The Hour Record

Why is there no timing/ distance on the live stream?
Bloody Aussies.

He's not going to be riding an new/unfamiliar position.

I'm just happy they have a stream at all.

Why not? I do all the time.

That's why you haven't broken the Hour Record :)

Hour record is not the time to be testing positional changes.

Gradually dropping from mid-16 second laps to low-18s...

Is this the easy-going middle section before smashing it at the end or is he tailing off?

Will he leave @hippy eating humble crumble?

Silly commentators just shouting instead of giving us useful information about whether he's on target. How can I get excited without accurate data?

500m short! Ouch!

Anyone who attempts the Hour is epic. I don't care if they get it or not.

Oh well.

Gutted for him, must be feeling pretty awful. Hutch tweeted a while back that it's the worst feeling in the world and he didn't wish it on anyone.

at least we got some nice music

Valiant effort. I thought he was a nailed on certainty to get it.

Tough on Bobridge but good to have a reminder that you can fail at it too...too many successful attempts would get boring!

Does this mean Cervelos are slow now? Heh.

Does this mean 'straylyans are slow now? Heh

Hutch being his usual bad loser self, and getting rekt

The frame is probably OK, maybe not the absolute fastest now as it's based on the 5- year old P4, but if his equipment was slowing him down I'd look at the wheels first.

There are some questionable details in the cockpit too
