On a souvent l’impression que Kona peut se gagner à vélo. Dans la réalité, ils sont très peu à être rentré au parc en première position. On s’est basé sur les résultats entre 2013 et 2005 pour notre étude.
Qui a réussi?
Chrissie Wellington en 2009 et 2008 avec une avance de 10 minutes et 2007 avec une avance d’une minute. La référence en Ubberbiker Norman Stadler avait aussi réussi cet exploit en distançant de 6 minutes Chris Lieto (2006).
Michellie Jones en 2006 et Faris Al-Sultan (2005) sont les deux derniers à avoir réussi cet exploit.
Chez les hommes, cela signifie que les 7 dernières éditions ont été remportées par des athlètes qui ne menaient pas la course en sortie de T2.
Par cela, il faut surtout voir que les athlètes sont de plus en plus complets et que le niveau chez les pros (hommes et femmes) a nettement progressé ces dernières années et qui l’est devenu presque impossible de faire la différence en vélo.
On parle plutôt d’une course à élimination.
À l’exception d’athlètes comme Miranda Cafrae, Leanda Cave et Craig Alexander qui étaient en mesure de revenir sur des déficits de plus de 5 minutes dans le passé. Les 4 dernières éditions ont vu les gagnants poser leur vélo dans le groupe tête qui avait un déficit virtuel, puisque le meneur n’a pas terminé dans le top 10.
Est-ce que cela prouve aussi que la dynamique a bien changé à cause de l’instauration du KPR? Probablement.
Voici notre compilation.
