I guess so. However, I note they also say it will be live on YouTube, if so, my fears are allayed

And on the British Cycling website I think? Or the UCI website.

Free Sky streams on the internet are easy enough to find

Turns out some revolutions are televised.

I could break the record tomorrow. But I don’t just want to break it, I want to put it right up there, as far out of reach as I can ... I think if I do it, it will stand for 20 years.

I welcome competition. Whatever I do on Sunday I hope someone goes for the record again, even if they fail. If no one attacks them ... then the record will sit there dormant. Up to now it seems like people have been in a rush to get in there before I do it, and that’s great, but I hope it continues after this weekend.

Also suggests that Boardman's record is doable but the predicted high pressure over the weekend might put it out of reach.

Brad's bike.

Sir Bradley Wiggins said: “The UCI Hour Record is the toughest challenge of human performance in cycling, where every fraction of a second matters.

“I’ve worked with Jaguar’s performance engineers since 2010, and their world class knowledge and experience in aerodynamics, combined with Pinarello’s expert frame building, gives me confidence that I can set a new standard on Sunday.

Bradley Wiggins said that? The Bradley Wiggins?

Shame there isnt actually a single picture of the bike, just a load of arty farty shots of various bits.
Someone in the pictures deptartment has got a bit carried away.

You have to cut them out and stick them together.....

Strictly speaking, it was Jaguar's PR man, but it's what Brad would have said if he gave a toss about PR.

It's the same in Cycling News. I think Jaguarello are doing a bit of teasing with their photo releases.
