Javier Gómez Noya

Yes.

But I'm just telling, it's like, okay, if Javier Gomez and Alistair Brownlee had the exact same coach and the coach was saying it, like he's each training them to win.

And they're not, they have to do it in their own way.

And it's not, you're not doing, you didn't go and say, Oh, Alistair today, Javier is only doing one K repeats.

Actually, I'm in second place behind an athlete.

I was racing Javier Gomez, sat on his shoulder thinking, look, I just need to get to the next hundred meters and then I'm on the finishing straight and I'll sprint to try and win the race.

And then my whole memory goes back black and I I remember absolutely nothing until I woke up in a hostel bed.

Yeah, that's not the best of experience.

Yeah.

I mean, you even look at, like, overall world titles over the course of a career, you got Javier Gomez with seven.

Like, he had seven.

He had five in the short course...

Yeah

I think that's a...

The, the only one that challenges that is Javier Gomez, and that's because, you know, he, he's got a silver, and he has five world titles to his name spanning from 2008 to 2015.

Yeah.

Um, obviously had some setbacks and missed out, uh, on Olympic, you know, glory, um, during his heyday.

Um, probably very similar to Javier Gomez, you know, was, was meant to probably win the Olympics in 2008 when Jan won it, but got an injury leading in.

Obviously Vince missed out with COVID there, and the, the, the swapping over of that, uh, Tokyo game.

So mate, uh, super impressive from Vince just to...

I don't wanna rant too much.

No, but I think I, I've always said that.

I used to get pissed off when I'd see Javier Gomez and his team in there, and I love Javier, but I'm like, "Why does someone get to help to set up their bike?" And all that sort of stuff.

[laughs] Well, that's my argument.
