Cool! I never win anything.
Well done Jens but this was just a skirmish in the Hour War.

It was nice that Spartacus let Jensie borrow a Swiss Velodrome for the day

thanks... did you have typos in the .25 and .26 lines?
somebody else said they heard that he went 410 watts AP.
Air density 1.14 (18 degrees, 430 meters altitude, 70% humidity)
Jens (with clothing, shoes, helmet): 77 kg
Bike: 7.9 kg
crr: .002
I get these combos:
.20 cda/350 watts
.21 cda/367 watts
.22 cda/383 watts
.23 cda/400 watts
.24 cda/416 watts
.25 cda/432 watts
.25 cda/417 watts
.26 cda/433 watts

So a speed of 51.24 kph and a total distance of 53.2 km. That's how I interpreted it, anyway. Beats me why there was a difference, but it's not like the winner get's a new car, so whatever.I know what I wrote. I figured with Jens involved, pink wouldn't have been necessary for the second half. Plus, the thread title did ask how "fast" Jens would go.

Don't worry, your joke wasn't lost on me.

Why is there a difference?
It was a joke regarding Jens going so fast he broke the bounds of space/time. A la the Jens memes printed on his bike and found all over cycling publications/websites. I can't believe I actually have to explain this. And this physics geek is now out. Back to engineering work.
Well, I laughed at it. It reminded me of this classic Utah video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhm7-LEBznk
There aren't enough facepalms. Well played, sir.

Nice going guys. I missed the live coverage, you know, have to sleep an' all. But readying through the posts was practically like being there, I actually felt the build in excitement towards the end as he speed up. Top job, good team effort, and of course kudos to Jens, who made it all happen.

Jens Voigt's Suitcase of Courage will not fit in the overhead compartment.
Like Jens, this one will have to retire after today:
Jens Voigt has never made an attempt at the hour record because he could do it in less than 60 minutes.
#WWJD? What Would Jens Do?
ATTACK!!!
float , hammer , and jog

Fine, fine. You win the prize. Be looking for that in the mail.
I still don't understand how the two could be different. He rode for an hour and should have covered the same distance as the speed he averaged?

Any idea on how the distance measurement was made?
It wasn't a 250/meter interval, so it wasn't full laps.
When the time ended did they take a screen shot and measure?
Are the reference points used?
I see it was revised from 51.15 to 51.11. He lost 40 meters.
I like how he kept going. Made sure to finish strong.

Time split on the lap before 60 minutes, and a time split when he crosses the line after 60, then math to interpolate the 60 minute distance.

Relativistic effects come into play at those velocities.

Exactly. In reality he was actually ahead of himself, because by the time the light (his image) reaches us he is already further ahead.
