The Hour Record

@andyp I have. Have faith!

54.83

54.321, as a tribute to his tester origins.

54.321, as a tribute to his favourite 80s lunchbox bar.

I think he'll go (un)comfortably over 55km. I want to see him unable to walk for a week afterwards. Everybody has looked far too fresh afterwards so far.

I just watched the Boardman Final Hour documentary on YouTube to get me in the mood. Nearly cried when he hugged that fat old cyclist at the end. Might watch The Flying Scotsman now.

Wiggins has done 54.9km in a practice effort, according to Inrng on Twitter, citing L'Equipe.

What are the odds that he fails to beat that figure today? Pressure is at 1032 mb, which is very high, and likely to see him lose at least 500 metres compared to, say, 990 mb.

54.38

Last minute ticket going spare as mate can't go. PM me for deets. Only want what I paid for it.

Oh and my prediction... 55.3

Raced this morning, air feels like treacle. Or at least that's my excuse.

Cool, I've never used air pressure as an excuse for being shit before. I'll take that one for today then.

@ hippy
54.666 ! the distance of the beast ?

might go and press my nose against the glass later

Bit much

Bit much

Why? People put on a parade for the winner of the FA Cup, and there's guaranteed to be one of those every single year.

has he shaved his beard for the occasion?
Kinda stupid if not actually.

Win Tunnel says a beard is essentially not detectable at their level of precision.

Why does it have to be at the same time as f1? I bet it's Jaguar's fault

Nice to see Johan Bruyneel in the track centre.

Not.
