TShame said:I think Armstrong missed his chance years ago.
The Big Z ? I would watch him, but he hasn't impressed me in a while.
I wonder if Wiggins has ever tried out his legs? just to see how far he could go in an hour on the track. At least he can steer the line.
Levi Leipheimer would be a great choice as well. He seems to hold his pace in long time trials, a neccessity on the track.
flicker said:He will never try. Not much for him to gain. He knows he will looses minimum of 1/4 season in the attempt win or fail. He will loose much money.
Cycling fans do not understand or respect the hour record and studying Coppi,Merckx and Moser it seems a very personal accomplishment.
Cancellera does things for his ego. Besides the Swiss don't do things like the hour. They just don't do that.
Cerberus said:If anything is allowed the machines they ride won't recognizable as bikes. Such records also exist of cause, Sam Whittingham holds it at 90,598 km, but it is and should be held seperate from the cycling hour record.
Here's a clip showing the "bicycle" he used for the record. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMUNOLwW0io
It's about time that someone in the "elite" had a go at the hour. But not the athlete's hour. The real one, using all technology available.

Doghouse said:Hi there,
according to Wikipedia, the UCI hour record was beaten 10 days ago by Zachery Small in San Diego with 50.105 km. Does anyone know anything about this? Can anyone confirm? I couldn't find any other news about it...

TShame said:Thanks for your input. I would think that the whole thing for Cancellara would be up to his sponsors. It is expensive and requires at least a month of devoted training.
Obree has announced he has given up on another effort. Armstrong was close to the wattage needed before he retired. His main focus is climbing with the young guys. Wiggins coach recently said he can do 460 watts, which for his size could take the old-style hour. But again, he must focus on the Tour.
Maybe if Cancellara does P.R. he could just stay on the velodrome for a bit. We all know from his championship race that he could beat Boardman.
