Bike actually looks decent, assuming there is a huge water tank in that down tube it overall looks quite integrated. Obviously the main question around beam bikes is the increased weight in order to get the stiffness as the double triangle design provides much more stability for the weight. My guess is that this bike is atleast 2-3kg heavier that the Trinity gustav will ride, with the forks, beam and disc brakes. However my guess is that the windtunnel would say its maybe 10w faster. maybe 20w at a push. On a fast course itd be worth it. However, Blu's position still makes him look like a brick wall. My prediction is gustav will ride the bike 5-10mins faster than Blu. Gustav is much more aero overall, lighter, better handling, better power. And after this he is the strongest runner in long course. Although he has been sick twice recently so maybe that will nerf him

Can wurf and seb kienle are the best bikers so they’ll push gustav too hard I think which will tire gustav on the run. If the top guys stay together on the bike it will be an equal match on the run I think which will mean it could be anyones race
@jamesd52412 жыл бұрын
@@jimjamthebananaman1 judging from both StG 70.3 worlds and Nice 2019 worlds i think Gustav is on the level or higher than Sebi and a lot of the big bikers. I dont think itd be any problem for him to keep up with wurf on a course like this. Mallorjca ironman last year already had a number of guys stay with wurf on the bike like Lson chavlier

@@jamesd5241 I remember watching him put 10minutes into the field on the bike in Copenhagen last year and would assume Wurf is at a much higher level coming off the Cobbled Classics season, than he was at Mallorjca. He has proven himself at world Tour level this year, he is levels above everyone else on the startline as a cyclist. Just depends where his swim is at as to where he features on the bike leg and whether anyone will try and go with him or trust that his run will be awful having priortised being a pro cyclist these last months. I can't wait to watch!
