Hugo Milner now on the start list for Yokohama .will be interesting to see how he does
He certainly can improve and he is an amazing runner, so I’ll take interest (as you suggested). But I doubt he’ll be mentioned after the gun goes off.
The points I tried to make were that, like Milner, Jorgensen's USP is her demon run; and like Milner, her weakness is a non-front pack swim and below average bike strength so that both rely on others dragging the chase pack up to or close to the leaders, which then allows them to be part of the conversation.
On the 'mentions' element, ex-Olympic champion Jorgensen obviously has a much higher profile and is bound to continue to get 'mentions' however far back she is, because of the USA team dynamic / selection trilemma (Spivey/Jorgensen/Zaferes) means this topic will run and run. Quite likely Milner will "not be mentioned" after the gun goes off, unless the bike looks as if it's going to end up as a massive pack with him in it, when I bet there will be mention.
Where your imagination of "Gwen hating" comes from or why you think I "dislike you" are mysteries to me. Maybe confusing me with someone else? I think "stupid" is an overused adjective. I don't think comparing Milner's strengths and weaknesses with Jorgensen's is unreasonable.
Have a good ride and hope you enjoy Yokohama, live.
