Cycling: Wiggins still confident of beating Hour Record

Bradley Wiggins remained confident yesterday of breaking cycling’s famous Hour Record next month despite seeing fellow Briton Alex Dowsett raise the bar on Saturday.

Dowsett recorded a distance of 52.937 kilometres in 60 minutes at the Manchester Velodrome to beat the mark set by Australian Rohan Dennis in February but Wiggins is confident he can go much further in his own attempt, scheduled for June 7 in London.

“I think it still leaves me in the same position, I’ll still go for the pace I’ve been training at,” said Wiggins, riding this weekend in the Tour de Yorkshire.

“Based on what I’ve been doing in the last three weeks I should be quite a way ahead of that. We’ve been training on 54 (kilometres) dead as a guide but it could go one kilometre further or 500 metres shorter depending on conditions on the day.”
