The Hour Record

He talks about ISN in the helmet vid:

"Might be a little bit late for the team camp, but they're fine with it"

At least there's no other Movistar riders on the track to lose the record for him.

Can you imagine Chenté there, trying to get his team car onto the velodrome and shouting "show them you have the balls, Alex" every ten seconds?

Custom. Might be for both of them, or include the R&D/tunnel time

He's a couple of seconds down at the moment which is obviously not a problem at all at this stage... but has he talked about his pacing strategy at all? (apologies if they discussed it in commentary, just turned sound on).

Dan Bigham went for a big neg split, no?

That's the sensible thing to do.

"22min in, should be still under control "

He said he basically wants to hovering around the previous record doing 16.3s for the first half an hour at least…

Haven’t seen any more on the strategy than that…

He should pedal faster, I reckon.

31k/34min in, seemingly 5+ seconds down.

It's biting now

they've got bieber on the sound system now. speeds gotta go up.

bieber ? I think I'd stop just to turn that shit off.

16,6 laps

16.7

Around now he’s going past the distance I might expect if I was riding an hour… still got 15 to go!

16.7

Yeah, don't think he's coming back from that. Wouldn't be surprised to see him quit in a few minutes
