As discussed earlier in this thread, Tarzan can not take away Steve's crowning of the prize, but 8 days after Steves crowning he can be the new keeper.

And Steve is on track to beat a record that hasn't been broken in 76 years, while Tarzan stands to break a record that will be 8 days old.

Has this been discussed in here? If so, I think it wrong?
The record is for any continuous year, and not a calendar year. As @hms's post shows, Tommy beat the previous record at the end of October and IIRC this was heralded in the press as the moment the record was broken. He then carried on for the rest of the year to set the current mark of 75,065 miles, but the record has been Tommy's since the moment he passed the previous mark.
As with this record... surely it will be broken the moment that the first rider surpasses 75,065miles. If Tarzan hits that number before Steve does, then Steve will never hold the record, unless he manages to overtake Tarzan again.

Can someone clever do a calculation to figure out how far off Tarzan would be if he'd also had to do all the elevation gain Steve has done? Probably impossible to accurately gauge. Its just kinda disappointing that Tarzan will likely overtake Steve soon and (if form continues) beat him overall. But it must be so much easier rolling around the sunny flat lands of Flordia compared to miserable cold rolling hills of England. Not that I'm suggesting either is easy.
Also does anyone know why Tommy had a day off on 28/10? Injury?
