Good swim for Lionel, but he blew time in transition

Meh this is long course, that wont matter and he's around a bunch of people even with the issues.

The burnt tips paid off!

The broadcasters talking about T1 when they are showing the bike really is not ideal.

Holy crap Lionel!! Sweet, he's gonna kick some ass today!

The entire lead group got lost following the paddler, who was not paddling the course. Lucky for them they figured out that in time to make a quick 90 degree turn and hit the buoy..

Great swim for Lionel, guess we can put to rest that his new hairdo has actually made some big gains for him. He was right near some big players, and a minute up on Long, so his best swim ever..

Curious to see if Knibb's position looks any better today.

Is Knibb doing Oceanside + St. George to stamp her Nice WC qualification criteria?

So exciting to see him kicking ass again!!

on to the bike, geens in 6th, lange in 9th, currie in 12th.
matt sharpe a decent shout for a solid performance today.

fenella out of the water in 25:00, 3 seconds up on knibb, and just blazing out of T1. knibb with another very slow but relaxed-looking transition. paula fourth but at +58. paula looks to have made up most of the time she lost to knibb on the swim just in T1!

man, that's a loooong jog around transition.

Knibb ate a sandwich and drank a glass of wine in that picnic of a T1.

So which unknown male pro will get clowned for "messing" with the women's race only to have the top women pro's come on here and defend his honor?

Thank god for free coverage, but man your watching an athlete on camera thinking they are 1st only to realize the camera pans ahead and he's in a long line of riders not the front guy. But it's free coverage, so I'll stfu.

I’ve been saying he looks scary. He’s positioned himself well in striking distance. Just wait and see he’s going all out on the bike and run.

Not according to her BB interview. Oceanside to validate for Taupo. That's all. She looked forward to her first race after Olympics being T100 at Ibiza (a week after Nice): she is contracted to race that as one of her 3 T100s before GF.

I understand it is free but this coverage is ABSOLUTELY Garbage!!

Why do they keep saying:

“Quote unquote” all the time ? And ..

“Absolutely “ after every comment?

It’s infuriating. I need to turn the sound off.

In all my years following the sport this is the worst coverage by a wide margin that I have ever seen. Not sure if its the same for everyone. I'm seeing about 2/1 for coverage/slash commercials.

I have audio from Paris Roubaix Femmes on and turned off Oceanside audio when I toggle back and forth :-). Its confusing watching oceanside with Paris Roubaix audio though!!!

Maybe they should have known what the athletes would be wearing and what they would like like before hand. Embarrassing talking about bib #7 when it is clear as day its bib #15 on screen

 

I'd happily pay for commercial free with better visual and better trained commentators (Dede needs a lot of work).

Matt Claiming Sperl isn't actually Sperl when in fact it is.
Now Dede mis-identifying Grace Alexander as Kate Curran.
