) )

Is there a chance MTB 70.3 doesn't happen because of smoke
