Great to see Kyle at the front starting the bike. KB rocking an EZ Gains. I wonder of Kat out in 6th, 2:30 down. Beat Steph.

No Clutterbuck out of the water yet, I wonder if she had the same problem she had at IMAZ where she pulled out after the swim. Great swim for Tamara.

Do you know what her problem was at AZ?

Trevor with the best swim of his life. That boy can run so if he can stay near the front of the bike heā€™s got a real chance at winning.

I actually ran into her as she and her partner were walking out of Transition with her bike and spoke to her. She had some kind respiratory issue that I think she has since diagnosed, I just donā€™t recall what it was.

B talk more about the sponsors atheltes have blums cadex Phillips surpass Tri sits s works bike etc

Otherwise weā€™ll not that good so far in terms of commentary I assume they donā€™t sit in the same room and the chimstry is not that great yet .

Camera work poor the timing graphes on screen useless

Berry has dropped the rest of the FP: Wilms/Clarke/Langridge 20m trio 30 secs back. Berry riding very slightly faster than Matthews. Jewett going backwards fast.

LMAO HOW CAN THEY NOT NOTICE THIS RIGHT NOW?!?!

Wow, Hannah is so far forward. Her chin looked to be in front of the bottom of her fork.

54

These commentatorsā€¦thinking that it is an aero water bottle for carbs :laughing:

55

This is just embarrassing.

56

Are both his aero bar/pads still attached, so what is the actual piece that has broken? Ah I see it now, the base pad is but the extension has broken off.

57

Left bar still attached, right bar broken off above the elbow rest.

58

It always is embarassing.

60

There is an aid station at 45km - v soon. KB can ditch broken and ride on right hand reaching across to left extension, blip on base bar.

Has Matt Hanson become a uber biker or is he on a suicide mission?
