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.
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.

thats a good point actually. It is a race to 75k

Gah.

This was also my reading of things.

Aha! Can someone make the confirmation whether it's a most mileage in a year or further than the previous record within a year?
