Patrick Vernay, Olivier Marceau, Paul Ambrose and Scott Neyedli were first of the bikes at Ironman Australia in a time of 4:42. Adrian Cominotto, who was first out of the water, was half a minute behind the leading group. Vernay is looking like being the triathlete to beat again this year after putting just over 7 minutes on Tim Berkel, Paul Barclay, Matt White, Joshua Rix, Adam Holborow and Jemani Francis.
Paul Barclay put in a ride of the day with 4:30:39. Dark horse of the
event, Trent Chapman was right on the leaders tails off the bike. He will have to have an unbelievable run to keep up with them.
