Quality ride, and apparently before any TT specific training. 
Have to say I was reading the thread on the TT forum about whether he should have been allowed to ride with a mixture of amusement and bewilderment though! |

I refuse to look at that forum as its inhabited by head down cretins and social rejects. Can you summarise please?

Effectively as he's not a member of an ECCA affiliated club he shouldn't have been allowed to ride... rules is rules and all that.

What a backwards, old fart, stuck in the mud 'sport' timetrialling is.
The sooner those clowns are banned from our dual carriageways the better

Oh, ok. Still.
Re the Jock Wadley - did he enter? It'd be strange if he was refused seeing as Sky riders were in the Eddie Soens, Lincoln GP and a few other events last year, and some Italian pro was in a NW event before the ToB.
But yeah, BC can be just as bad - look at the current Cicle Classic farce for one. |

UCI have tightened their procedures, closing the loophole that allowed ProTour riders to ride a small number of lower category events. Result is that you'll not see ProTour riders riding smaller events in any country this year. |

And just for the record the E1 course that the Lea Valley 25 was held on is far from a dual carriageway - a lumpy single carriageway and to average over 30 mph on that is a stonking ride.
My best is 57-01 on there, which was when I was at my best and the week before I did my overall PB of 54-10 on the E72 (in the Redbridge 25 in 1993 which Matt won with 50-05).

im not that convinced that matts previous course record was on that version of the course?
nino & me did a two up on there at the end of 2009 & we had to stop a mile from the end as nino smashed his front wheel up on a pot hole... we did a mid 54 that day
also he only took 4 seconds of matts 10 course record the day before....
