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.

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.

Obree's perspective:
Obree on hour record: Bobridge should try again in four or five days | CyclingTips

yeah they are - it would take a lot to pry mine out of my shop. I got mine from a team mechanic when he got something lighter for flying (they do weigh a lot, but break down small)
Not geo-blocked, and the U19 Points race (2nd to last race of the night) should be *mandatory* watching for what an exciting track race looks like... and the Elite points race that followed it was quite good.
Not sure if geoblocked, but the Australian National track championships will be streamed live including the hour record.

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.

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