Trainer Video - Kona 2012 with Crazy Subtitles

I found this hour-long jewel while trying to ride intervals on the trainer this morning. I say "trying" because I eventually had to turn off the bizarre subtitles because they were too distracting.
I wondered if it was just me, but the comments verified that the subtitling must have been created by Japanese teenagers shouting out Amazon Prime orders translated from English to Brazilian at a Dutch fish market. It's definitely a must-see.
If you find you can't stand the captioning anymore, just click the "cc" symbol at the bottom of the video.
With captions on or off, the 2012 racing of Kona is full of great moments to watch for, including:
- Andy Potts knocking a volunteer completely off her feet in T1.
- Is Leanda Cave wearing her goggles upside down?
- A female volunteer gushing over the opportunity to touch Chris McCormack while putting on his numbers.
- Derailleur-gate, where Macca collides into Marino Vanhoenacker coming out of T1, screwing up his front derailleur and eventually leading to his DNF.
- Great footage of the bikers overtaking eachother with huge efforts, only to implode later on.
