Is it likely to all come back together in the bike leg? Jonny seems to be doing his bit to ensure the pace is kept high at the front.

I didn't think Triathletes were allowed to draft

They are in Olympic distance (it's actually down to the organising body)

It would be hard not to on this course it is like a Crit
Amateurs are not (usually) allowed to draft in UK races. Elite short-distance triathlon (Sprint or Standard) is (usually) draft-legal.
However.
There have recently been some draft-legal amateur races in the UK on closed roads with short circuits. I don't know how they went.
We have recently gained a club member from Italy in our triathlon club. He tells us that all short-distance triathlons are draft legal in Italy. My O/H once raced a draft-legal triathlon on Mallorca.
I also know of at least one non-drafting elite Standard race in the USA.

The Brownlees look to be the only cyclists not wearing shades?
Don't their eyes water?
What if they get a bug or some dirt in their eyes?
I cannot ride without some sort of eye protection, seems risky to me.

The Brownlees and they're already off with France. Don't think Luis will keep up. This could be a perfect race...
