Hi Alex, I saw your previous hour record from track centre and it looked very very controlled, well until you were let loose. Shoud you plan another attempt, the tech gains since then plus your purported 30+ extra watts, puts you at furthest limits of hour performances. What's it like to be staring at bar 3438m further in an hour?
Plus what's your play list for a quality indoor HIT session?
Good luck,
Joe Beer
Is Alex still planning to have another crack at the Hour Record this year, after last year's postponement?
Anything in particular he would look to do differently this time? (except go further!)
