I agree. I was thinking more in terms of wide publicity and respect. It’s quite a inside thing, beyond the small circle of time trialists isn’t not a talked about this.
I just got the impression from reading some old accounts, it was a widely known and immensely respected competition, across the cycling community.

Agreed - although i'm sure coverage in Cycling was the huge majority of that. Problem is - in print - Cycling Weekly has no chance against the internet. What I'd love them to do is more in depth articles, interviews with riders like Adam, Richard and Pete running to a few pages with a nod to history. If more people get to know these athletes then it will inspire others to want to try.

When you say the bbar isn't what it used to be, consider the performances of the top 6 in particular last year. They were incredible. Some of the best testers in the country trying their very best to win the competition.
Duggleby, Bideau, Harrison, Turnbull, Donaldson, Grieves.
Doesn't really match your narrative of it not being what it was.
