The Hour Record

@ £49 don't think I'll be hurrying back from the Dragon Ride in Cardiff.

Tickets?

Yeah, I'll be watching on TV

At least when Storey attempted it, it was just an hour out of a Revolution - so you got actually watch some racing for your money too.
£49 just to watch Wiggins attempt the hour is ridiculous. I'd be amazed if they can fill half the seats.

Read the blurb. There is other racing on.

For £49 I want to go get pissed up with him afterwards.

I know that for at least 1hr, his beer cellar is going to be unguarded...

I bought some tickets on the lower tier. I think it will definitely sell out.

Prolly in minutes.

What lower tier? Are there any cheaper tickets yet?

Text has been changed to "From £49" so I'd guess they are the cheap tickets?

You really don't want upper-tier at LVV. It's grim up there.

About a bazillion degrees.

Nah, I wander around and dodge security like ninja.

Sold out in 15 minutes!

Don't worry I bought three tickets assuming I have 'friends'. Once the illusion wears off in a couple of weeks there will be two tickets up for grabs.

Why did he choose LVV? I would have thought the big names would choose a faster velodrome?

It is fast. It's just not at altitude, which is good because only cheats do that.

Would Brad have a moral issue with altitude?

No idea. I presume he wants to do it in London because it's where he's from (the Ghent track is too short :P)

there's 2 tracks in Ghent, Kuipke which is ridiculously short (and steep)

and the 250m track of the Eddy Merckx velodrome

the 250m track of the Eddy Merckx velodrome

That doesn't look like it has £200K worth of seats to sell.

goes to show how popular track racing is in the low countries...

looks like Wiggins isn't using a UKSI bike...

Looks like a trackified version of a Bolide

It's early days, that might just be for training and dialling in his track position before getting carbon laid up for the custom UKSI bar-stem.

So, something they can actually sell. #cheatinbrits

Have we had this yet?

Wiggins doing 16 mins at 55 km hour pace in training.
