    Thought Johnny would be the one to go if there was going to be a break like that.

    Great transition from Noble.

    I was thinking it wasn't the greatest, relative to the other guys, considering his position entering transition ?

    1 Alastair Brownlee
    2 Jonny Brownlee

    Jonny still to take his 15 second penalty.

    They're running at some speed at this stage of the race. Obviously trying to get his 15 seconds on the road.

    Some pace! Hope that they haven't over cooked it.

    Not sure about Gomez, he tried to stay with them last time out and paid for it.

    Bike mount.

    edit: Can he take the penalty at the end? Just have it added to his time?

    Jonny being dropped. He looked tired when Alastair looked fresh a couple of minutes ago. Hope he can still get bronze.

    No. Has to stand in the penalty box just before transition.

    Unfair advantage having option to serve 15 sec penalty at end. If its stop / go its more of a 40 / 50 sec with building up to speed again.

    Anyway geeat to see Gavin racing so well.

    Great racing. Gomez well deserved silver regardless of Jonny's penalty.

    Be interesting to see the run split. It looked fast.

    29:07 for Alistair Brownlee on the run apparently.

    What is it with tris and the runs being shorter than advertised?!

    penalty made no difference in the end. Jonny was being dropped by Alistair and Gomez on lap 3 anyway and would probably have come 3rd, penalty or not
