Currie says he’ll go from here to race IMLP against he who has his own thread: that’ll be his IM number 2 in the IM Pro Series (after the DNF in Texas).
i think that Skipper (if he has a OK race in Cairns), Guilloux, and Svenningsson who won LP in 2021 should also make the start list. Hanson, Marquardt, Rodriguez, Lieferman and Sanders will represent N. America
I know that it’s not in the IM Pro Series, but found it interesting that Anne Haug raced Nice 70.3 which didn’t have a pro field. Not a bad way to test out the course for September. I wonder if this was the plan even if she didn’t drop out of San Francisco last week.

Yep, and ran a 1:13 half marathon off a hilly bike course.

That seems to violate the PTOs injury clause of not racing within 14 days of missing a t100 race. At least if that’s what she invoked by not racing San Francisco.

At least if that’s what she invoked by not racing San Francisco.Well this is the IM Pro Series thread, but I’ve not seen that clause, have you? I know such has been bandied around but failure to race the contracted 5 of the 7 regular season races is a contract breach. How it’s sorted is between the PTO and Haug (and Neumann). Ultimately it is at the PTO’s discretion.
One has also to consider that the chance of a T100 contract for 2025 being offered is reduced.
Btw Anne wasn’t injured, she was counselled that with her medical condition, jumping into the Bay’s cold water was ill-advised. I don’t know why she missed Miami (think maybe 'too early, long season) and I think she eventually shared that she wasn’t racing Singapore becos injured, but I’ve not been keeping records
Was the half marathon at Nice short as well? On the tracker the laps were said to be 10.8km/21.7km/32.5km/finish. The T2 exit is 100m from the turnaround point and the finish is ?100m further down towards transition. So 2 equal laps of 10.5km in theory. Strava hunters can tell us.
It was mentioned in the press release about Max Neumann:
In doing so, Max is the first contracted athlete to invoke the T100 Injury Clause, which allows an injured athlete to miss two of their contracted six T100 races in a season by ‘working with the PTO on alternative marketing activations to promote the Tour without impacting the athlete’s compensation’ – as long as that athlete prioritises the T100 Tour in their return to racing. The fine print here stipulating that: ‘racing in another event within 15-days either side of a PTO Tour Event and NOT racing in the Tour Event, will count as a missed Event Obligation, unless otherwise approved by the PTO’.
And sure, Anne’s wasn’t an injury, strictly speaking, but I don’t think that magically excuses her from her contact so it seems like invoking this “injury” clause would have been the best move. Who knows what goes on behind the scenes with the PTO though? Certainly not it’s “owner/members”.

I think Anne did have a slight injury going into Miami and wasn’t healthy enough for Singapore.
