I see a lot of people in the forums here don’t know a lot about me and my team mates, Casper Stornes in particular. Here you can ask my anything, from training to the race in Bermuda and i can see what I have the time to answer.
is this guy who just won IM Talinn your brother ?
glad to have you here and willing to take time to answer questions
what sunscreen do you use that lasts through the long training and racing days ?
thanks

Hey Gustav - what format of triathlon do you prefer? And what is the hardest workout you’ve had in the lead up to the test event?
is this guy who just won IM Talinn your brother ?
Yes! He is my big brother. An athelte turned coach. Impressive time for a guy who says he doesn’t train (which all of us who is following him on strava know is a lie).

So far I have only tested sprint and olympic drafting, and 70.3 non-draft. I would say olympic is the most fun. There it’ non-stop racing for almost two hours, but with 70.3 the racing doesn’t really start until late in the running. But I for sure se the appeal for guys targeting a fast time and PB on the longer distances. Would be fun trying out 140.6 and Super League in the future.
The hardest sessions is always the first sessions in the heat chamber before you get acclimatized.
Well done
How hard was it to race 1 week after a grand final.
keep that t shirt from Thailand, I would suggest.
I hope a bike company will reach out and get you on a proper TT bike now! Well executed race in Nice!!
Incredible performance amongst stellar field.
I’d forgot he’d done this thread, fair play! Congrats on the win Gustav that performance surprised everyone, do you think you’re more suited to 70.3 than shorter distance given you’ve just smoked probably the most stacked 70.3 field in history or did the course suit you more?
How can you transfer this performance to Tokyo? Is winning Kona a goal and if so when do you see yourself jumping up to do that?
congrats on your win today.
do you know what your hat says in Chinese?
you have made many Taiwanese proud by wearing that hat.
it says the name of a temple in Changhua county, Taiwan
Incredible race – congrats! Made for really exciting viewing-
Congrats on the ITU podium!! Fantastic result for you and your country.
OK, here’s a softball question for you: I’m racing Ironman Haugesund this summer. What traditional Norwegian meal should I eat (maybe afterwards) to have truly experienced classic Norwegian food?
The most eaten meal in Norway is the Grandiosa Pizza, so I will say go for that one 
Frozen pizza is always a classic…
Huffnpuff - Maybe you’ll be brave enough to try some Lutefisk as well - haha
congrats on your win today.

First off, congrats on a great race Gustav, not surprised by the result, but seems you have surprised/shocked many in the triathlon world, well done!
@Culpritbicycles- Good shout on that, was wondering that myself.
@Gustav- Is there a story to the hat, interested to hear more about it!
you’ve just smoked probably the most stacked 70.3 field in history
yessss - slow clap
.
Epic win; epic field you beat. That was amazing
Top tube descending keeps up fine with TT bikes, on that course.
Pic of your bike? Is it exact same as ITU build for this race?
Kudos ðŸ‘
Congratulations on the victory. Tearing up against guys with a lot of long course experience.
You did something that many experienced triathletes don’t do and maybe fear to do. Racing with what you have vs. what you don’t You used to have an old Felt B-14 Tri bike but didn’t bring that with you. I noticed Kristian had his Shiv for this race, but you chose to keep with the Venge due to lack of sponsorship. But one of the things you also mentioned with GTN was adaptation to geometry. Do you think that affected the other athletes that switched to tri bikes for this race post Lusanne?
Into T2 with the GOAT and then you outran him… How do you top that performance?
Jan Fordeno was not racing today so how could he have out ran him.
AB is not in the top two of GOAT. Jan and Javier have done more in the sport and have more titles across more disciplines. AB might be top 3 of the current racers.
Gustav has proven that he is on track to be one of the top athletes in the sport and had an amazing day today. Can’t wait to see him win more events.
Nothing to ask, just wanted to say congrats on a great execution. It was very exciting watching you race and take down a lot of big name athletes!
but with 70.3 the racing doesn’t really start until late in the running.
Hey Gustav, congrats on today’s win. Amazing racing! After this race, would you say the above again?
