What are the odds he won't break it? 😉PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20231

Maybe he should wait until next year?"Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago1

With inflation running so high, it doesn't mean much unless he can be Dan Bigham's time by at least 10%.0

There seemed to be problems with his visor and helmet yesterday.0

Eventually, scientists will have calculated that to do the hour, the air pressure has to be 813.5hPa, the rider will have to have an overall drag co-efficient of no more than 0.27, weigh no more than 74.9 kg's and no less than 74.8 kg's, and is no more than 183cms and no less than 182.5cms tall with a tyre pressure no more than 123.764 psi and no less than 123.762 psi, in a velodrome where the Oxygen levels are no less than 21.2% and humidity @ 29 degrees centigrade with an air density of 0.940kg/m3 and they will have to exceed 332watts average for the 60 minutes on a bike with 59 x 12 gearing at a cadence of no more than 106 and no less than 105 with a chainline that does not deviate more than +/- 0.00001 mm from the centre.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

and it'll all still go to poop when the rider forgets to have their Coco Pops in the morning..

Will watch it and wish him well... I am not sure he is in the best shape of his life and might turn out to be rather average...left the forum March 20230

Depends how much help the Ineos behind the scene team give him beforehand I reckon....

The Worlds' course wasn't Ganna's forte, not watched much as yet but the previews were describing it as technical, which is why I PTPed local lass Grace Brown, local knowledge and she almost got it until Ellen vD pipped her. Ganna is more flat out power. So the track circuit reps should suit him. We will see.0

Despite the technical nature of the WC TT course (and it was a bit rolling), I don't think Ganna is at his best.
Perhaps he is aiming to peak on October the 8th but would he elevate the hour over the rainbow stripes?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
He hasn't really been looking his best the entire season.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230

It is fair to say that his all season has been a disaster… I am not convinced he can make up for it with a blistering performance on the boards… he might beat it, but it will be marginalleft the forum March 20230

... it would also be pretty embarrassing if he didn't beat Bigham... same bike, same venue... can you imagine the best time triallist in the world, 4 times pursuit world champion can't match the time of an amateur aero-engineer, who didn't even get a medal at the Commies...left the forum March 20230

But who managed to beat the efforts of all the greats that went before him. I accept technology has improved even since the previous record was taken but I think Bigham's record shows how specialised doing the hour is.ugo.santalucia said:... it would also be pretty embarrassing if he didn't beat Bigham... same bike, same venue... can you imagine the best time triallist in the world, 4 times pursuit world champion can't match the time of an amateur aero-engineer, who didn't even get a medal at the Commies...

Wasn't Bigham a bit sketchy according to some bloke who posted on the Bigham thread?.

Bigham is a bit sketchy according to some bloke on the Internet who knows the rider intimately after once seeing him buying some Evening Primrose Oil in Holland & Barrett and because he associates with Sky/INEOS he’s obviously confirms him as megagroovygravy guilty.No_Ta_Doctor said:

He's looking smooth.
Looking good so far (that'll piddle on those dissenting pessimistic chip eaters).seanoconn - gruagach craic!1 -
And he is flyingNapoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0
