Riding around a velodrome for that length of time is an extraordinary mental feat. The degree of sensory deprivation resulting from seeing the same featureless, unchanging landscape thousands of times can drive even the most disciplined athletes insane. I understand why an indoor velodrome presents ideal physical conditions in some respects, but it must be the absolute worst place for an extremely time intensive effort. I would wager that an outdoor cycle park road coarse of maybe 5-10km with unique features, flowing curves and even a bit of gradient change would be much better for the mind. In any case, I'm very impressed by this man and by the team that supported him.

I cannot imagine doing 3000 laps at a constant speed in TT position (without even talking about the Watts required) for that amount of time even if the bike and velodrome can make you go 5 to 10 Km faster with the same wattage being in that position for 24 hours at constant speed is mind-boggling....

Your comparison with the B2 project and the way Kipchoge runs his long distance race by judging it as short distances in sequence is a great way of comparing these kind of feeds. The only real difference is time, even though 2 hours of running at 21kph is tough it is nothing compared to driving 39kph with a bike.. For 24hours! The athlete in this video is an extreme cyclist who does long distances so I think he deemed himself worthy for this prjocet. The only thing he did not keep in mind is surroundings. There's a huge difference between driving through massive landscapes or riding circles and seeing the same building over and over. Once again I really believe that they did not put enough effort in looking at the mental side, I really feel like the athlete should almost put himself in a state where he is addicted to the idea of achieving this new record. Lastly I still think his performance deserves a clap of hands because whatever the reason for him to stop the project, he still drove around 12 hours!!

As a compatriot of Christoph Strasser I'm now even more proud of what he achieved...these two competitors remind me of Boardman vs Obree, smashing each others records and pushing the limit further ... hope to see the next attempt on GCN again

Absolute bad ass. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.

So inspirational Mister MacDonald, keep going

I once participated in a 24-hour amateur car endurance race using a Mazda Miata (MX5) and I thought that was one of the hardest things I ever did and we had 3 drivers to split up the drive. Just keeping awake the whole time was hard and the none stop noise of cars made impossible to sleep. I can't imagine doing what he is doing.

"Don't try this at home" nah bro i would definettly like to go biking at my appartment for 24 h😂😂

What an impressive level of preparation, whatever the outcome. Respect! ✊

Hank, your best vid yet!!! Thank you......you did miss the two pivotal moments tho!!!

wow, i was just thinking this yesterday while cycling : “what if I was cycling 24hours, did anyone already done it’’, that’s cool I found this video

Grate effort m8, you'll get it next time!

Great vieo, great attempt. And even greater he does this while doing a 9-5 job! More success next time!!

Dude I can hardly plan a 10 mile ride on top of having a job

Why the f**k there is always someone to dislike a video like this???? That was an amazing video, cheers James, hope you try it again, next time you'll make it and hopefully the whole attempt will be broadcasted live via KZread!

after crash sit back and go for plan B was a real mental victory! amazing job anyway. so inspiring!

This fascinating! Congratulations to the whole team.

Really great job by hank. Top drawer presenting. Well done.

I can’t feel his pain, that’s a torturous endeavour. I did a brutish cycling challenge for June to complete 1,250KM and the last 8 days of the challenge, I had to do 50 miles per day. May be I can take on the challenge to ride for 24 hours but absolutely not at that pace. I really appreciated the guy who hold the record. He is a monster.

Good luck James. Hope you come back stronger soon.

Props to this guy, great effort and come back stronger

Heroic effort. Broke my heart.

Great story. He’ll be back. What an astonishing effort.

I used to train for rugby in the velodrome and I played at the behind on the AstroTurf for football.

kudos for even attempting the challange!!

With all the money spent on this attempt you would think they would have had the temperature set to whatever works best for James. Not sure if they would have had to bring in more equipment. Even if everybody else had to wear coats.

Usually hotter temperatures lower the air pressure allowing them to go faster.

Generally with velodromes, the temperature and humidity need to be specifically set to maintain the integrity of the wood boards. You can’t seal the wood as that would create an extremely slippery surface.

Dan should try this round a greyhound track chasing a beer.

Bravo to James for the attempt! I can barely ride a 40km TT @34kph without mentally anguish the last 5km, youre a champ in my eyes

Bravo ! Amazing effort and determination.

That's absolutely insane About 40 km/h for 24 hours what I'm proud when I manage to do that for ten minutes straight

Wow. Still a congrats for him! Hoping for a big come back and achieve that record! Still a 🔥🔥🔥 for trying

WOW that was beyond insane fair play mate

When your long distance girlfriend’s parents are on vacation and she says she’s home alone for the weekend. This cyclist: give me 24 hrs babe. 🚴‍♀️ 😤

Even though he didn't succeed it's still great to watch and see everything that goes into these records! This is the real world and failing is perfectly exceptable we are only human!

I feel for him and the rest involved. To bad... But great to see it here at GCN.

Man, I can only imagine what he went through. I biked 34mi yesterday on my fixed gear and that kicked my butt. Before the longest I had done was 15mi. I have so much respect for athletes like James.

Christoph Strasser did this on the street a week ago and pulled 1026,215km in 24h in the Rain here in Austria 🔥
