And here's a couple of pics from stayer racing by one of Britain's great stayer, Harry Grant.
Here Harry Grant is at his first successful attempt on the hour motor-paced record at the Parc des Princes, Paris, July 1932 and paced by Leon Vanderstufyt on a massive pacing machine with a roller 60cm behind the rear wheel, he broke the world records for five, 10 and 50km going on to set a new distance for the hour record of 52 miles 215 yards riding a Selbach taper tube pacing machine.
This is a great stayer - I bought a De Rosa stayer about 18 months ago, you can see pics here:
