MemberColonFace, I don't have a dog in the fight.. but the other guy is listing his metric.. electrolyte consumption, depletion, divided by time.
You aren't listing a metric. You're saying "should be able to".
That doesn't mean anything.
How about 60+2 and flaming hoops
You’re telling me a prime Hannah or Mark Barnett wouldn’t have been able to finish a 45 minute moto because of heat? What the fornicate? Deity damn. The rider has to manage the heat just like an obstacle or rhythm section on the track. Click down a gear. Pull off. And then let the rider that trains on the equator wearing a hypoxia mask in long underwear wave as they go by. Do you all need some milk and cookies or something?
An an extremity bullet wound. You're telling me not ONE of them can survive a gunshot?! I don't believe it. Let the real men come out and play!

You’re right, Uncle Rico. We all concede.
Moving on….
This thread really became quite the pissing contest!!!!
Are they allowed to wear camel backs for hydration or something during motos?
It's the classic Vital way. 😒
Nah I'm too dehydrated to piss with these temps. Need to get in better shape.
He’s also trolling lol
Mike Alessi used to sometimes if I remember right
I think I remember Alessi wearing one at some point.
I'm not sure anyone would want to wear the extra gear and find the time during a moto to grab it in the heat of a battle.
Bring back Erin!!!!
Remember the post-moto water misters at WW Ranch when the USGP went there?
Surprised there are no downvotes............yet.
No where is as hot or as cold to wherever someone on the internet is and they will let it be known!
What happened to Bret Metcalfe when it was 100+. How about Eli Tomac, who's known as having elite level fitness? He also got it bad at freestone in 2010.
I do think fitness comes into play with heat, but extreme heat becomes something beyond that.

You another one of those "I'd like more blood and guts please while I sit on my azz drinking a mix of natural light and my own piss thanks!!" guys ain't ya??? .... 🤣🤣
These guys have it rough enough... they all give more than enough...
Yes and I'm surprised they aren't utilized more at races like Red Bud. Even just 8-10 oz throughout the first moto would help with recovery and rehydration for the second moto. This time of year in Texas (not sure if you heard, but it is hot here) I take 10oz with me on my runs and it really helps both during and after.
Those Florida boys will be prepared for it. Definitely getting hot in Jersey.
If they can grab a tear off they could get the tube…I know they don’t even like wearing a chest pro but don’t think you would notice it much
