shaper Posted October 10, 2017 Share Daniella has to be out and out favourite and am liking Sanders to do something I have seen advertised that is being broadcast on redbull tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_ Posted October 10, 2017 Share Ryf is going to crush it. I really want Kienle to win. But also want to see if Lange gets a solid bike and then smokes that run again. Edit: Watching Bart Aernouts too, that BMC team is super hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheelsuck Posted October 11, 2017 Share Lange comes with that German pedigree and he is blitsig on the run, he made history by killing the run course record with a 2:39hr from 23rd in T2 to podium last year, so if he puts in a solid bike he will run down everyone and make podium, Cunnama is an emotional choice so could be interchangeable with Lange-but he has had a solid year so maybe?

Garfield2010 Posted October 11, 2017 Share There is a couple of 02h40 runners and sub 8 hour finishers in the group. Gone are the days of winning this race by big margins. A single drafting penalty can cost you the race. Heck a flat tyre that gets replaced immediately can cost you the race. I can push you from the front of the field back to 30th. I think the think what also sets Kona apart is the wind and heat. I am going 1. Frodo2. Kienle3. Patrick Lange4. Patrik Nilsson5. Ben Hoffman6. Bart Aernouts5. James C Woman 1. Angry Bird2. Joyce3.
