Christoph Strasser set the indoor track record at 585.252 miles (941.872 km) at Velodrome Suisse, Grenchen, Switzerland on 14–15 October 2017

If my math is right, he's going to need to average over 24.4mph for 24 hours to do so. Rather unbelievable for those of us who can't average that for an hour. Hope his saddle is not too high and tire pressure is right.

Good luck to him.

He is aiming to hold 40kph which is 24.8mph. Oomph.

Cannot fathom this. I've done a block of bike touring doing around 10 hours a day and it destroyed me. Pray for his taint. ;)

I'm getting dizzy just thinking about it! ;)

Over 3768 times around the track to beat the current record.

Does he get to whiz on the track?

Attempt done? Live stream doesn't seem to be up.

Looks as if it is still going. Stream is working for me, links to the live YouTube video. The analytics are very cool.

That's said I'm totally confused. On the web page it said the attempt would start 12:00 BST which I took to be midday over here. On the video it shows 12hr35m in to the attempt, which doesn't add up.

Also it shows current speed 35kph but average 49kph. That's nuts, you can do 20mins for a 10 at that pace. So I'm not sure I'm reading it right!

Gonna jump over to the UK TT forum and see if I can make any sense out of it.

Ok ignore me, it was stopped. Not sure what I've been watching on YT.

I guess whizzing on the track could have been a very bad result too.
