Thor Buttox Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 As we were flying down the Malmesbury road in the 99er yesterday at 54kph for a few minutes, I was actually thinking to myself 'This is what Tony Martin time trials at, on average' for an hour, on his own. These guys are insane.
Vetseun Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I think Chris Boardman is going to beat the record
gummibear Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 Rohan Dennis breaks track cycling's hour world record Australian Rohan Dennis has set a new hour world record of 52.491km in Granges, Switzerland. The 24-year-old broke the previous mark of 51.852km set by Austrian Matthias Brandle last October in Switzerland. Last month, England's Alex Dowsett postponed his attempt to break the record after a slower than expected start to his recovery from injury. Sir Bradley Wiggins has also expressed an interest in a record attempt this year but a date has yet to be set. Dennis, who won the recent Tour Down Under, is the second man this year to attempt the record after compatriot Jack Bobridge recently went close. Dennis, 24, was world pursuit champion in 2011 and Olympic silver medallist in London with the Australian pursuit team.
Squier Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 He smashed it. Reading Bobridge's comments after his attempt puts this well into perspective. Awesome ride.
'Dale Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Heard suggestions of 380-390 watts avg for the hour.Any idea what it actually was?And, more importantly, the watts/kg?Is it disclosed?
