Thanks for that full quote.

It is easy to make a vague accusation. What are they using that can't be uncovered with modern testing? What teams specifically are using it? For example, look at how quickly the US track team leaped into the top in 1984 Olympics. Or look at the American riders at the Tour in 1993 versus 1994...

Well, at least you saw the first four days for free on Youtube. If I find a link for day 5, I'll post it. (It was free on BBC online, but it expired March 1)

The UCI hasn't announced the world cup schedule yet. However, the World Championships are set for London March 2-6 2016 (Dates were changed from initial announcement) Full schedule...

wow, page 1128. Anyway, Netflix posted the film Stop At Nothing, on Lance Armstrong.

How come there are hour trolls here but no hour groupies? On a positive note, here's a shot of Molly's hour.

Here is something to consider. I haven't studied this fully yet. But it shows about 1.8 km better for men and 1.5 for women. These altitude venues were outdoors. So, an indoor velodrome would yield a higher reward. As was stated before, there are gains from altitude and their are losses for the...

Let's avoid the ridiculous speculation of one rider in a frigid velodrome, one riding on a velodrome with high winds, and one in a velodrome/sauna. Contain the discussion to past attempts and future ones. Discuss wattage, VO2, training methods, pace, venue, and altitude. I will even discuss...

It doesn't rain in a velodrome! Nobody is going to try to set the hour record in the rain!!! Want to know if 'road racing' is faster in the rain, go out for a ride. Ridiculous question, as was the 60 degrees is faster than 80. Five world records in Athens 90 plus weather. The other two were set...

45.502 (Molly just did 45.637 but went unmentioned) Nice to see her last ten minutes came back up. This shows how tough this effort is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tgGIb24Hk Who suggested 60 degrees? Never be a record in that cold air. Warm is great. Warm and dry is much...

"RPM wasn't bad @ 99," Was it? I wasn't counting, but yes indeed it does seem he averaged 100 rpm. I thought the gear was going to be a bit big for him 58 x 14. His coach wanted him to use a 56 x 14 at 103 rpm. 88 degrees sounds perfect, even hot if that is what is was. (The clock didn't...

3 pm, like I said, which is 10 am EST. (US). You can Google what time in London corresponds to your local time. Or just watch the replay on Youtube.

Sarah goes at 3 pm or 10 EST according to The Guardian article.

Dowsett cancelled awhile ago. His crash and injury was headlined here. I listed the Sarah Storey attempt previously. It's part of the revolution series or at least piggy-backed. Molly's effort had to be after Dekker's. I usually do my best efforts at 4:00 pm. It was nice of them to sand...

found the Molly hour ride https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4CW3fdoshk She did start by aiming at a pace just above 46, 46.15 kph early on. However, her 1:18 kilometer pace slowed to about 1:20. She fell short of the world record by only thirty seconds, so jolly good ride. Her lines were...
