Asked by Ironman afterwards if he’s working on anything specific in preparation for Kona, Ramsay said: “I’d say efficient riding and climbing to help with smooth power output.”

He added that at this year’s Kona, he wants to “improve on the bike and improve on the run without any hamstring issues”.
