So Alex Dalcett is targeting the UCI hour record on December 12th and I thought I'd go through what the differences are between his new setup and what he has to achieve and what did achieve previously, which was his previous hour record, which is about 52.5 kilometers. So anyway, I thought first of all, we'll go through obviously what Wiggins did. So Wiggins did 440 watts, 450, something like that for an hour, which is crazy obviously. And then Campanets were at altitude and did 330 watts, but at altitude apparently, well that's what's predicted. He's never said how much power he's done and he rode 55 kilometers and you can see the previous record that Dalcett did was 53, pretty much 53 kilometers. So he's got about 2 kilometers to make up, which is obviously quite a lot. So we're going to go through first the position and then Dan Viggins was quite an interesting article, which we're going to go through about his equipment and all the rest of it. So first of all, it's an old school bid from me back in the day and this is from Dalcett's hour record attempt. So obviously you can see it's on a canyon frame. We're going to get into the equipment in a bit, but we'll just look at a position first. So in terms of ham position, it's like a classic like this. It's not the turtle, which is seen as mohero because your ham is half in space. There's like a classic, classic grip. Nothing too crazy. Obviously went to the wind tunnel. Head is pretty high. He can see quite well, which on a track you really don't need to be see very well. You just follow the black line all the way around. It's decent position for sure. I mean, he did 360 watts. He said and did 52 kilometers an hour. So that's very arrow. Considering the boy can do probably another 40 watts. It's going to be pretty big. So we'll go over to Campanar. That's what he was saying. So he was he's given some good insights and he says he's their mates, but you know, he didn't say anything. Talks about altitude, but he says one of the biggest things here is that he can choose the bike. So obviously Campanar has had a riddley, but I don't think it was a riddley. I think it was something else. But he's saying like Dolan or Kogan me out to do special bikes, but he thinks he could end up with a British track bike. I doubt he will unless the British people are sponsoring it, but anyway, he's definitely going to have a quick quick quick bike and Dalsett will need to improve by two kilometers. That's equivalent of 50 watts is what he suggested. So that's a pretty good indication of what he's going to do. And according to Dalsett, so Dalsett said that himself he did 360 watts, which as you can see here. So you know, that's a lot lower than what he can achieve. So definitely. So if we go if we go over to Dan Bigam's analysis now, he claimed it was 395. Mova style seemed to just bump that up to 395 watts. So that's obviously going to change Dan Bigam's calculations, but it's still interesting to go through because obviously he knows a fair amount more about error than myself. That one on the biggest thing. So if Dalsett were in the same conditions, he would have to do another 1.3% power. And this is one of the issues with going at not to altitude or not in Mexico. So Cameras were saying in Mexico, the the air pressure is like more or less the same every day. So it's pretty easy to predict. You don't have to worry. While in the UK, the wet, the air pressure changes significantly, which means obviously the distance is going to change significantly. Now he then moved on to tires. So for Dalsett's record attempt, he used the Constantinople Tempo Track tubeless, which I think are quick, but they're not that quick. And like if he gets to choice of equipment, he'll be on Vitora Vitora piece of piece of speeds, which the fastest track tire out there, everyone uses them. So that will be obviously a big gain. So this is what Dalsett says is that he's saying the difference in rolling resistance, the coefficient of rolling resistance is what CRR is. And it's 0.003. I'm not sure what the units are. They might be arbitrary units or my be unitless, but at last it doesn't really matter too much. You can see there's a bit of gain there. And obviously this is when he wrote this article, I believe it was in 2016. So obviously the difference now will be even larger. Dan Bigger does say there's some some things are wrong. He says, Starrantay we know wax, that's not correct. Dalsett did use wax. A lot of people think he didn't, but he definitely did. He literally says on his video. So this game probably won't be there. But I still think waxing now and chain speed would have gone on a little bit. So this is why I think he is a good chance of getting it because we're going up here. So you can see from what he predicts the aerodynamic power, 351 watts, which is obviously wrong. But if we add up all of these, so it probably is more like the drivetrain efficiency was significantly less. And the rolling resistance was probably what Dan Bigger predicted. So more or less he's about the same, but probably slightly off on the the aerodynamic power, they had to do because he's probably more error than Dan Bigger predicted because obviously the total power he had to do was 358 watts. So he's got a nice nice graph here. So he's saying if Alex out was to get superb atmospheric conditions output for nine watts, completely optimizes equipment position, he would be able to match what Wiggins did. So obviously Wiggins is still 500 meters off. But the reason I think that Dalsett can do it is because this is Dan Bigger's calculation on the power that he did was 360, but Dan Bigger, but he didn't, he is 358. So if he increases 40 watts, I think he's going to get it because I think like he's just so error and just seems to go so quickly. So then when he goes through some more, just about the pressure and all the rest of it. So now he's saying the total power, 49 aerodynamic 374, but I think he'll be even less than that, maybe 20, 30 watts less. And then he goes on to altitude calculations. And this is where he says the optimal altitude is 2750, which is where he was going to do it. But obviously the issue was as the Dalsett had to hold back. But now we're going to go into just some pictures from the Dalsett's wind tunnel testing. And you can see very, very arrow here. In terms of the helmet, he's got an HJC helmet, which is obviously what campin' out to you. So he's maybe just testing that. There's also pictures of him with a pop helmet. He also doesn't have a helmet on which I think was the one they were doing 3D scanning of him. He's got a full-tech overshoes, which are very, very quick. And also 3D custom. They're like 5000 pounds of something stupid, but apparently very quick. So all these little things are like gains compared to what he had. So like we've got wrong resistance. It's probably position itself will be the biggest and tires and skinsuit will be faster. Like everything will be slightly faster. Plus he has maybe another 30 to 40 watts to give. So when you pull up to gather, I think Alex Dalsett definitely has the possibility to do it. I'm not saying he's going to do it, but I'm pretty confident he would. As long as the air pressure, the big unknown is the air pressure. If the air pressure is just too high, then it's not going to happen. But assuming the air pressure is similar to what he had and not crazy high like Wiggins had, because Wiggins, like apparently could be a kilometer, he could have gone a kilometer further just because of the air pressure. So definitely the air pressure is one of the most important things. So if Dalsett's good at air pressure and you come back 390 to 40 watts, I think he's got a very good chance of doing it. He seems to be very arrow. He's always does less watts than you expect and to go the same speed as other riders. And his position, like if we compare this to this, it's miles apart. And miles better now. In terms of wheels, we didn't mention that. The Campanola Borough wheels assume we'll be using them again. They're widely seen as the fastest wheels. Team GB use them or straighty use them. Everyone, if you just watch the European track, the World Champs is coming on at a moment. European track World Champs, that doesn't make sense. European track champs, as I remember, everyone who's fast, everyone who's money runs the Campanola Borough. So if I assume we'll be running them and then frame again, there's not too much in frames apparently. That's what Dan Bigger might remember saying, not too much in frames, but you know, he might have this one slightly quicker. But I think everything added up, buying it douses in a real good chance of being Campanola's as our record. And the prediction for Campanola's our record was only 300 and died. You know, it's obviously the altitude. So I think douse it doing 400 is a more arrow than Wiggins, maybe not, but Wiggins had horrendous atmospheric pressures. So if douse can get the good atmospheric pressure, Watt 400 watts, I think he's got a good chance. What you all thought, let me know below. And cheers for watching and we'll see you in the next one.
