Quite a few to cheer on -
Should be a good event with some very good times.  Looking out for 120 in the main field

Scott Davies too, should be quite a contest!

[Steven]

Marcin has broken the '10' record today with a provisional 16:35!  Watch out for him tomorrow!

[Teresa]

Astonishing time - I believe that is 36mph average

Look forward to seeing the results tomorrow.

[Teresa]

Details still to be verified.........but............so far

Fastest man confirmed as Marcin.  Provisional time initially 44.09, then amended to 44.04.

New 25 record.  I believe the previous was 44.20

[Rob Jones]

Is this the polish born guy that lives in Somerset?

[Teresa]

He is indeed a Polish gent.  All 6ft 6" of him

Rides for ONE Pro Cycling

[Tom]

Bit disappointing-I thought he'd manage a 43 after yesterday!

[Rob Jones]

He's been around for a while then - I think he won the Betty Pharoah elite race with a solo win about 7 years ago...but until he smashed the 10 record the other day I never really heard of him as a time triallist! The pic I saw of the 10 is about the most aero looking position on a bike I've ever seen.

[Tom]

Well he broke Welsh Competition record(25)a month or 2 ago Rob(Teresa will correct me if I'm wrong!)

[Teresa]

Well you do like to test me, Tom

Not set in stone.......

Alex Dowset did a 44:29 on one of the London courses in May this year.  Marcin did a 45:29 in August.  Not faster than Alex, but 3 mins faster than second place in that event.

[Tom]

Thanks Teresa-I thought he'd broken Welsh comp record in Resolven but you will be right!(not UK just little Wales)

[Teresa]
