I dunno. i always found Kerr to be a bit of a ball ache on his pod.
Now that he is world champ, his achievements have caught up with his line of chatter.
Jacob is arrogent no doubt but seems popular with his peers and has the achievements that allows it.
In Budapest it was Jacob vs the field. he was unbeatable. But Kerr beat him. that's a rivalry. the 12-2 dosn't matter one bit. Ducking the DL final doesn't matter one bit.
If Kerr does it in Paris all the stuff about Jacob not being able to win non paced races proves to be true and Kerr is a mastermind getting into Jacobs head.
If Jacob does it all the begrudgers can f**k off because he was sick in Budapest.
all that totally dismisses the prospects of Whiteman, Naguse, Hoare and the rest, which is actually a more likely prospect in my mind given that Jacob is injured and Kerr is not dominant enough to double (I think). Either way hook it too my veins.
This 1500m year should have every netflix camera trained on it till the finish line at Paris
