Do you think Lucy Charles-Barcley will be able to defend her Ironman World title? 🏊🚴🏃
Long shot? 2 out of 5 chance?
I think she’ll make the podium but not sure about the win.
@@emmag00 What step will she hold on the podium 👀
I’m afraid she’s going to get hurt, now that’s she’s trying to do more races…and races even at the Ironman distance, that is extremely competitive. I don’t think she’ll defend her championship, and I really hope she is able to stay healthy in trying to defend it and in racing all the T100 races
I think it depends on Anne Haug, Ryf and other uber bikers. Taylor Knibb? This route favors climbers. If any of these ladies will participate we will definitely see a brutal competition.
James you are so right. Bike prices have become ridiculous. One of the most intimidating thing about entering into the otherwise amazing triathlon community was seeing crazy expensive bikes all around me in the age group bike section, and wondering if my $800 bike was good enough or even belonged there. I wish more bike companies would focus on making great entry level triathlon bikes, and stop pushing crazy expensive bikes that frankly only the pros need. Just my two cents. Thanks for all you guys do on the channel!
TT bikes cover a marginal market, so prices will be higher than normal bikes.
That said, 9k for a frame set is insane. 3-4k would be more reasonable for a top tier frame.
Me doing my first sprint tri next month on my steel frame 10 speed 😂
@@LePrimo420 I hear that, my friend. My very first triathlon back in the day was on a steel frame 12 speed 😆 good luck on your race
@@panzerveps totally agreed on both parts. Just so intimidating I’m racking my regular road bike next to one of those crazy expensive bikes at a local race, of all places 🫠
@@jonathanbrandenburg6508 I bought a used tt bike for a fraction of the price. You don't have to buy new every time.
Excellent thanks to the riders and clubs who make these events possible at the end of the video. Nice one @gcn
The top age groupers are basically pro athletes these days as they train anything up to 20 hours a week
Lucy’s out here playing that Jan Frodeno mind-game-keeping the rest of the field on their toes!
Video idea: do a triathlon with your normal gear (Canyon Speedmax, shoes of preference), so certainly not bare bones by any means, then do a triathlon with the most expensive gear on the market. In addition to time comparisons, you could also tell us if you think the top dollar stuff lives up to the pricetag. Tri spy is Jan Frodeno winning Kona.
Tri-spy is that Chris Macca McCormick
Yes - racing in Kona
Seems one of the good things about having several challenging formats is that athletes are having to be realistic and come to terms with what they can focus on and do well as opposed to attempting to over achieve. Quality over quantity.
I just want to Me GTN
The GOAT
everytime james says "year" I die a little inside
i wish her good luck!
I think Lucy, as a typical endurance athlete, couldn't resist adding another event to the calendar. That's my theory!
Tri-spy: Jam Frodeno during the Beijing Olympics
Odd that is 3 days later and there are no summaries of Ironman Boulder 70.3 on UA-cam and that this GTN show didn't show splits for the top 10.
None? I posted my Boulder 70.3 race report yesterday on youtube
I hope you can sleep at night 😂
Is it Jan?
Gustav will need his bro’s help if he is to ever be good at triathlon again!
Tri-Spy… is it the big dog James C himself?
The Chunnel?
Makes you wonder WHY a defending champ NEEDS to qualify for the next year? Triathlon seems a lot different than the 1985 Tanner's Hatch Tri where I saw one of the Big Coconut Tri Boys rummaging in a hedgerow for blackberries as he'd bonked on the run! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha. Loved Tanners Hatch!
Tri Spy- Jan frodeno
Tri-spy: Sam Laidlow
Try-Spy, Gomez
tri spy: Frodeno, Beijing '08
Erm, is that Jan Frodeno?
Get Ruth Astle on for some AG to Pro input & commentary 😬
Has anyone ever actually bought one of these insanely overpriced bikes as something other than a show piece?
I have seen plenty of interviews with actual world tour cyclists who say they might have one bike they actually own themselves, and it's NOT one of these super-aero-light-tubular-carbon (etc) set ups, nor is it even close to what they actually race.
I'm absolutely baffled by this. With all the talk of all these bicycle companies, start ups, events and everything else going down the drain since the bubble broke, the prices just keep going up?
There must be a lot of really rich cyclists in the world, because with just the base pricing of some of these brands like Willier, I'm amazed they can sell A bike versus enough to keep the company afloat.
Patrick Lange?
30k for a bike 🤯
So much tech into it, but the price is too high
It's a pricey bit of kit! But for the top level pros this might be the edge they need 🙌
lol i wouldn’t want to be up against taylor knibb either
Gustav iden
Gustav Eden 6-11-24
Nice France again? why ? Will it ever be beck in Kona?
It changes every year. Last year Nice was for men and Kona for women. This year it's reversed.
@@elka2palkaahhh, thanks you for clarification:)
Try spy, frodo
Jan frodeno
cant see willier selling many bikes at them prices! thats a complete and utter total joke!
I always said not trying to defend a world title is just weak.
If you've got a world title we're not sure you can be labeled weak 😉
@@gtn the decision not to defend it. sure I an label that 🙂 defending a world title is an honor, no? wouldnt you? but obviously we all know that lucy isnt weak in terms of being an athlete.
I’m sure people don’t really care what you have “always said”. Unless you are Dave Scott posting in secret.
