Only one more sleep until the big news! I'm so excited!
“Road racing was over and the UCI had banned my riding positions on the track, so it was like ‘Jings, crivvens, help ma Boab, what do I do now? I know, I’ll go away and be depressed for 10 years’.”

So he's not giving over a whole year to it, like certain other 'cycling celebrities'? :roll:
I suppose the later that anyone leaves it, by definition, the harder it gets, assuming all the other contender break the record. Dowsett is getting in while it's still doable. I suspect this little rush will come to an end after Wiggins has done it. I think he might even beat Boardmans record which would put it on the shelf for a good while.
Not sure he will beat Bobridge to be honest, guess he/we will have more of an idea once Bobridge has had his go will be interesting to see if Bobridge smashes it if Dowsitt still goes through with it. I guess they have a rough idea of what they are capable to doing to pretty much know provided they don't blow or get a mechanical what distance if achievable.
He will have to perform well to beat Bobridge, Dowsett's performances weren't top notch this year, he's definitely a level below Wiggo, Dumoulin and Panzer, and also below Kwia, Chavanel and a few others too. It'll be interesting to see if he can beat Brandle as IMO they are about the same standard.

Hope not. He's in my draft fantasy team. Whilst I don't like doping, I have to draw the line when there are fantasy points on offer.

They're not.
I think we're moving into the area of 'bands that have that one song you know.'
Fair play to the UCI. Wether by accident or design they've breathed a bit of life into the hour record
