Today: Reid,Al-Sultan, DeBoom, Macca, Stadler

Agree with that list. Lessing unproven still (as is Macca at Kona, really), Van Lierde hasn’t done anything recently, Bjorn Andersson still needs to run off the bike. Sindballe, Bjorling certainly up and comers…Sindballe, perhaps more than an up and comer as he performed well in Kona last year.

Espen_Wagener · September 15, 2005, 7:09pm

Oooooppss!

I forgot Cam Brown!

Guess he pushes Al-Sultan out of my list…or maybe Lessing…is he getting old??

Macca makes the list for what he’s done away from Kona, especially going sub-8 hours. DeBoom needs to post a result in Kona this year to stay on the list, but I have a gut feeling that he will.
