hippy-
Don't get me wrong, I think he's a quality rider, but with the hour record I think experience and the adaptations gained from ten years or so of pro racing give you an edge. Boardman was at his absolute peak when he set that record, a month or so after riding the Tour.
Wiggins should be able to beat Bobridge's likely record but I'd think he might be able to regain it, should he return to riding at World Tour leave after Rio.

I think Bobridge will set a good distance but I can't see him beating Boardman's ultimate record. He is the first real trackie to give it a go in this current round of attempts, so should easily beat Brandle's record.
However, he's never shown a top level time trialling pedigree on the road, so I'd think Wiggins would be able to beat the distance he sets.
