Thought you meant your hour attempt...

I can't ride that long.

Fresh from a Silver at Rio too.

There's also an M40/44 attempt on Sunday morningish according to the published schedule, not sure who is riding it though.

Sundays attempt off as rider involved is ill.

Colin looking relaxed today.

Added, it's scheduled to start at 2:30 pm tomorrow afternoon.

Just a few minutes left now for Colin, he's definitely going to take the record.

43.133 kms. Great effort.

Ace.

I forgot all about it so only saw the tweets showing him get it. Great stuff.

Robert Marchand gets a new record - at the age of 105!

Inspirational! Hope I'm still going at that age!

So do I, but I'm not all that optimistic.

I wonder if Robert had to submit to a UCI dope test, which is one of the major expenses in these records.

If they found anything I want some of it - for personal use!

Would love to see his list of TUEs!!

Fantastic stuff.

Looks vaguely familiar...

Dion Beukeboom, 10th in Dutch Nat Champs

"he will head to altitude in faster conditions, and will also dedicate his entire 2018 season to the attempt"

Think he'll break it?

No

But that's on the basis of that article alone and no sound reasoning other than the fact it's almost always better to bet against a record being beaten.
