Hour Record (may contain spoilers)

Jesus that is fast, well paced as well

I know Wiggo is fast, and looking at that I think 'Jeez he's fast'...but I wonder what Dowsett is thinking considering his Hour will be happening less than a week from now...

Really interesting article about Alex Dowsett here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/get-inspired/32434988
I for one did not know that he has Haemophilia.

And he's on his way. I don't have eurosport so...http://cricfree.tv/update/euro2.php

I'm sat in work literally yards from the Velodrome. Sending him fast thoughts.

I know it's early days yet and he's still fresh but he looks great on the bike - very smooth, very stable and a perfect line. Hope he can sustain this...

Just one stray off line that I've noticed but, yes, he looks very rhythmic.

"Aerodynamistry"

Is that a real word?

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

The number in red that comes up at the end of the lap, is that based on Dennis' actual performance (i.e. where he was at the same stage) or is it based on his overall performance?

EDIT: Ok, it's been answered. Same stage.

I did a double take when I heard it but I think it like it.

Think it's actual pace.

 

[smutchin]

8 seconds slower than Dennis for 100 laps

 

[smutchin]

He's speeding up now. Gap is falling...

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Still building speed though not yet up to Dennis.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

8.1 seconds down

7.6

Under 7
