Did I see Bigham is going for the national record as opposed to the world record....?Felt F70 05 (Turbo)
Marin Palisades Trail 91 and 06
Scott CR1 SL 12
Cannondale Synapse Adventure 15 & 16 Di2
Scott Foil 180 -
Yes. He has to be a “member” of the official doping pool that currently all world tour riders are members of. Ribble obviously are not so hence can’t attempt the world record. There was talk somewhere that he could’ve joined the pool at a cost but decided not too. (Probably not explained it well)0

Surely you go as hard as you can?daniel_b said:Did I see Bigham is going for the national record as opposed to the world record....?
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.Veronese68 wrote:PB is the most sensible person on here.0 -
Also, it says that he must not be expecting to set a new World Record distance0
-
Presumably British record is Wiggins so if he beats that he'll not be far off the world record0
-
If the British record ends up further than the world record that's not really very satisfactory.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

It would cost £8000 approx to independently join the testing pool to be able to be counted for the UCI world record if your not a WT etc rider.
LeCol/Drops footed the bill for Joss apparently.
I read Dan has beaten Wiggins’s record in training so he won’t be far off a world record time. Shame if he does and it isn’t.2020/2021/2022 Metric Century Challenge Winner0 -
Also the first woman to ride more than 30 miles in the Hour, even if you include the 1996 "best human effort" ride that Longo did in Mexico City.0

Great ride, amazing how well she looked afterwards0

Half way, he's doing 53.9 km/h off the mark, but not by muchleft the forum March 20230

Is the only feed the youtube one? No time/distance covered that I can see, just the target distance.ugo.santalucia said:Half way, he's doing 53.9 km/h off the mark, but not by much

They said something about camera problems which meant they couldn't show the scoreboard.JimD666 said:

54.724 km apparently.0 -
Looked like Bigham did over 54.7km, so it's a British record.0
-
yep, 54.724... awesome. And good idea to save 8 grand... he'll go for the Hour next year, with some sponsors, I would assume now!left the forum March 20230

The guy commentating was absolutely atrocious. Kept stumbling over his words and then just spent the last minute or so shouting "Come on Dan!"0

In fairness, it's his second language and he was supposed to be supported by two brits but the connection didn't work. Pretty thankless job to commentate on track riding for an hour on your own.ugo.santalucia said:

I would have prepared... for example you could find what were Wiggins' distance at 10, 20, 30 ,40 and 50 minutes to compare... you could look at others too... Dowsett, for example.commuterlegs said:

Could have spent a few minutes with background on the hour record and the British equivalent... could talk about the rules, how the last lap works...
Some wrote books on the hour record, it's a matter of doing a bit of prep-work instead of just shouting like a lunatic and mentioning HUUB every 2 minutes

At least he looked like he'd put some effort in.

The whole You Tube thing was obviously low budget but, shame that was all you took away from the thing
Joss and Dan have been superb - it’s really taken the cover off the record I think . Wiggins took all that careful prep and race avoidance etc - those two were racing a cobbled Worlds less than a week ago! Brilliant

Dan Bigham bearing Wiggins shows how much technology has moved on. Bigham has said himself that he wouldn't be within 50 watts or something of Wiggins and it would be all down to aerodynamics."Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago0
