That's nowhere near the true hour record for the 80-84 age group, he's just an opportunist exploiting the fact that UCI are a bunch of twats who haven't heard of the VTTA. The true record is H.H.Hill 23.352 miles at age 80 indoors, or J.M.Lee 20.433 miles outdoors at age 84 if you want a precise age rather than just a 5 year band.
As a result, UCI age group records are about as meaningful as world records for sitting in a bath of baked beans, limited to Crosse & Blackwell to exclude the vastly superior athletes who used Heinz.
