Theannual count gives the triathlon industry a scope of what the sport’s best athletes are buying and anidea of who will be the major players for the next few years.
After over five hours of counting, Cervelo once again dominated the count, but others are closing thegap.

Brian Stover · Owner at Accelerate 3 CoachingWhat if someone has a Profile base bar and vision extensions? Are you counting the extensions orthe base bars or do they both get a nod in the count?Reply · Like · Follow Post · 13 October 2013 at 12:38
Steve CarterMore than a Kona Bike Count, It would be more interesting, and useful, to have the KonaFlat Tire Count. I read that Ian Mickleson got a flat out of Hawi yesterday. I would like toknow what brand of tire flatted on him. The aggregate sum of most flats would be thebrand of tire to avoid. It would not be a difficult undertaking next year.Reply · Like · 13 October 2013 at 13:41
Ben Waite · · ButlerMark from Profile and I did the aerobar count. When counting, we gave precedence totouch points. So Profile attachment hardware/pads and a Vision basebar would becounted as Profile. If the hardware/pads were not recognizable, the extension brand wascounted. If that was not obvious, the basebar was counted. 99% of all the data is probablyof the attachment hardware/pads. This is the same way we have done the count for the last several years.Reply · Like · Edited · 16 October 2013 at 07:32

Thomas Craven · Chief Sports Director at Hincapie Sportswear Development Team"I tried to be smart, and it worked out," said the second Belgian to win this event (hiscoach Luc Van Lierde—no relation—took the title twice). "After last year I believed I coulddo it," he said at the finish line. "I worked hard this year—I've never worked this hard. I'venever had such a feeling. It's the best I could have hoped for."
