Re:

Any where to watch this from the UK ? They seem to have restricted everything !

Nvm the youtube works now !

With Google Chrome there are some plugins that allow you to connect through another countries' IPs.

are they gonna spend the entire hour jerking off to Wiggins previous wins

 

[Singer01]

he started early, and is nowhere near the line.

and he had a shave.

 

[goggalor]

He doesn't really seem to care about staying on the black line very much.

Could be worse they could be jerking off to a rider who has won nothing in their career.

Re:

Yep, very strange. Seems more like a few training laps. Someone should tell him the hour has started

 

[Velolover2]

Urgh, Kirby is the speaker. Why does he has to comment anything? >__<

 

[goggalor]

Barely staying inside the red line now. I'm confused.

 

[the sceptic]

i thought Wiggo was supposed to be good at this riding around in circles thing

 

[Pricey_sky]

Looks quite ragged at the moment.

 

[TommyGun]

He seems to ride outside the red lines when on the straight part of the track, while closing in in the curves. Maybe these trajectories have been studied?

 

[Miburo]

how much meter in a lap? 350m?

 

[Inquitus]

By my maths the first 8mins were at 52.5kph

Nah, forget what I've said. He is all over the place!

I don't see any pattern.. seems like he is just messing it up.

but I never watch track cycling so I have no clue.

 

[Miburo]

velodroom in london is 250m i think, looked it up

 

[Singer01]

is it me or does he look ridiculously quicker than dowsett did? sky presentation is nowhere near as good as eurosport was, how is he doing?

 

[mrhender]

I'am no expert but it seems he could easily do a heavier gear?

Planning for a monster last half?

 

[Inquitus]

54.55 at 11 mins

His usually style on the long iTT's is to keep something back for the final part and finish strong, I think he will do the same for this.

 

[Miburo]

he needs 220 laps for 55km (i think)

so 55 laps each 15 min.

 

[the sceptic]

how can the graphics be this bad btw? They should show graphs, average speed, etc.

 

[goggalor]

Re:

53.5 laps after 15 minutes is 53.5 km/h.

Re: Re:

wasn't it a bit more? My stream crashed

 

[Inquitus]

54.5 pace atm
