Bobridge: pas naturellement?
Ryan Cousineau
Improved the 4k pursuit record by nearly a half second. Beat his own
best by nearly 4 seconds. Almost unheard-of advancements, no?
Boardman's old record was Superman style, now banned.

You're right, I had not heard of anyone breaking Boardman's record
before. But just wait for the individual pursuit times in the next
Olympics, you should be even more surprised.

UCI did away with the individual pursuit. Now its only part of an
omnium.

Death to the fat Irish cretin.

a) The superman position may not have been that much faster, b) a year
went by for Bobridge to go from 4:14 to 4:10, c) middle distance records
are known for breakthrough advancements in PBs.
(I made that last one up from personal experience and watching 1500 m
speedskating on TV.)

You ruined the surprise!

You mean that god damn petition we signed was just slacktivism ?
Anton Berlin
He's being trained at the AIS by my former coach.

Well, Bobridge had less gravitational force to contend with, that
should count for something.

I'm just going to declare Anton Berlin dirty by association with a
successful cyclist, here.

Considering the timing of both Bobridge's and Dennis's fast times and
Hurricane Godzilla hitting Cairns at the same time, is there any
possibility that low pressure from the cyclone could have aided the
pursuit?

If only someone could catch a CCW tornado centered in the Moscow
velodrome - then you'd have something!
Carl Sundquist
I know it's pretty out-there thinking, but that the second fastest
time ever is followed within minutes by the new fastest ever, with
Bobridge certainly not fully tapered for the event, made me wonder.
Both are magnificent, monumental times no matter the conditions.
ilan
I think that you are not quite correct by saying Bobridge was not
fully prepared for this event. He won the Australian championships
followed by the Tour down under which finished a week before this
event. Sounds about right to me.

As I've mentioned here in the past, all the flags were dead still when
Ekimov rode his 4:26 on cowhorns.

That's Aleksandr Kiritchenko, '88 Oly Kilo champ. That picture is from
the '89 worlds in Lyon. He ripped it off during the last lap of the
kilo, simply glanced at the handlebar as it came off, then just tossed
it aside and kept going without a wobble, and finished with a bronze.

Carl - to some degree we've had these conversations before but don't
you find it hard to accept that these are pure performances? Take
everything we know about doping, how easy it is to boost or run a
steroid cycle (or both), hell even Maic Malchow admitted that his
kilos were doped. and these guys are essentially doing 4 of those in a
row and at sea level.

Consider that Cancellara should be at least 3 seconds faster than
Bobridge, even without electric motor.

I don't think FC could wind it up that fast. He is more like a
train.
Might make an interesting hour attempt.

Look at his prologues over technical courses, he has blistering
accelerations out of tight corners, clearly better than most of his
nearest rivals.

Jacky Durand on Eurosport said that Brobridge time was so good that a
lot of team pursuiters would like to have that time, including the
French team.
