At least there is space for the aerobelly .....

No disc brakes? Sooooooooooo last year, dahling.

It's alright in 112 miles there's about 10 corners and 2 180 turns. Stopping is not a priority.

How can you be 'placed' in a sportive? They are not races.

It wasn't the Wiltshire Wobbler or the Surrey Snooze.

Triathlons are races. Your point is?

A rather unsubtle one and for that I apologise.

I note that the bike seemed to achieve 13th fastest, actually, on the cycle phase.

"On a more serious note though, they're not races, because using the word "race" for cycling on the road triggers all sorts of legal, health and safety, and insurance issues, which would involve getting the police and local authorities involved and making organising such events prohibitively difficult.

So "prohibitively difficult" that clubs of volunteers manage it every week of the year!

Domestic races don't make (much) money for the organiser/organising organisation (eg club). Sportives do; big time.

Indeed. It's not that it's prohibitively difficult - it's that fakey raceys are more profitable, partly thanks to cutting corners with rider safety IMO.

The disc alignment looks weird, like it's off centre from the cassette...

Or is this a poorly made photo mockup?
