2018 ITU WTS

I am so excited to see 2018 WTS series tomorrow afternoon. (US local time.) Start lists for Abu Dhabi sprint are here. https://wts.triathlon.org/start_lists/2018_itu_world_triathlon_abu_dhabi
Who are your picks?
With Commonwealth Games so soon, I expect we'll see athletes near top form which should make for a great sprint race on a technical bike course.
On the Men's side, I pick J. Brownlee, "Young Jacob Birtwhistle", and Murray. I'd love to see Aaron Royle take it though since I am still bitter he was left off the AUS team. For a non-commonwealth athlete, I'll go with Blummenfelt. Those Norwegians were on fire at the Olympics so there must be something in the water.
On the women's side, I'll go with Duffy, Hewitt, and Holland. Although the people I'd love to see podium are Zaferes and Cook.
Also, does anyone know who is coaching Duffy now? I saw Henderson's tweet today and didn't know he was no longer her coach. Is her husband coaching her now?

See how you do versus some fellow triroosters and slowtwitchers.

Sure riding above your pay grade is a sign, but that could be caused by going to the doctor in the offseason to "discover" that the asthma has inadvertently caused a new disease called "micro T". If something's going on, I want it to be mechanical doping. I'm so sick and tired of all the boring chemical doping. We need more hi-tech mechanical doping to keep cycling and the cycling leg exciting!

Henri said that he never needed a tue nor did he ever test positive. Isn't this enough proof?
Fleck went low 9 hours at im Canada and he didn't dope. Can't we just all agree to disagree?
Well, off to teach the Canadian youth about Simon Lessing's bike split at Nice, toodles!
Thanks,

In all seriousness, I am just fascinated by the idea of motors. How is the tech so advanced that athletes get away with it? Or, is it just officials looking away? I love seeing all the videos from the big races that get posted supposedly showing the use of motors. The ones out of Cross Worlds in February were really impressive.
