Bobridge Fails In Hour Record Bid

Last updated : 31 January 2015 By Covsupport News Service

Australian Jack Bobridge has failed in his attempt to take the World Hour Record.

At the DISC Velodrome in Melbourne, Australia, Bobridge was half a kilometre short of IAM Cycling's Mathias Brandle's record and set a distance of  51.3 kilometres which failed to beat Brandle's record of 51.582 kilometres. 

Bobridge had riden for forty laps at a sixteen second pace but that went out to seventeen seconds and then eighteen and despite being roared on by a 1200 strong crowd, the last few laps took their toll and Brandle's record was safe by two laps.

It’s the closest to death I’ll ever be without dying,” said Bobridge after the event..

“That’s by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done, will ever do, 20 minutes in it sunk in what was happening and about to happen.

“Then 20 minutes in there’s nowhere to go, you have to keep going, it was brutal the whole thing, there was nothing nice about anything of it.”
