Thanks for posting. So far it looks like the men have suscribed to the "season long narrative" idea, unlike the women.
Unless I'm reading it wrong and it has to do with Kona being "more of a world champs" than Nice and the guys wanting to accumulate T100 races earlier in the season to be able to alter their prep with their minds set on 140.6 Hawaii later on.
According to Pat Lemieux, if you are a contracted athlete who regularly opts out of races after DNFing, you're reducing your chances to get another contract next year. May not apply to people who genuinely got injured or ambulanced out of the venue like Matthews and Pallant.
