Hi
Seems nobody has posted anything although the lists have been out for almost a week. i used the link provided on the thread
Anyone else notice that on the Ironman tracker...
and put M Pro and F Pro (as i did for Oceanside) and bingo ! IM takes more than a week to post after the registration is closed. Unfortunately i can not see the other listing for IM South Africa for example
https://sportstats.one/results/130475
So going through the 60 names here are the big names out of the 60 and many europeans will be coming from Oceanside:
Lange, Wilkowieki and Skipper (who would KQ) seem the main favorites for the podium
Angert, Hanson, and Goetswouters (IM Italy winner and KQ) are the other contenders but the level is quite lower after that and the SOF will not be great
Hurtzeler (CH) ranked 101,by the PTO Grosse-Freese (118th) a young German born in 2001 who ran well till he faltered in Hamburg, Cecarelli (ITA), (129), T. Davis (109) are some other names which are somewhat known.
Chevrot FRA is registered but will not be starting as he does not feel fit. Wonder if there is a waiting list like in 'ITU' racing.
I was amazed not to be see some names : i thought Marquardt would do the IM series as it is way fewer races for a MD student like him. Ditto Leiferman
I thought Hogenhaug, Petersen, Guilloux, or Magnien (a great runner who has ran IM Austria and Nice one week apart last year so he can take the load) would start their IM series season there. The level is actually not really higher than last year !
Maybe the limited number of slots played a role, but if few of the above list do not race in Cairns, the Serie is not quite up to my expectations
