Easy, the best smack talker will always be Macca. No contest.

Michelle is still as easy on the eye, but her picks were atrocious for the most part. She redeemed herself with the Vasco pick though.

I have had a crush on Michelle for maybe 20 years..

This will be waaaay better racing than the time trials the Collins cup consisted of. Looking forward to it!

Agreed. Super League is the most exciting tri series to watch IMO. And the team does an excellent job picking good venues and having good camera setups. Excited to have it back

I'm excited for it. Even going to take a long trip to Malibu to race myself in the morning and then watch Super League in the afternoon. The perfect day.

Yup. Psyched. I'm in Munich. Will definitely go and watch. Maybe volunteer too.

I never knew this was in London and on Sunday, so I will be in attendance!

Anyone reading from Superleague know if there's a grandstand I can pay for tickets for? I don't want to get there and end up with a shit view with a load of casuals, I attend ITU grandstand every year I've earned my stripes!

Any idea how to get tickets/access to the Munich event? I signed up on the website* but there was no info as stated on the 31. August. Maybe I was too late though - registered on 29.8.

That link just says you can watch for free, no details of a grandstand or tickets or anything.

Do you want me to book it for you as well? ;-)

£200 a bit out of reach for me at the moment, I actually wouldn't mind paying that usually got a lot on this month though.

Good question. But I don't know. I signed up to be a volunteer via my triathlon club. But I have no news of that either. Are you in Munich?

Are they allowed to switch athletes in and out of the teams for different races? LCB hinted that she might be racing Malibu.

.

They will allow Wildcard picks and have a few already announced for London.I am sure Lucy will be given a spot if she wants and they will probably need her to fill in Covid related vacant positions. She is in Vegas at the moment so it looks like a 70.3 Worlds race is on the cards the week before Malibu.

Yep, I am in Munich. Which tri club?
Let's see if there will be more info closer to the event.

I'm in SCPE but I signed up to volunteer with my kids' club, Karlsfeld. Actually just received the details about helping on Saturday. This should give me tickets for Sunday.

i did not expect the field to be that good...nobody is missing but Duffy, Knibb and the norwegians. SL is not my piece of cake but if i have a chance i will try to watch it.

Spaniard. Sorry for my english for the sensitive ones :P

Yes. The field is excellent. Local info. Quite bumpy road surface on that side of the park. And a shame they didn't integrate using the stadium. Anyway. Should be awesome. And weather getting better.

It really depends on the venue, but there may not be a grandstand, but instead VIP zones, which would get good viewing spots and a beer tent. Not sure the details on purchase though. I haven't been to their championship events, but I have been involved with qualifiers, and it was great action (and better in person than on the screen for sure). The folks in the VIP seemed to be having the most fun, and by the end of a hot day, I was extremely jealous of their beer access.

Looking forward to watching the month of races on line this year.

I saw others asking about LCB, they will always do wildcards for each of the cities. I suspect that there will be the most spots open the WTCS Hamburg weekend, since several athletes are also on that start list. But they have already announced that Flora Duffy will be racing Malibu as a wild card, and I think it would be great for them to have Flora vs. LCB at that event, so I can't see them saying no...

Triple mix is a great format for London (also one of the original formats, and actually the format for the first race at Hamilton Island if memory serves), since the dynamics change significantly when you flip the orders...

I reckon Jonny Brownlee for the men tomorrow, Jess Learmonth for the women.

I'm picking The Tim Don Eagles as my team since it's got loads of Brits in.

Excited to be racing on the same course as these speedsters on the 25th!

Next races on the schedule: none at the moment

Plenty of space to watch this around the track if you're in London get yourself to Canary Warf, wish I wasn't in work tomorrow I could sit in this bar and drink all day with a decent view of the finish!
