On February 27, 2016, American Evelyn Stevens set the Women’s UCI Hour record at the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center Velodrome, covering 47.980 KM, besting the old mark, set only five weeks ago by Bridie O’Donnell. Joining us again to review the attempt is Michael Hutchinson. Michael is the author of two cycling related books, The Hour, and Faster-The Obsession, Science and Luck Behind the World’s Fastest Cyclists. Michael is also a regular columnist for Cycling Weekly in the UK. Michael has attempted this hour madness twice, and he has won more time trial races that one can easily count.
