Quite a special human. ❤️ 28 minutes ago, dsw said: "Now I‘m old, I’m 30, and I started to realise that all those people who say they know, they actually don’t know.

Mountain Bru Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 I don't understand this Olympic triathlon story, or at least not the bike leg. Seems the whole field is together, cruising along. Why is anyone bothering to pace though? Then one dude literally just rolled off the front without any response from anyone, and it seems that no one is chasing at all, and he took a 15s lead on the bunch, but now they're chasing him on the run? Surely it's easier to chase on the bike with a drafting advantage. I don't really watch triathlon, but flip these tactics make no sense to me
NotSoBigBen Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 DSTV ai ai ai ... instead of programming for XCO on 207 as scheduled I see Darth Vader types with emaciated unlit sabers tapping each other #SMK

I will be rooting for Wout in both disciplines and I think he will most certainly be the marked man, He will need to ride the RR very smart. Soooooo, the podium were all TDF finishers and 2 of them were on the TDF podium and the other won the last 2 stages. Who was the highest finisher that left TDF early to prepare?

Who was the highest finisher that left TDF early to prepare? Highest placed guys that didn't ride the TDF were: A.Yates in 9th, Schachman in 10th, Almeida in 13th. Fuglsang I guess is the highest of the guys that pulled out of the tour in 12th, but he pulled out after stage 20, so I dunno if he really counts. Apart from MVDP, I'm not sure who else pulled out specifically to prep for the Olympics. Roglic and S. Yates abandoned mid race, but I don't think that was really to prep for the Olympics. It was more due to injury. If they hadn't crashed, there's no chance either of those guys would have abandoned the tdf. Vetplant and Long Wheel Base 1 1
