Jack Bobridge has just ridden a great Tour Down under which finished on Sunday, had the leader's jersey for the first 2 days and won the KOM. I've definitely got my money on him setting the bar for the hour record - till Wiggins' attempt.

Bobridge hour record live now:
Live stream: Watch Jack Bobridge's Hour Record attempt - Cycling Weekly |
@35km he's on pace for 52km.
|
42 minutes in and his form is still well composed. He's hurting tho.
|
He's holding the black line and at 45 minutes he's lifted his pace a bit. I say he'll get 211 laps in.
|
Picked up the pace again with 10 to go. Doing 17s laps now.
|
5 minutes to go and his line is getting a little ragged.
|
Perko is waving him on in the bends! He's picked up the pace again with 4 minutes to go.
|
Didn't get it, but close. 51.3 km. Just over two laps short. Looks like he lost it at around the 37-40 minute mark. That's where he started to go ragged a bit and his cadence dropped a little.
|
I watched Jack's attempt. I've not checked yet but I suspect Jack would have the hour record if he had done it at a higher altitude similar to the Voight and Brandle rides.
|
Higher altitude and a slower start. He was doing 16.xx second laps for the first 20 minutes

Wow did he ever start fast compared to the others. Maybe he was expecting to smash it and make an impossible to beat record, then realized how long an hour is :)
The 1hr record is a nasty event. You have so many people watching every lap, its not like a TT where you can just have an off day, you are basically challenging the world. |
he had done at least one long (+40') test (mentioned in his pre-effort interviews, so it wasn't like he hadn't been through a bunch of the sensations/duration stuff before.
He isn't new at this pursuiting thing, and his coach isn't either - very odd on the whole. |

I have a hard time explaining this. I found this device today used by Anchor/Bridgestone in Japan.
If I were fitting bikes, I'd use a tool like this. I wouldn't start with the frame or frame dimensions. I'd sit the rider on this then move stuff around till he or she got into the desired position. After it's all done, then I'd take measurements. http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment...9&d=1422860451 |
That fitbike is absolutely beautiful and insane!

I've seen several frameless bike fit tools. Here is one at the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine
