The Hour Record

21:14:53s pm, decide to stop get my phone and call a mate and see if he knows

21:15 pm, answer machine so decide to go on internet

21:20 pm, oh yeah I found it, I need to prove it to the internet

21:21 pm, now i have also time to open a thread about it

21:22 pm, I feel myself an idiot

21;22,50s pm, but then it's ok because i'm not the only one

21:23 pm, getting close to the end and i'm still not totally bored

21:24 pm, fuck this shit, who invited it anyway?

21:25 pm, thinking and thinking… must be a sexy beast and his team..

21:26 pm, end of the show. Would do it again.

I don't get it.

Only if you feel the need. I'd already be a lap up on the record and wouldn't want to show off.

is this real? or is that english humour ?

is that english humour ?

Marco is neither English nor humourous.

But he's real and here.

More than 55km is possible from Bobridge and Brad should be aiming to beat Chris Boardman's 56km mark.

Any reason to spend 38 quid to go to Stratford and watch the 20th best time trial list in the world having a go at the Hour record?

You get to watch a Revolution series too?

3 hours of racing featuring some of the best track riders in the world, plus an hour record attempt for £38.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Boardman reckons 53-54k for Brad.

I totally agree, it is worthy. But then if I'm wrong it is still ok, at least you let them the illusion of to be.

I mean for the big picture that could be very important, not to underestimate the final outcome of a possible discouragement on self-esteem.

That's a 24w margin of error :D but yes of course Wiggins isn't going to be able to do 56km at sea level. Bobridge's IP world record was done in crazy high heat which you can't scale up for a 1hr effort as you'd just die off after 25-30min.

Bobridge was still the fastest IP rider in a UCI legal/non-superman position, behind Boardman before he got Boardman's record so it wasn't just a fluke.
