  • Obviously anyone holding any of these records is a superhuman. But could someone explain to me why there should be different records for 30-34 and 35-39? It's not even clear to me which you would expect to be quicker! We're not talking developing juniors or veterans.

  • It just follows the UCI masters age grouping which is done in 5 yr bands all the way up. 30-34 is in fact no longer a category which you can race at World Masters (but British National Masters have it), but the records are still retained.

  • Ok thanks for that. I was thinking what is the competitive need to separate those two bands? Some people will be quicker at 33 than36 but others the opposite!
