Kona 2025 IM World Championship Race Day Thread

Lol…looked like a team time trial there for a few seconds.

Would love a fucking split screen right now…

Knibb is hammering and dropped the group, but still hasn’t made much progress on Lucy

Am I seeing things correctly? Does it look like cat Matthews is going to get a penalty?

For slotting in

I think Blummenfelt has a relatively upright position also, it seems to work well for some athletes

Also let’s not sleep on Marjolaine…she’s cycling faster than Perterer/Lovseth/Philipp/Matthews

Yeah Australia like Lionel are just podcaster those days

No doubt, it’s all that balance of power, aero, and comfort. Superman position isn’t worth it if you can only hold it for 25 miles

Knibb losing ground to LCB.

Holly is like sprinting, no way is that sustainable

It’s a long day and they’ve really just begun.

One major advantage that Lucy has over Kat and Laura, is how fit she is for swimming. Unlike a wetsuit swim, this ocean swim takes way less out of the legs of a pure swimmer. Let’s see

We always hype how great of a cyclist knibb is, but perhaps we need to give LCB credit

Just a general reply. I registered for the Outside free account for Kona last year and have not used it till today, and it seems to be working OK

Listening to Taylor in some of the interviews, she often related to Ryf’s record ride, and how that happened very late in the race. It felt to me that this is her plan today, ride her own normal watts, set up for a late charge in the last 40 miles or so. So holding steady with Lucy right now seems about right, as Lucy just goes one speed the whole way, fast….
