We are at the Ironman World Championships in Nice, France with the official bike count. With the new website we get to do all sorts of cool stuff, like this: a LIVE BIKE COUNT. The following results for bikes are going to change live as we add bikes to the count.
For now I only see a picture of a Cervelo but no count. I assume this will happen as the athletes roll through (it is only 3 pm right now in France, so perhaps the count will refresh soon)
Uhm not seeing anything here on the thread and on the link, the data is not aligned to the Brand titles… but hey - cool beans
I’m seeing data. Cervelo currently in the lead with Trek and Canyon shortly behind.
No data appears for me after browser refresh on a mobile device.
Thanks for the bike count. Any “tech” videos & reports are always my favourite.
Can you give us a heads-up whether there’s also a road vs tri bike count or anything similar?
As somebody who appreciated the toughness of this bike course, I’m expecting that many racers will be surprised negatively on how long it will take them to finish the bike course. This is for anybody riding roughly 2W/kg and on a standard road bike - one could roll 30km/h on a flat course with semi-drafting, but in Nice it’ll be closer to 24km/h, finishing the bike with a completely empty tank.
the link is posted in the title, not the forum itself
13.35% where on Road Bikes
Total is 983 bikes
Is that right ?
No. Keep in mind we have a lot “Dead Bikes” that we will be talking about. these are the brands that really arent even in business anymore so we stopped counting them in catagories and have lumped them into “Dead Bikes” 
Total bikes counted where 1090 and put into catagories
thanks
what is an example of a “dead bike” ?
do you know how many participants total checked in ?
it would appear lucy does not sell bike. looking at cube
i really dont get it is a solid bike
likewise orbea i dont get why there is not more
the other thing of note females do buy more from bike shops since unlike last year canyon did not win bike count and it was not even close.
@marcag look at this list from 2010 - there is a lot of brands here, that would be “dead” today, while they may actually still exist and people may still be riding them
Would love to know which 3 ladies are on Ku’s and where they end up placing.
On Android, I see the pie chart, although it is mis- formatted and pushed to the right of the text. And, no ID of pie slice colors with bike brand, i.e. no legend. For me.
Thanks
Pro tri news is claiming 1471 participants
Just wondering where those 400 bikes ended up. No show, dead bikes….
My guess it that Cube is just really hard to get outside of Europe. It’s not sold here in the United States and I don’t think there are many dealers outside of Europe either. It’s a shame because they actually provide an even better than Canyons in terms of price to performance in my opinion.
If a third of the participants are on road bikes, that also opens up to a whole range of brands that are less known in the world of tri.
Looking at the 2010 is kinda sad, so many brands that went belly up (and happy some of them did TBH 
)
