The Hour Record

He's already done a full hour in training, and I'm assuming it was ~53.8km or something but (obviously) am finding it difficult to find out.

Do you think the 55km point is possible?

What's the air pressure looking like for Sunday? Cost that'll have a huge impact on distance.

Thus speaks The Hutch:

Michael Hutchinson @Doctor_Hutch
1030mb air pressure in London next Sunday. That's not good news for an Hour record attempt. #UCIHourRecord

Michael Hutchinson @Doctor_Hutch
Combination of slow London track and the forecast air pressure means Wiggins prob has over 1km of handicap to deal with. #UCIHourRecord

Maybe not money but he'd hardly refuse it would he? Also, good exposure for his kit and new team if there's more than one attempt.

Nor my chances of a 25 PB on Sunday either.

Air Pressure is for wimps. I kick air's arse.

just saw this timely advert on ebay:

Someone's been clever hanging onto that :)

Does it barspin?

needs 650bs, rack, etc..

Rattlecan black, a few stickers, cut down risers, Rolls saddle, and a 650 spok on the front, and that would be rideable.

Yet none of the explainations for the insane speed mention a daily diet of gorilla testoserone, and an infusion of 6 liters of race horse blood.

This might be of interest to some of you, be quick though.

I'm doing the 12.10 slow group and wearing LFGSS team colours

That looks fun, have signed up for the 1:30 group.

5 Live, Bespoke radio show has an Hour Record special on now.

Wiggo has had a trim #aeros

He looks like the Rocketeer

And people say there's no climbing on the track... hmmpf!

58t ring?

Dunno, but this 3d printed ti bars thing - I thought any kit used in UCI events (inc. hour record) had to be available for consumers. Surely custom-printed bars is not within that rule?

It might just be the armrests but still.

Probably goes out of the window for hour events, as I doubt I'll be able to buy a track Bolide any time soon (not that I could ever afford to).

Plus they can just do the same as they did with old UKSI stuff, huge lead times and ridiculous quotes.

Thanks very much. Signed up!
