Who?

Long overdue. Lionel has really made an impact for Inter Miami and soccer/football in the US, overall. Heck, he is the top scorer in MLS and his team is advancing in the semifinals.

I am already deeply regretting this.

I heard on the internet Lionel kicked LCB in the swimming pool, and hence she has the foot issue. What do you think of her diet change? Would she had a chance at the olympics in Paris if she wouldn't have changed? Some say Lucy gets all the attention even in threads not about her, but she is the most interesting athlete in triathlon. Lets discuss Lucy more.

This thread is really going to be something.

Hi Lionel! More chewy in the videos please!

Talbot - our challenge to you. We know he's partial to Discord but please convince Lionel to reply (at least once) to this thread. Thereby justifying its existence and absolving Ryan of all doubts of it's folly.

I just think it’s funny that a professional YouTuber gets top rung on the ladder.

Lionel Sanders...greatest Canadian TTer of all time, defeated Jens Voigt + Eddy Merckx + Francesco Moser + Jacques Anquetil over the hour with a 51.304 distance measurement!!! (correction, Moser went 51.840 in 94 defeating his own 1984 51.151....the latter Lionel beat)

Thank you Lionel...triathletes can now hold their heads high in the presence of roadies from now to the end of time in spite of not being able to hold a straight line !!!

Now we can carry on with Lionel theo social media content king, which we may interchangeably swap with Lionel the 2xIronman worlds runner up.

think he could hold off Derek Gee ?

there is a reason roadies don't try it and this record will hold

Why not sticky some of these other popular threads?

As it stands Lionel is faster than all Canadian roadies ever over the hour and beaten many TdF, Giro, and World champion cyclists (albeit on different kit). So it is up to Derek Gee to take down the 2xIronman Worlds runner up now. Until then, he is holding the 51.304 mark !!!

Lionel could have an amazing triathlon parody account just buy continue to tell his story. But, maybe that's normal triathlon life and he's the only one honest about the reality?

I agree with this. I think you can only compete with whoever shows up. So until Gee or anyone else actually tries it and does better, it is irrelevant if someone out there "might" be faster.

Love to see this threat at the top!! As a huge fan of Lionel, I want to see him doing better at everything and getting attentions like this counts as well. He looked a little less energetic in recent videos. I hope he figures things out quickly and brings back old crazy full of energy Lionel back. Until then...

Because this is the official Lionel thread, here's the latest video.

I get that but people have been asking for stickies for years. Dan seemingly was against it. Why the change now?

I simply said that we'd offer this one as a sticky if we got enough votes for it.

We did.

Pretty simple.

Now back to the topic at hand -- shouldn't there be fresh Lionel video content by now? Some kind of PTO announcement reaction? LET'S GO. THE PEOPLE ARE WAITING!

This thread came too late and missed the peak of the Lionel Ridiculousness. It's pretty apparent now that Lionel is what he is. Similar to most of the Lionel fanboys came on board after his YouTube popped off which was after his 2017 2nd place at Kona. They would have loved that moment so much.

Just wait after he races a couple and videos get posted. This thread will blow up.

Just to keep things moving…
If the PTO don’t sign Lionel next year. Do we see him switch back to long course?
