I think you're cherry picking here with your picks...the one where I'm vomiting a bit is Tine Deckers...ouch that's gotta hurt.

Washed up footy player turned Triathlete.

Posterior pelvic rotation accompanied by upper back/shoulder strain and not relaxing into aerobars
Posterior rotation fine if you can still relax into the front of the bike.
Ms Pallant is arched all the way through and elbows off the back of the pads, which is not OK.

How do you qualify shoulder strain from looking at an image? (With the exception of Pallant, I feel tight and sore looking at that)

I did notice the pink streamers on your road bike.

A lot of practice...
Main cues are muscles engaged that shouldn't be, scapulae pulled down, head sticking up (not in that order)

Agreed about the Specialized reservoir issue. Tape on Javi’s, Lucy’s top hanging off. When I first saw the design I though that was going to be a racing nightmare. Those two sealed my impression. It’s also an issue to me when, with a huge reservoir, they also felt the need to hang a rear bottle way out in the wind like that. Hydration is allegedly a thing in IM, or so I hear. Think harder, Spec engineers! Sorry about your new creation, Spec....but it just isn’t working. It’s only half-baked. And ugly to boot.

The reservoir that can't be re-filled means she needs to carry a BTS cage which limits how low her saddle can go even more than having the the sail itself. I'm going to guess that this shiv is going to be unridebale for people under under 5'5".

It's a good idea, poorly executed, even without the electrical tape!

One of the nicest pro's you could ever meet.
Not sure if he is on ST? You wanting to touch base with him?

Using the New Vision Groupset i'm guessing? The new Wireless groupset that is not actually wireless!!

Yeah, saw the bike first hand. Groupo looks interesting but I couldn’t get a closer look at it. Funny how it was released/ exposed in April but not yet to Market.

Googled some other images and you’re right looks like a wire from front to rear derailleurs.

Anecdotal, but heard of etap failures do to rainstorm the night before.

I still frequent now and then :)

I noticed quite a few P5x riders in the male pro peleton....

Yeah I responded to the other one before scrolling down and seeing the he had chimed in.

P4 in Kona 😁

Other than that hideous helmet, what is so bad about Anne Hauge's position?

There is always one....

Earth to triathletes....DON'T run Gatorskins for racing. Unless you're 50-54 Male. Then, PLEASE run them! Also wear a Rudy Project Helmet, two piece, sleeveless tri suit, have a bottle on your seat tube, and spend 1/3 of your ride on the bullhorns so you can see the road.

not really in the category of ''optimized triathlon'' position. she is probably fairly aero and that helmet is a good choice for that one specific moment.

In case anyone would like to see the full gallery (about 400 shots total), the direct link is here. OP, if you wouldn't mind putting this link in the first post I'd appreciate it. Also, the Omega X is a "brake," not a "break" ;-)

How do you get situated out there on the course? Must be hot and desolate and lots of waiting

Thanks for doing this, very much appreciated.

M2's looking at you :-)

Yes, battery, front mech, and rear mech are connected by wire. But the brifters on the road gruppo are detached. The $64k question on the Metron WE TT setup is whether or not there's a blip-box equivalent. If the TT shifters and/or TT brifters transmit wirelessly directly to the mechs, that would sure make this option more attractive, especially when "upgrading" a mechanical bike that doesn't have a provision for easily hiding an Etap blip box or Di2 junction box.
