Best photo from today. If nothing else, my aero position is spot on.
You looked very smooth, no upper body movement at all, nice aero. I was impressed, not least because with all your power coming from your thighs I thought you might have a bit more roll in your torso.
I'll happily chip in for the track hire when you go again.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

Your position is good, but nowhere near as aero as the geezer in your avatar...
Desperate bad luck, Poker: and Big Respect to you.
Despite the disappointment, at least now your "dress rehearsal" will enhance your grasp of pacing for the event - plus you know that if you can match your current form (or better it), you've got what it takes...0 -
You've got no one to apologise to, mate. Massive respect to you, and it will make it all the sweeter when you blow the record away when you get another crack at it.0

Is anyone else planning an attempt before you get another shot at it?0

Nope. Takes a certain type of crazy to go for this record.....0 -
Very sorry about the puncture Colin. Nice effort and good luck with Rio now...0

Another fun one to share.....
Riding a quick little TT against a few other riders in Japan over the weekend before actual track racing next weekend.0 -
Quite unusual to puncture isn't it - what tub were you riding and at what pressure?
Good luck next time by the way0 -

The tub and the pressure weren't the issue it turns out. It was the age and amount of use. It gave away at the sidewall - not on tread. I was give wheels to use - but didn't realise how much use the tyres had had at the time.0 -

You wana have a word with that bloke in the yellow. He's eyeing up your stem.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
that bloke in the yellow is carrying a bit of a paunch - if he shifts that he could be decent0

The chap in green looks vaguely familiar. Who are the two with him?0

Definitely one for the scrap book!
What’s the story behind how Froome and J-Rod came to be sitting with you? Were you top 3 in the Saitama TT?0 -

This was at the start. There were loads of chairs as we all lined up in start area. I sat down - they rolled up and sat beside me. I had chatted to Chris earlier in the day too.0 -
Bridie O'Donnel puts 600m on the women's hour record down in Adelaide - 46.882km - She looks phenomenally fresh...
Edit - also be interesting to see how her consistency fits on Xavier's graphs as she appeared to look metronomic (I dunno, I caught the last 2 mins - all you really need to see)We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Apparently Dowsett is going for this in 2017. If he breaks it, will Wiggo come back and try to reclaim it again given his un-retired state?0

He's not* continuing, if I hear right
