So confused
Don't worry, this is the correct feeling you should be having considering none of it makes sense
Hovis-
yeah. trying to figure it out;
So before 2014 and after 1997 there were two sets, one with any bike (basically) called best human effort, and then there was the athletes hour one which people had to do on the original Merckx bike essentially.
After 2014 they put them all together to make the UCI unified hour record but got rid of basically all the good, previous best human effort records and since then dowwett broke the record with 52km. To compete in this the bike had to be a legal pursuit bike of the time. And now Braders has broken this record.Sorry if this is repetitive and/or already covered.

I thought that Boardman's and Rominger's didn't count or were in different category?
