2013 Kona Top 15 Men Bike
Out final gallery from the 2013 GoPro Ironman World Championships features the top 15 overall male finishers on the bike, shows their position, lists their equipment, gives height and weight and is a great source for discussion and bike porn. We do these features annually and here is our Top 15 men on the bike version from 2012, plus we already did the 2013 running edition last week. The Top 16 women got the limelight yesterday.
Earlier this year we also had a few power data comparisons here and here but now it is time to look at the 2013 Top 15 men on their bikes starting with World Champion Frederik Van Lierde.
