The Hour Record Banter...

Cadel? I don’t understand.

Tony Martin is just such a beast. He buries himself on a solo break away then hops on the front to help out team mates in the hills and then goes and smashes an ITT. He shows his suffering. He’s a beast.

If I’m honest, I’m really enjoying the guys going after the hour, however I would like to see more of the female pros going after it. Lift their profile and the profile of the women’s pro peleton too.

Agreed on false modesty, for sure. Maybe he was pressured into comment? That makes it a bit different to making a statement off his own bat. And i am pumped to hear love for Martin :relaxed:.
Cadel was always going after one day wins while still competing at gc

my only objection to martin is his weird head.

I would like to see Luca Paolini have a crack, sit behind schedule for 45 mins and then smash it :slight_smile:

Much lol.
Would be awesome though…

he’d be on his phone like in the tour last year

He is like a ventriloquist doll.

Cadel won a tough WRC, Flech Wallone and TDF among other short stage races in a 2 year period.
A pretty varied result considering todays specialist riders.

still has a bum chin but

That chin could not be aero.

He looks a bit like a bobblehead. Rmember when he rode for HTC and was just an air inlet with quads perched on a bike? Then he rode for quickstep and got really gaunt and homeless-like.

I still rate him though. After Cancellara he’s probably my favourite.

LOL air inlet with quads

Might have a crack at the #BerzinHour later as a warm-up for watching the Wiggo tilt. 14.8 km, I feel it’s within reach!

So Wiggins has done 54.9 in practice.

Sorry if this is already among these pages but… coverage starts at 3:30 in the AM’s. Should be up on cycling torrents in the morn at a more decent hour :wink:

LIVE / Bradley Wiggins #UCIHourRecord Attempt - London (UK)

Fort William D/H from 11.30pm, hour record from 3.30am.
All sorts of awesome.

Fairly solid banter

You must’ve done it tough at school.

Went to the roughest public school in the richest suburb.

54.4. Solid.
