Ironman Switzerland 2009 drafting photos

Ironman Switerzland 2009 drafting photos by Rainer Lilischkis.

This is what Rainer emailed me as well:

“Speaking of races where drafting happens although it should not: Ironman Switzerland this year. I was standing back to back with one of the head organizers of the race watching huge groups chasing the first bikers in the second lap as they were heading towards the “heartbreak hill”. No race-marshal to be seen in the first half hour behind the leaders. And the guy next to me commented my inquiry, quote “we can not have a motorbike following every single group.” Admid that, but it would have helped to have two or three referees cruising amongst the first 100 bikers. Not one instead. And we are talking about Kona-qualifiers!”
