Blah blah blah https://www.wattieink.com/blogs/blog/andy-potts-vs-father-time#utm_source=Wattie Ink. News&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=AndyPotts

I didn't read the article but check out what bike he's riding. That's not a cannondale i'm familiar with. Did they split up? Did I miss it? What bike is that?

Martin

I think he's riding Ceepo now. Cannondale appears to have dropped their triathlon sponsorships. At least that's what was suggested on ST.

Matt

Yup, Cannondale stopped sponsoring all their triathletes:
Potts is with Ceepo.
Andreas Dreitz went to Wilier
Michelle Vesterby and Heather Jackson to Argon 18

You should read the article. Best triathlon article you'll read all week, I promise.

I like Potts in spite of his embarrassing decisions.

I can’t say the same for Wattie Ink.

bbculp

What embarrassing decisions? Dude has made more money in this sport than just about anyone else.

EmilyCocks

@dhr is probably talking about the Gatorskins incident....

That is one low bar you just set...

bbculp

Fuck you too Martin.

A feature about what label Lycra a man is going to sweat in?

Me-yow!!! Count me in.

Do you think he points it due north, side or straight crunching it?

bbculp

The story is about Andy's life. Doesn't mention Wattie Ink or gear at any point.

KHilgendorf

Except the bottom where they list a $400 kit.

Great article @bbculp . You're a treasure no matter what some jerk says about you on Twitter.

Seriously, read the article.

Martin

It is a very good article, my dig at @bbculp aside. Imagine being really good at something but having someone who is literally the best in the world at something as your roommate. That would be so awesome and yet suck so much at the same time.

Potts has been one of my favourites for a few years, mainly because he seems so normal and just goes out and races without being a total gear weenie.

dhr

I mean, it’s an article about a triathlete. How good can it really be?

To answer that: ok. It can never be better than ok.

bbculp

I mean, this is a forum about triathlon. How good can it really be?

To answer that: Slowtwitch. It can never be better than Slowtwitch.

PevashishDaul

Slowman, where is the like button?

dhr

I mean, you’re not wrong, @bbculp

Does this have anything to do with marriage?
So who wins arguments at home between Emma Snowsill and Jan Frodeno?

bbculp

Emma definitely runs shit in that household.

PevashishDaul

You said "shit". Rebel.
