I'm the bloke who rode the Raleigh Chopper Hour.
I asked British Cycling if I could apply for a biological passport and if they would ask the UCI to ratify the Chopper Hour record. They said they were "advised that you will not be able to obtain a UCI biological passport, the view from BC is that this is not a competitive event. Also a chopper bike would not be allowed in a track endurance event and therefore would not be within the rules to make an official attempt on an hour record."
If anyone is interested, here's a one minute video about Chopper vs The Hour:

And here's the blog about it:

Many thanks!

P.S. There's still time to donate:

P.P.S. I think it's clear from the attached picture that, based on him eating the same number of jam sandwiches as I did before the ride, Sir Wiggo will go a great deal further!

So all the records should be nullified and the bloke who rode the Raleigh Chopper should be on the list.
