Which means Boardman's 1993 record remains the absolute record, no?
Boardman '93 is non-compliant with current UCI regulations because he wore a head fairing, not a certified protective helmet. It was UCI legal at the time, as were the later superman records, but the UCI reset was to the best performance complying with all regulations in force at the time of the reset, not at the time of the performance. Henceforth, records will need to be compliant with the regulations in force at the time of the performance, so if the record stagnates, UCI can change the rules to make the target a bit softer, e.g. change the frame regulations to allow non-diamond frames and chord:thickness ratios greater than the current limit of 3.0
