Brilliant Talbot, the swimming pool footage showing so many top racers in one place, the comedy gold in Freshii and a sneak preview of Lionel’s attitude at the end, thanks 🙏
Lionel, Gustav and Kristian are the reason I watch these videos... Entertainment gold. I hope they finish 1-2-3 as I want to see more of them for a long time.
The new strategy was working so well... interesting that LS is going back to previous "all-out" strategy. Not sure can beat the Norwegians using old strategy. Everyone may feel that they are ahead when biking really hard and being ahead of Kristian, but it all ends up in flames when Kristian catches them during the run. Norwegians have measured and strategized everything and it is showing by their results so far that saving some energy for the run is the best possible method so far.
Great episode, Talbot! Meeting point pool or at Freshii (Freddy a bit shy, normally he isn't). And finally the announcement of Lionel, that he only going for the win from now on. All the best on the way. Kristian and Gustav have got the same plan. Should be a real big showdown on sunday! :-)
Fair statement about road riding in Edmonton. It's all about the trail riding here Gustav! Although once the roads are closed this PTO course is going to be top notch.
Canadian and U.S. infrastructure is built almost entirely around cars with little to no regard for walking, running, cycling, etc. So Gustav’s criticisms on Strava are all accurate and deserved. And for a continent primarily built around cars, the roads are garbage a lot of the time.
You have to remember your average Canadian road sees swings of 60-70C temperature differences every year with crazy fluctuations each day. Many cracks and holes form because of that. We used to say there is two seasons, winter and road works.
You had something good going on. Iterate the strategy Lionel; execute, analyse, tweak, repeat. I trust you figured out how to tweak your nutrition for that strategy to work out on the bike. Otherwise we're going to see you walk again.
Absolutely hilarious Gustav, welcome to Canada 🇨🇦 pal, make sure you carry some maple syrup along side with the Maureen Gels. 🤣 The Green Flash! That was so funny 🤣 All the best on race day. Go Lionel Go!
I *may* have missed the sarcasm. But if not then it seems that after Lionel got the best performances in years by racing conservatively on the bike so he’s going to take two steps back and blown-up on the run again?
Thank you as always for the great content. Your progress as a videographer is insane, Talbot. :) But damn. Why didn't you talk to Frederic Funk in the video? He's such geniunely nice guy with immense potential in the sport. However, I will forgive you if he gets at least a few seconds of proper screen time in the upcoming episodes. :)
That's the mindset Sanders. You got the hockey player smile going & you're in the home of George St.Pierre, Brett The Hitman Hart & Joe Kocur & Wendall Clark, so just get out there & B.R.A.W.L..!
How can you not root for Freshii. Yes, there are better salad places out there. Success looks fun and effortless when you are SweetGreen or CoreLife. Freshii has put in the hard work, and they deserve to win.
How many times has Lionel changed his philosophy on how to race? Not long ago he decided he wasn't racing a smart race, and kept blowing up. So he changed training, racing and coaches. Now he is back to racing hard all the time...for the "rest of my career". #itwillchangeagain
@@jeanmichel6327 Oh, I know for this race...but he said the rest of his career, which includes long course. Just found it funny that he keeps changing his philosophy.
Love the series. But I am confused to watch how pro athletes are struggling with their bike gear so close to the race - keyword "last minute changes before the race".
so he has the "I suck at swimming" mentality again AND considered boring what the rest of the world classified as his smartest race so far? I really hope he is just playing for the camera and not about to shot himself in the foot...again... big fan here! but sometimes is painful to watch how his own head gets in his way... go lionel!
I love linol but he cracks me up always contradictory to previous comments made he now only wants to win he recently said he dosent care about winning just wants to do the best he can . Go smash em fella
This all out strategy isn't new for Lionel. Hopefully he can remember the last time he threw out everything to do it "his way". I really do hope it's a joke and not him suffering dementia or similar from all this training.
Excellent as usual Talbot! Love seeing all of the other pros. You're doing a great job of painting the landscape leading into the race! Incredible work.
How I wish I can see more than 2 mins of Lionel Sanders in a video on Lionel Sanders channel and Talbot Cox make all these race videos about everyone else on his own channel instead.
It's an awesome thing he's doing for the sport, though - he's got one of the most popular tri channels on UA-cam and he's giving all sorts of people great exposure!
There's actually a video from earlier this season where they explain this approach and why they decided to include more athletes in the LS videos. Talbot is only one guy, can only make so many videos, and I think he is absolutely nailing it with this series.
I love how Gustav takes the piss out of Lionel. I just love those two. Should make a podcast or something
They should have had Lionel working at that Freshii and surprise Kristian and Gustav by taking their order.
Now that would be hilarious.
Lol
Yup, that would have been amazing
Brilliant Talbot, the swimming pool footage showing so many top racers in one place, the comedy gold in Freshii and a sneak preview of Lionel’s attitude at the end, thanks 🙏
Lionel is the face of triathlon and Talbot is the lens for triathlon !
These two are changing the perception of the sport !
Gustav cracks me up. "They have one of my biggest fans" **holds up a pic of Lionel** lol
PTO is SO good for this sport, it's incredible!
Gustav is slowly but surely beating Cam Wurf in ''best triathlon personality'' category
it's extremely dangerous to mess up with a guy that doesn't have front teeth!!
Yes. Loving the banter.
Lionel, Gustav and Kristian are the reason I watch these videos... Entertainment gold. I hope they finish 1-2-3 as I want to see more of them for a long time.
Video hasn’t been released and Gustav has made me laugh…
The smiling assassin
excellent nickname for him 🤣
Kristian & Gustav are hilarious, what a comedy duo 🤣🤣🤣
Really curious to see how Funk does in this race. Could be up there with the big names!!
Great content. These videos just keep getting better.
As a local Edmontonian, I got a kick out of Gustav's strava. He should have seen the roads BEFORE they repaved them lol!
Also watch out for the guy sitting on the table with Gustav and Blu at freshii.. Going to finish in Top 5 ;)
Freddy Funk is a serious contender
6:48 Would love to get some words in from Frederic Funk aswell :)
That’s what I wanted to hear Lionel let’s go
Noriegian are great athletes and also funny guys! Love that and LOVE CANADA!!!!! and race without a front tooth! Way to go Lionel!
The new strategy was working so well... interesting that LS is going back to previous "all-out" strategy. Not sure can beat the Norwegians using old strategy.

Love the attitude!!! No freakin limits!!!

All the best Lionel! Rooting for you!

Come on out to the Rockies ,Alberta & Saskatchewan & live for a couple of winters Brennan, no picnic...!
Go Lionel. Time to get the place you want the most. Let's see what comes of it. Can't wait.
And the pendulum swings again. Just gave smart for more than one season. Give it time to work
Lionel admitting he's going back to blowing up? Stay the course.
Win or blow up, what else are you racing for - Go for the Gold...!
Let's go Lionel! Come check out a dirt bike race soon
How can you not love Gustav 😄
This is going to be such an amazing race
“I heard disc brakes are faster!” Lmao
Home town race, Paula has got to be the favorite :)
I like that Gustav and Kristian don't take themselves too seriously
You had something good going on. Iterate the strategy Lionel; execute, analyse, tweak, repeat. I trust you figured out how to tweak your nutrition for that strategy to work out on the bike. Otherwise we're going to see you walk again.
finally some more Triathlon content. People dont post on youtuube anymore cause they post so much on strava. Thanks Lioniel
Epic. Come on Brownlee 🇬🇧
Absolutely hilarious Gustav, welcome to Canada 🇨🇦 pal, make sure you carry some maple syrup along side with the Maureen Gels. 🤣 The Green Flash! That was so funny 🤣 All the best on race day. Go Lionel Go!
I think No Limits is a good way to put it!
I *may* have missed the sarcasm.
But if not then it seems that after Lionel got the best performances in years by racing conservatively on the bike so he’s going to take two steps back and blown-up on the run again?
this has been one of the funniest episodes. mega trolling from all sides. Gustav and Kristian all like the guys from Step Brothers.
So yes, you are excited Lionel
No love for Freddy Funk :(. Gonna be a great race. I am excited :) Thanks for taking us along
Does anybody knows which extensions that are? 🤔
This race has more fire power then the World Champs!!
The "green flash" [Lionel]. I hope it sticks. The Norwegians are so good for our sport!
Good to see Freddy (Funk). Watch out for him on Sunday.
Gustav and kristian are hilarious lol
The only thing funnier looking than Lionel's tooth is Kristian's bike
Can't wait to see this race
here for the gustav content
How did you get the lanes & back door - Paula swam for the main club in this pool and her mom has connections...
Thank you as always for the great content. Your progress as a videographer is insane, Talbot. :)
But damn. Why didn't you talk to Frederic Funk in the video? He's such geniunely nice guy with immense potential in the sport. However, I will forgive you if he gets at least a few seconds of proper screen time in the upcoming episodes. :)
Well I am excited!!
🤣 Gustav is the funniest person in triathlon and no one will convince me otherwise.
No questions to Frederic Funk when he is eating with Gustav and Kristian? I'm a bit disappointed!
Been seeing athletes with the style of goggles Skye Moench has on @1:46 , anyone know what those are called
Form goggles
That's the mindset Sanders. You got the hockey player smile going & you're in the home of George St.Pierre, Brett The Hitman Hart & Joe Kocur & Wendall Clark, so just get out there & B.R.A.W.L..!
Is this frederic funk with gustav and kristian at freshii? awesome stuff 😀
Hahahaha! Super funny in Freshii 🤣
I actually think it is the new- He is back on rim breaks... LOL😂
Let’s Fu#$%ing GO, Lionel!
I saw the race will be live on eurosport. Is it free or is there a subscription required?
Christian and Gustav at Freshii, what about Frederic Funk with them?. Next time you can ask him a question as well.
Yes Mr Browlee!!!!
"A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor." Franklin D. Roosevelt
How can you not root for Freshii. Yes, there are better salad places out there. Success looks fun and effortless when you are SweetGreen or CoreLife. Freshii has put in the hard work, and they deserve to win.
Hahaha I love the oilers sweater
God. Sam long is missing and it hurts. This is his element. I miss him
How many times has Lionel changed his philosophy on how to race? Not long ago he decided he wasn't racing a smart race, and kept blowing up. So he changed training, racing and coaches. Now he is back to racing hard all the time...for the "rest of my career". #itwillchangeagain
He is correct though…it’s the only way to win (blow up the race during the bike)
Is a "70.3 kind of distance" race, it's all out from the gun for this guys, Ironman distance is another animal
@@jeanmichel6327 Oh, I know for this race...but he said the rest of his career, which includes long course. Just found it funny that he keeps changing his philosophy.
Man I like the UCI legal Canyon TT as well, but they don't sell it anymore. Only the fat TRI Version 😢
lionel's conclusions change quite a bit. he's gone full circle again
Love the series. But I am confused to watch how pro athletes are struggling with their bike gear so close to the race - keyword "last minute changes before the race".
Wow, I dont even know who to root for anymore 😂
Oh man, is Sebi that guy who's always talking about his kids now?
so he has the "I suck at swimming" mentality again AND considered boring what the rest of the world classified as his smartest race so far? I really hope he is just playing for the camera and not about to shot himself in the foot...again... big fan here! but sometimes is painful to watch how his own head gets in his way... go lionel!
I agree
i wanna go swim there and hang out with all the pros toooo
Completely ignored Freddy Funk... you'll be in for a surprise ;)
I love linol but he cracks me up always contradictory to previous comments made he now only wants to win he recently said he dosent care about winning just wants to do the best he can . Go smash em fella
This all out strategy isn't new for Lionel. Hopefully he can remember the last time he threw out everything to do it "his way". I really do hope it's a joke and not him suffering dementia or similar from all this training.
Kristian in an oilers sweater!,,
So refreshing not having to see the drama queen Sam Long in any of these videos. Let’s go Lionel, time to smash!
Something about not getting that tooth fixed yet, I think blood and guts will win this one and Lionel will have his day.
Haha…oh man, these guys are funny
Feels like watching the Avengers to be honest
Gustav!!!!
i fuckin love kristian & gustav haha those guys seem like a good hang
Can’t skip fredi funk like this 😤
Hi there. I did not skip I usually people a title over everyone who talks. I plan to meet with Freddie later this week. Don’t worry. :)
Lionel seems pissed off lately… what’s going on? 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
How is kienle 37th that seems bad for such a good athlete?
"The Green Flash"
one step forward and now two back Lionel? why so agressive?
Gustav should watch out being sarcastic about canada in edmonton. He may not know that where he is is ground zero for unprovoked violence
Always thought Canadian haters was a myth lol
4 hours is a lot??? has she never done a road trip?
Crush on Ellie
Disc brakes are faster 😂
Sebastian needs to work on his "becourse/because". 🙃
