IIRC Andy Wilinson rode 525.07 miles in breaking the 24 hr TT record.
And besides, 839km = 521.34 miles if I use the right conversion :x
Maybe CN can't work out kilomopeters either.

The world record part isn't the most amazing thing about that article...it's the very last line:
A friend of mine doing recon before this year's etape said that Ventoux was 'soul destroying' after it took him over 2 hours to climb it.

Probably woudn't be...if the 17,000m of ascent wasn't coming as part of 240,000m of riding...

11 x 1,600 = 17,600m
Was half-joking that it probably 'wouldn't be hard' if the entire ride wasn't over 240,000m.
