Obree has not set a date for his record attempt but Sunday will provide an indicator of his condition. "If the test goes well, I plan to attack the world record fairly quickly," Obree said. "Boardman's distance [49.441 km] won't be easy to beat, but I'm hopeful. I've followed a very strict training plan and even if I'm two kilos heavier than I was in 1993, it's two kilos of muscle." Chris Boardman set the current hour record on October 27, 2000, following UCI regulations requiring a standard bicycle frame. Obree himself had made his mark in cycling by developing new aerodynamic positions, including his famed 'superman' position. |

Re: Obree and the Hour
Speeking of the hour record, i'm pretty sure Ludo can beat it. And if
nobody tells him the hour is over he'll ride for a few hours extra.
