Show Notes
Lots going on in this week's episode. The guys go all over the place. They start with Tony's new bike build and if he will debut it in Marbella. The boys also discuss if Kona is too difficult of a course to display the best racers each year. They then segway from that to where the age-graded results are going now that we have a handful of races to gather data from. Is it moving in the right direction? What is the actual fix to equality?

They follow that up by discussing Salomon becoming a title sponsor with Ironman and what that means for the future. They go over all of the incredible performances at 70.3 Worlds and what are the implications as we near Kona.

They close out by talking about a few unfortunate mishaps in the sports world recently.
This week the guys do some brief catch up, but get right into some logistics when it comes to televising a race. How close is too close and do we need all these cameras?
