Who is that racing without a visor or shades?

LCB is going to have company on the bike this time

If tracker is correct, Kat and Laura, solvig are out of contention for the win already.

Was that Hannah Berry with a loose helmet strap riding out of T2?

Always with weird transition decisions for Tk slowing herself down unecessarily. Why put your helmet on your bike and your sunnies on top of that helmet. All the fiddly f*ing around is frustrating to watch.

Whomever was second in the Knibb group had a flashing red light and was not executing a pass. Shame.

Come on Steve, admit it. LCB has this one in the bag lol

So it’s pretty irrelevant, she’s now in second and this will have nothing to do with how this ends.

Phillip out of T2 ahead of Kat, that’s not what Kat would have wanted. But now they can work together and she can ride her wheel like Laura rode hers in Hamburg

ha.. I think LCB wins but I’m not ready to say its over

She seemed to let her go without much of a fight or urgency

I guess kat put on calf guards

I disagree bc it shows her continued lack of preparation for race situations just like her inability to manage her nutrition and bottles in the last Kona. That lack of experience and preparation absolutely cost her a podium in that race.
