After Chelsea’s performance, I hope the other USA dark horse, Colin Chartier, over-performs. He looked like he had a lot of gas in the tank at the Dallas PTO finish.

Watching the Kona Vlog series on the Lionel Sanders Youtube page, a top 5 finish wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Since my women’s predictions were completely off I figure I’ll try again for the men 
.
Everyone seems to be on the Norwegian hype train so I’ll take a different approach. Maybe there is something special about the island that demands a little respect? Seems like blu and iden are looking at it like just another race. I predict a dnf for blu and a blow up for iden.
I think Lange will win (unless he quits again) and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Braden Currie up there contending. Maybe another American can take the win (chatrier?)

I was right to worry but should’ve gone with my gut that it would be a massive pack.
Hard to see past Blu now. His to lose.

5min Penalties for Angert and Mignon…
I just don’t get how Blum is as fast as he is with his dad-bod and AG’er position on his bike…

I’m just tuning in for a moment. Is anyone using that mahoosive HED 180mm wheel?
Yeah, several guys are using it.
Oh yep, there it is.
Agree with you about many of the riders being far faster than you’d expect based on their positions.
Ouch penalty for Ditlev could ruin the podium.
That’s a big disappointment,
@Power13
It’s great to remind amateurs (and coaches) you don’t need to be a racing snake…but you do need a massive engine.
I’d kill for a dad bod like that, I bet it’s 99% heart and lungs.

Think the same.
But wow the running form of the runner-ups right now. Looks amazing
It’d be awesome to see Iden win since he road a Giant Trinity which is a pretty old frame
Race for 3/4/5 is on and a suite of great guys on for it
Ditlev and Skipper rising together out of T2 11-10-9-8th
Is Laidlow going to do this?!?
