Very cool look at going for the hour...

Thanks for posting this.

I don't mean to take anything away from his effort, but the decisions they make in the film show why the 'hour record' is a crock under the current UCI rules (and I'm not even sure if the UCI was the governing body for this attempt).

The fact that there are 'fast' tracks should tell you all you need to know about how comparable these attempts are. I won't say whether he is successful or not, as I don't want to spoil it, but I did find it interesting and fun to watch.

The they have a team measuring the angle of the aero bars down to a fraction of an inch, but they don't regulate the temperature and pressure of the attempt? :confused:
