She looked cooked (very red-faced, more than most) at the 'Aussie exit'.
We saw that several of the other top pros (both in Miami and here) who DNF'd fronted up to the cameras to say why they pulled the plug. The Pros had been 'asked' to do this, so this may explain why Frodeno expressed his disappointment with 'clarity'.
He didn't knock her for dropping out: she'd had a rubbish swim and continued to lose time on the first couple of laps on the bike. She has already validated her IMWC AQ start slot so could concentrate on the T100 series alone, missing Ibiza the weekend after Nice. She finished three races in total last year: she needs to finish at least 8 this year (from now, 4 x T100s and Nice). If she doesn't (I predict) she will not get a T100 contract next year. At least she still has her (various) Canyon bikes for 2024.
