Here’s is Thorsten’s table for Kona 2024 (the darker red the better with ‘white’ at one 
and NB in Bib order not predicted finish order):
poor leo chavalier lol never a cance to come 6, 5 4 th in kona lol
and rudy as always underestimated
Given the 30+ temperatures at Frankfurt . . .
This consensus statement provides evidence-based guidance and expert recommendations on the recognition, diagnosis, and immediate management of Exertional Heat Illness* (EHI) in the pre-hospital environment.
*Exertional Heat Illness describes a syndrome related to a rise in core body temperature and disordered thermoregulation during, or immediately after, exercise and can range in severity from mild to severe.
Severe EHI is commonly referred to as Exertional Heat Stroke (EHS): EHS is the current recognised term for severe EHI internationally.
‘Shade Strip, Spray and Fan’ (S3F) is effective for the treatment of mild EHI
and, when cold water immersion is not available, for severe EHI. However,
rapid cooling with cold water immersion is the preferred and most effective
method of cooling in severe EHI.
Yeah, as mentioned in the other thread, the film being full of Trevor Foley and other non-starters is confusing AFF.
30 degrees in Frankfurt is nothing 
Back in 2019 it went all the way to 37 end of bike and start of run, never seen mayhem like it before! 1/3 dnf. For the pro race i would assume it gives Lange an actual chance to finally win frankfurt
and people were banging on about IM Cairns being a “hot race” at 24-27C

I think someone hacked Mulen’s account

36’c on the run when I did it in 2015.
Certainly several have argued that Ditlev going deep in 2023 and 2024 might have affected his IMWC performances (Nice and Kona).
The men’s IMWC is on 14th September, 11 weeks away.
Low humidity (<50%) btw
- Ditlev
- Blum
- Lange

and for those not blocked (or with a VPN) the live stream (from 4am UTC for a start at 6:20 local):
So it will be hot in frankfurt, but at least some shadows and pros done by 2 just when it hits 30 deg.

humidity will pose more problems than the ambient temperature.

He looks ridiculous. Maybe this is a time when a good mate should have a word.

That is incredibly cool. Rudy continues to give zero fucks about what Slowtwitch thinks about his headgear 
Maybe someone could start a fundraiser? If you pay him enough, I’m sure RvB will switch to a perfectly acceptable baseball cap. How much do you really care guys? Skin in the game!
