It seems a bit last minute but maybe that only applies to the announcement.

Dowsett will have a go at the Hour Record on 2nd of May
(as you may recall he had to call off his earlier date because of a broken collarbone)

I'll gue3ss he may well set a new distance. Whether it will stand an assault by BW will be interesting to see, and if it does not, whether he might have another go. Seems like most profis who attempt the hour do it just once, and with the level of preparation and pain involved, I'm not surprised!

So, Dowsett will hold the record for a month...
An article in Cycling Weekly this week suggested that he "bristled" at that kind of thinking ...
Cycling Weekly interview said:
Brad is a phenomenal athlete, and he'll be phenomenal at the Hour, just as he is with anything else he sets his mind to. But I don't think it will be a walk in the park for him.

"Only" 16 minutes but those figures are seriously impressive - there are not that many track sprinters in the UK who are capable of those sorts of splits for a single kilo never mind doing it 15 times in a row
