Ironman Texas 2025 - Predictions and Race Day

Knibb and Zilinskas have caught two male pros: a happy little quartet!
Notably Knibb has not dropped Zilinskas so that says to me that Knibb is (deliberately) riding well under the power should could sustain (based on her 70.3 bike pace). Further evidence: Matthews is matching Knibb’s times/pace (only a second a km slower).

Do Mortal and Maurten have food dyes in them?

Food die would improve the Maurten product by some margin…Mortal probably has a million in them haha

I wonder if she will pull a Ryf and put a charge in toward the 2nd half of the ride

Mine is fine

Wonder what happened to Marquardt. Almost 10 min back.

Couple of surprises, Marquardt is way way down like 49th 9 minutes behind riding 10 minutes slower through the first 23 km. Mechanical or cramps like in Taupo. Robert Wilkowiecki also having a bad race. He seems to have lost several steps since his heart issues last year.
Also the front riding faster than the riders in the back. The pack looked really close on the narrow road, and officiating is tough on such roads.

Serious question - do the commentary team know there is a tracker app where they can check information before sounding completely incompetent?

It’s not like it’s such fast moving action that they need to know immediately what’s going on.

Perterer and Matthews riding together. Perterer has gained 20+ seconds on Knibb from 12 to 17 miles.

Hope he asked them not to deport Lionel.

Does anyone know how IM is using the device trackers they are making all the pros use? Can we see any of that data?

Is that what the bulge is on their backs?

Where is sodaro?

Gustav in first place

Blu right behind

They have broken away from the rest

Yes

This could be very interesting… definite separation and no way to pack can let those two ride off
