Time's up! You can achieve a lot in an hour, as Wiggo will hopefully find out on Sunday. Over 700 of you managed to get your name in the hat — that's one every five seconds, stat fans — but there's only two special golden tickets to be had. That's even more exclusive than a Willy Wonka factory tour.
We've delved around in the virtual black velvet bag, and pulled out two names. And those names are Ian Wood and Katherine Newlands. Well done to you two, and get your vocal chords warmed up for an hour of shouting!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The countdown has begun on our very special hour-long competition to win two tickets - courtesy of our friends at Rapha - to watch Sir Bradley Wiggins attempt to break the Hour record this Sunday at the Queen Elizabeth II Velodrome in London.
The competition is only open between 1pm and 2pm today, June 3 - it’s all about the 60 minutes.
It will be your chance to be a part of history. The event is a sell-out - in fact they sold out in eight minutes - and it’s no exaggeration to say that they are currently rarer than diamond-encrusted unicorn horn - and roughly the same price too. We’ve got two. And we got them from Rapha - so these aren’t any old tickets, they’re Gold tickets, and our two winners will get to watch Sir Bradley do his thing from the best seats in the house.
Rapha are doing their bit to back Sir Brad. They’ve just launched a range of Team Wiggins replica kit - you can read about it here and buy it from them here.
Along with Sir Brad they have also launched the #MYHOUR challenge - encouraging cyclists all over the world to ride for an hour between the 1st and 7th of June and to share that hour via the #MYHOUR hashtag. There are organised rides too, in various parts of the world, and there’s a further chance to win two tickects to watch Sir Bradley’s Hour attempt this Sunday.
Entry for the Hour Competition will be open today, 3 June, between 1pm and 2pm. We’ll notify two winners who will each get one ticket. Oh, and if you are entering, make sure you are actually free next Sunday and will be able to get yourself to London to see history being made. Or not.
