The Hour Record

Fuck, he's above Boardman pace

He might break 57, can’t see it being much beyond that as he’s beginning to look like it’s taking some effort.

57.098. You heard it here first.

Getting a bit all over the place now. Hope he can hold this together.

56,78

Speed still going up, adding about one metre kph per lap

He's going well eh

56,792 Boom ! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Chapeau, wow.

Oooft

4:08 pursuit pace for an hour.

Mad lad

Madness.. What a ride

It's bollocks though, Alex Dowsett tweeted it, but it's less than that if my maths is correct. 15.4 second laps would give you a 4:10 4 k, and he wasn't doing that for the entire duration.

4:08 pursuit pace for an hour.

(4km÷56.792km/h)×3,600s/h=253.56s (4m13.56s) per 4km

Italian rider Vittoria Bussi has reclaimed the women’s hour record with, I think, the first 50 km/h average speed, riding 50.267 kms in Mexico over night.

That's fantastic, a victory for science/maths too. I have her old front TT wheel, maybe this is the time to put it in the Classifieds.

Monster ride.

tl;dr

;-)

You're missing out on valuable insights, it could be the difference between you breaking the hour record or not.

Oh I'm going to read it. I'm also definitely not breaking any records unless it's measured in pints/hour or kebabs/hour

How about the combined (pints + kebabs) / hour?

I'm down for that. Need some scientists to do some of that sexy report writing afterwards though...

Give Mehdi a shout!
