The entire event (IM) is like "death by 1000 cuts" and the best race is minimizing all those cuts and losing less blood than the other guy. - Dev

Lange get a pull into town like Kip on Napoleon Dynamite

Kienle's Twitter says he had a mechanical and needed a new rear wheel. Ouch

Vino with a 1:13 swim.

They're getting some great coverage.... arguably better coverage than Ventum haha. It will be very impressive if Costes can hang with guys with FTPs north of 400w.

Anyone want to set an over/under to Costes blowing up? Not rooting for him to, but just saying

Charles is looking good on the tracker. Haven't seen too much of the women on the video coverage.

This early in the bike I’d say his chances of blowing up are great.

Never noticed the air gap in the BB shell on that Orbea before (Starky). Is that new? What's the deal?

Is there a women’s race?

Seems to be the case most years... shameful in this day and age. I'm actually more interested in the lady's than the men's this year.

Charles is putting time into Ryf on the bike now

Lange has a fair amount of upper body movement while riding

Currently, it looks like a race for 2nd. Let's see if that holds up.
