Ok he’s back on the tracker

Why didn’t we see Blu’s group go into and out of T2?

Do they only have one camera?

And another 20 seconds: gap down to 7:24.
Think Knibb gained into the headwind heading into Houston, and wonder if Knibb is now almost spinning out downwind (Matthews with experience of last year’s down wind 35+mph rush.
And another 15 seconds!

Fun to see cam back ripping the bike again. Very curious to see what it does to his run.

Another 20, 7.05 down…

Kat is putting on the watts ! I am surprised that she making time on Knibb now

Will make this an interesting run now. Money still on Kat M

Wonder if Knibb being cautious or not “really her day”?

Chevalier and Iden ended up 5.30 down in T2, Wurf looks toast already!

We will see;)

She looks great on-screen. She may just be setting herself up for a solid run.

This. For Kona need to decide what her strategy is: full on on the bike and risk Energy Lab onwards melt, or steady Taylor ride, generate a gap and run well.

Benito trying to hammer it, but KB looks like on a sunday stroll…Von berg 30 seconds behind

Kat cutting down much more! 6.25 down now…

Also, just to note Gustav is the fastest runner on course after the first couple miles, considerably faster even of the top 2 guys

I think she has too strong of a swim/bike to not take advantage of that. Not saying to go all Laidlow 24 and “blow up”and of course this is IM #2 so there is still a ton of learning / unknowns for her. But I’d push that bike power to force others to make decisions in the long run. Will be fun to see how this plays out now, and in near term future.

Call an ambulance, but not for Rudy!

he’s not even making the podium today, by the look of things.
In the meantime, very clumsy fall for Taylor when entering T2…

Falling off at the dismount line? Is she more tired than we think?

and gustav still going incredibly fast, getting through the field very quickly…he can still podium
